My BF and I were actually there today!! It was FREEZING cold, but I did get to meet Kenny Perry and Anthony Kim and even got their signatures. This was our first time at a PGA event and we'll def. be back. It was a lot of fun!! We hung out at the 8th hole where we could see them chip/putt on the 8th and the tee off on the 9th. Too bad it was cold though
:( but it was a lot of fun!!

What is cold to you? Its Southern California... I played a round saturday in 27 degree weather. ;)

I was able to attend the BMW Championship this year and it was amazing. Congrats on getting signatures, they had Cog Hill well secured so that nobody was able to get signatures. Still an amazing time.

That's cool.What was AK like?Kenny Perry always seems to have time for fans. What a round it was though.Camillo's Albatross, Harrington chipping in from the rough twice and Cink and.. someone else holing out from the fairway for eagles.Amazing
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

 

OMG!! What amazing shots...they didn't show Kenny Perry's awesome putt where it turned and went into the hole...but he was super nice, I was able to catch him when they were hitting balls at the range there! Anthony Kim is super nice, too bad I'm not a little kid, he signed his hat and gave it to some kid... :(

Yeah, little kids have it good at pro tournaments. I saw a few kids from my course there today. Two of them, brothers, got hooked up. One got his hat autographed by a bunch of dudes. The other said he got one of AK's shoes on Saturday!? His shoe, and he signed it! Never heard of such a thing.

I have good news: this wasn't a PGA event. There's OWGR points at stake, but it isn't sponsored by either the PGA or the PGA Tour. I guess this means you have a great excuse to go to another professional tournament soon!

Next month there's one at Torrey Pines (La Jolla / north San Diego). February has one at Riviera (about half an hour south of Sherwood). March has one at Newport Beach CC (not to be confused with the executive course near the airport). From the general area that I think you are from, you can probably get to at least one of these. And Tiger should be at the first one.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
