Some thoughts from walking the South and North yesterday - not the whole place of course but more than usual.  A very good day overall.

Snedeker was really enjoying himself, he seemed to be smiling the whole time I saw him.  Very relaxed and smooth action.  He was already 6 under at around 2.

Mike Weir looked very sharp esp. with his irons.  I saw him lay up from the rough on a par 4 and said to my friend, "Good decision.  Going for the green was too risky and he could easily make par from here with his short game" - which he proceeded to do.

My friend and I were walking along the 14th talking about Phil's tax situation - my friend takes a different view and thinks he should just suck up the new higher CA tax rate - when we noticed that his wife was walking right behind us with another woman.  Well, that was the end of THAT particular conversation .....  Phil's wife looked very good and seemed to be having a fine time, not that she was following her husband's game very closely, at least for the couple holes we followed him - too busy chatting with her friend.  I hadn't realized that she's quite so petite.

I must say that Daly was looking good and fit.  His weight looks about right and unlike last time I didn't see him smoking - bravo!   I've always been a fan of Charles Howell III and it was good to see him playing so well and enjoying himself.  Never forget, it was here that he flew the ball right into the hole on the approach shot on the 18th on Sunday with a one shot lead; the ball bounced out, ran down the slope and into the pond - loss of tournament.  That guy deserves to win a few more tourneys before he's done.

Beachcomber:  yes, the rough was cut shorter than I've ever seen at Torrey.  Lots of guys were hitting greens from well off the fairway, hence some of the low scoring.

I can recommend the Schwab tent on the 17th fairway.  Cheers!

TW looks very good at -11 after 36 holes.  This is going to be a very interesting weekend.  Several solid players are in the hunt.

Well, you know how Tiger has nicknames for all his buddies? I call Tiger nicknames and it's like we are buds too.

And you followed the Tiger form of really lame, name-related nicknames. Well done.

    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

    • Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
