Can Rory make it four big wins in a row? This is surprisingly a tournament that Tiger Woods has never won, so maybe that will crack down on Tiger footage....probably not. (Vijay has won it four times)

Tee Times right here.

Will be interesting to see if Rory has the motivation this week like he's had the last few tournaments. My guess is he may save his best for the Ryder Cup and TOUR Championship. No matter how he does these first few FedEx events, he will win the FedEx Cup if he wins at East Lake.

Played there in June and attended the Barclay's the last time it was at Ridgewood and was going to go again this week, but decided to go downashore tomorrow for a long weekend. Great spot to watch golf. I highly recommend it if anybody is thinking of going.

Down the shore? Which beach? I go to Ocean City, NJ and play at Shoregate when I am "down the shore". Played three rounds there last week. Tough course.

(lol, I can picture some people scratching their heads at the expression "down the shore")

All I know is that "shore" combined with "Jersey" makes me angry.

I never saw the show you are no doubt referencing, but that is a completely different type of beach community than the one I frequent. Different as night and day.

haha, thank god.

Rory currently at 3 over after going double bogey than bogey. Last place atm.

Cameron Tringale with some good karma as he's having a nice round at 3 under and tied for the lead with 6 holes to play.

Ouch, Rory bogeys ANOTHER. Bad putt. This game is so strange isn't it. One day you're firing on all cylinders and the next you're struggling to put up a respectable round.

Rory is just off today. He has to be a bit exhausted from all the appearances (off the golf course) lately.

I would love for Rickie to win the Fed Ex Cup. Playing well again at the moment.

I'd just like to see Ricky win at least one tournament.  Great year

Adam Scott always in the mix every single time - he's a real contender too

Jimmy Walker looks like Kevin Spacey

Rory finally gets a birdie.

I'm curious as to what the 2nd featured group will be.

I'd imagine it will be the Kuchar, Furyk, and Sergio group.

It is Ernie Els, Jeff Ogilvy, and Jonas Blixt.

OY! THE VOLUME IS A LITTLE HIGH ON THIS ONE FOLKS. MAKE SURE YOUR VOLUME LEVEL IS DOWN. Just a friendly tip.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
