I'll be there on Wednedsay, Thursday and Saturday. I'll try and post some info and pics if I get a chance. I'm looking forward to it as it is my first Major. I've played #5 at Pinehurst and only drooled when looking back up #18 of the #2 course.

It will be interesting to see what kind of shape the course is in since the reports (down here anyway) have been pretty iffy about it being Open-ready by next week. I'm sure it will still be better than anything I've seen...although the Wachovia @ Quail Hollow is stunning.

Anyway, like I said...I'll try and post some when I get back those nights.

Fairways and Greens.

No way...I saved myself the embarassment. I'm going for the US Amateur this year though. I haven't played much competitive golf since college. I finally feel like I have my game to a spot where I can keep from making a fool of myself in front of the better amateurs.

I'll try and keep the pics G-Rated. If I get anything...well...you know, I'll send you a message.

Fairways and Greens.

Why embarassment? I'm way beyond that. I signed up for our regional pub links , amateur and the Open. Do I have a shot? Hell no. But I get to play 3 private clubs for approx. $100 each, where I'd normally never get to play! With a little bit luck, if I qualify to the finals - Pub links is held at Bethpage Black... that would be sweet

I thought the Pub links this year was at Shaker Run in Ohio...not too far from my original stomping grounds of PA. Anyway, the course I'm trying to qualify for the Amateur is only 5 minutes from my house, so I figured what the heck...I'll need a 70-70 to qualify for the finals. My personal best there is 71 from the tips.

Need to go sharpen my game a bit!

Unfortunatelly I missed the deadline for the USGA Pub Links

... I was talking about the MGA Pub Links (NJ-NY-PA-CT). Still a tough tourney, I don't think a 75 will get me into the second round...

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
