So very, very awesome. Played a round of night golf last night (91) and when we got to the bar after the round, one of the bartenders said he had an extra ticket for today's (fri) round! I've had 3 hrs sleep and I'm heading out the door as I type this. SO excited. My first ever PGA experience. :-) I'll take an obnoxious amount of pictures and post them later. :-D

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Yeah, but I didn't know who he was. I tried to order a hotdog from him...didn't go over very well...

That was my first, and possibly only, chance to see PGA pros live. Standing directly behind a tee box when one of these guys hits a drive is absolutely mind-blowing.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

By the way, your man Gmac was awesome on Friday. Sticking it close on every approach, he was inside Luke Donald and Wier all day. He also looks just so damn personable.

You know what's even more mind-blowing???  Standing directly IN FRONT of the tee box when one of these guys hits a drive.  Literally. :-P

I'll take an obnoxious amount of pictures and post them later.

BTW, thanks for all of these ... they were awesome!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

I didn't know cameras were forbidden. Security said, "what's in the bag?" and I replied, "oh, just my camera." :doh:

Well then ... you're an idiot!! :-P

You'd have had a better chance getting through if you'd have said "cocaine and a handgun."

Yep, that's me. :doh: The guy I was with took a bunch on his iPhone and said he'd email them to me but hasn't so far.

That's funny, we did stand directly behind the green on some approach shots. Dudes are hitting 200 yard approaches and we're standing five feet off the back of the green. You won't catch me doing that at the local muni. LOL.

Sounds like you had a good time! :-) I'm lucky enough to live 7 minutes from the most popular course on the Canadian Open rotation (Glen Abbey GC), so I've been to 3 Canadian Opens. It really is an awesome experience.

      Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer??

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
