Planning on driving out to the Humana Challenge next year for the Friday through Sunday rounds. To anyone that has been, do you have any general advice or recommendations for getting the most out of this experience? It will be the first PGA event I've been to.

Thanks!

Number of steps just fits in with the health and awareness theme that Humana/Clinton emphasize this week. More pics

That's OK. Gary Player likes Gary Player enough for the both of you. :-P

If you want to help, post here. It's inappropriate to ask people to email you.

What kind of bullshit is that? It's that users decision whether or not they chose to email me. I have a lot of connections down here and would love to help out but I can't post any details to an open forum because of the obvious necessary privacy. My intentions are good, I'm trying to help. Take it or leave it

I never thought i would see Gary Player with a (small) spare tire around his middle. And what kind of 'training' club is he swinging?

Um, that is just his shirt overhanging his belt, not his stomach. Gary Player is probably more fit than half the PGA Tour and those guys are half his age ;)

Awesome pictures Mike, thanks for sharing.

My boss is actually there right now and is going to be part of the Pro-Am part of the tournament.  In fact, my bosses Caddie at the tournament is the same caddy that caddies for Joe Durant.  He called my boss on Saturday from Hawaii at the Sony open, where he was caddying for Joe, to confirm they will be working together (of course, my boss was super excited)..  It's Kinda cool because Joe Durant won this tournament when it was the Bob Hope Classic in 2001..  My boss should have some interesting stories when he gets back which I will be sure to share when I get to talk to him about it.

Great pics.  PGA West looks to be in immaculate condition.  It is always interesting to see the varied compositions of the tour players' bags.

      Day 172: mirror work for a while during SNF. Working on cleaning up the early backswing stuff. Definitely seeing the improvements I’m looking for.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By saevel25 ·

      OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?
