Has anyone here been to a Monday Qualifier? Since there's so many great players playing tomorrow, I'm definitely going. Mayakoo Country Club is a private course - can I just show up and expect to follow my favourite players, or is there something I should know? Thanks in advance.

No idea, but @mvmac caddied in a Monday qualifier so perhaps he has some insight on spectator rules? I would bet it would be awesome just cuz there's likely nearly nobody there and probably not much in the way of ropes or other things preventing you from getting a great view of the players.

Try to call the club if you can to be sure. There typically isn't an issue with spectators.

This is why I like to go to US Open Sectional qualifying.  No crowds, great players to watch, a great course to see, and it is all free.  IMO it is the best bargain in golf viewing.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I called the club and made sure spectators were welcome. What a great day I had. I followed Immelman's and Ilonen's group and was extremely impressed by the ball striking of both of them. Both ended up missing the cut comfortably, though, as 65 was the last score that made it to the playoff. I was also impressed by Marcel Siem and Tommy Gainey. What a powerful and unique swing Gainey has - maybe not the prettiest but I'd take his swing in a heartbeat. I recommend the Monday Qualifiers to everyone.

Also gives you some perspective of how tough the competition is when you have those kind of guys in Monday qualifiers.

Maybe some of our "I'm an 18 who has been playing for a year and my goal is to be Tiger Woods in 2 years" folks should attend one, LOL

Yeah, it's crazy really. To think that even if you had Rory playing, he probably wouldn't win a spot with 100+ others capable of playing 65 or lower. He'd be more likely to miss the cut than be in the top four, that is. What a tough road it is into the PGA Tour. I hope these qualifiers do well at Honda.

I think Siem and Ilonen are here for the WGC at Doral next week - Honda would have been a nice bonus.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.
