So it this sucker gonna be on Golf Channel or ESPN?

That would be COOL! For now, I think it's just:

For those who are not good at the internets (and if there's interest), I may post scoreboard updates from what I've gathered through social media above. No promises, but I would post here on this thread, if I am able to.

Below is the "scoreboard" we have tentatively worked out for now.

I don't want to interfere in their event in any way, so if they shut the idea of periodic scoreboard updates down, I'd get that they had reasons to.

I'll be VERY leery of posting bogus info, so if it gets confusing with the status and I lose track of the tweets, I'll let everyone know and not post any scores. I really don't want to inadvertently impact their on-course strategy if they somehow get bogus scoreboard update from me!!!!

I'm also not looking to steal anyone's thunder, so if the Newport Cup teams prefer to have one daily summary with a scoreboard, I'd respect that too.

The thought was that posting here periodically might garner more excitement. Might also be fun to review at the end to see snapshots of where the competition stood.

Periscope? It's not just iOS now, you can view on a desktop browser (not sure about mobile.) Or post vids to Instagram/Twitter. Or I guess could just look on Game Golf.

If any of ya'll have a water shot, it is required that you video and post it. :-D

Not to nitpick, but if we were to assume the top of the page was north, wouldn't it make sense to put West and east on there proper compass positions?

The West is hosting. It's customary to list the home team second.

Every one of our sponsors has been incredibly generous, especially Pure and Ping for inviting us to spend time with them. It's been an exciting day, and we haven't even hit a shot in competition yet.

We started the day with a visit to the Pure Company. I had taken photos, but they are somewhere lost on my SD card. Hopefully, I will find them. Anyway the visit was a pleasure. We spoke with the design engineer and learned the process to develop grips. We then toured the facility, and watched the process of Pure grips being made. Pure was gracious to re-grip everyone's clubs while we were there. Many thanks to Erik, Mike and Pure Company for the tour and products. Hopefully photos to follow when found. Club Rat

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that. 
    • Day 2: Speed training session
    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
