Bubba's a douchebag - he didn't even acknowledge the fans one bit at the tournament I went to last year.

going to a PGA tournament is an awesome experience. ill be attending the U.S. Womens Open next week, should be good.

yea it was pretty awesome. saw boo weekley in his camo and hunter orange stuff haha. to see them drive the ball in person is just ridiculous it doesnt look like they are swinging that hard but the ball goes forever. on 6 charlie wi hit his ball and it started to go right near where the water is it came down and hit the edge of a rock by the water shot straight up and onto the green haha he lucked out so much that was crazy. watched fred couples draw the ball around some trees on the green i was super impressed at how accurate they are even by doing that. but obviously the biggest most impressive part of the day was to see tiger and the massive crowds following him and the roar of the crowd when he made a good shot was just amazing =]

I got here on Tuesday and these first three days have been great. I took a few dozen pics and will try to post the best when I get home and have a chance to edit them and post them online.

It is my first tournament but won't be my last. Tuesday is definately the day to go - You can take pics, the players are relaxed, and other than around Tiger there are no people.

Sorry---but I am watching two of my favorite golfers in the whole world---both Americans: Laura Diaz and Natalie Gulbis:

Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic
Pos Player Today Thru Total
T1 Sarah Kemp -8 F -11
T1 Laura Diaz -4 F -11
3 Morgan Pressel -3 F -10
T4 Seon Hwa Lee -8 F -9
T4 Natalie Gulbis

They look so much better than any of the guys.

You are right about the proam. My son and I love to go to proams or better yet, the practice rounds for Majors. As you wrote, you are allowed to bring cameras, and we have videos from using our camcorder. For the next two years, as you point out, the tournament will be at Aronimink, which is near Philadelphia.

I will definitely go again next year but probably just stay for the practice, pro-am, and first round. Now that I have seen Tiger I really don't want to fight the insane crowds on a 3-day weekend. So chances are I will be posting again in about a year about having a pass available for the last 3 days... :)

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
