yea not digging on the hats at all... another comment on this tourney.. why does Adam Scott wear tight pants!? for some reason i just dont like the guy anymore... i grew up in the "young gun" days and he was part of that. i loved watching him play growing up, i think after the whole caddy thing i became disgusted by it all... just looks kind of gay haha love the swing though. i dont know maube i just find him annoying and im not sure why?

I thought they had to do with the "Love your driver" campaign that Taylor-Made was doing. But, either way, it is silly to see Dustin Johnson looking into the camera looking like a hick at a county fair!  As Ricky Barnes would say, "Seriously!"

Dissappointed that my boy Mike Weir was denied an exemption. I guess being a two time past champion doesn't count for much anymore.

Wow, that seems very odd.

Jerry West is the Executive Director of the Northern Trust.    As General Manager of the Memphis Grizzlies, maybe he developed an aversion to Canadians since the team he inherited had just moved from Vancouver.

I like Weir, but I can see the rationale. He's only made two cuts in 2011 and 2012. A T70 at the AT&T; National and a T77 at last year's Northern Trust.

I was there for the Phil eagle, kinda. Actually I was in my spot on the 9th tee watching the group I was following tee off, and Phil was in the group directly behind them.

I always tell myself, I'm not going to take pictures and focus on these guys' pre-shot routines and their swings. But, I walked in and found Phil on the second hole with the legendary clubhouse in the background and I couldn't resist. Took a few other photos and vids. In the vid of Sergio's tee shot you can hear the buzz of the crowd after Phil's hole-out.

One thing I learned today, Ricky Barnes is a beast! That dude is huge!

** my phone doesn't seem to want to send my pics right now, so I'll get them up asap

This... I think his elbow injury has pretty much killed his career but maybe he will bounce back.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
