its a home event for him

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 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
