An honest question: Does ANYONE actually like Patrick Reed? Like does he have any fans..at all?

I like him any other weekend but this one. He's killing me in fantasy points. Really should have thrown him in there.

Aside from being overweight, he's exactly what I like to see in a golfer. Fiery, extremely competitive, speaks his mind.

He was absolutely fantastic at the Ryder Cup.

Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

Like ? No. But I don't mind him. I'd take one Patrick Reed over two dozen Jamie Lovemarks.

Crickets[/quote] Ok I'll bite. I like tourneys when Reed is in contention. He's compelling. Way better than many faceless guys without personality. When he's near the lead, the tourney is enhanced. I'll take him on our Ryder Cup side anytime. Guy has determination. He laughs at himself at times too. There was a classic "Shush" pic with the Euros after the Ryder Cup when he travelled to play Euro event later. Was a good sport. Am I a fan by those criteria?

Mickelson teed off at 4:33. He's just now teeing off on 18. El Pato must be going crazy.

Well they've all had really poor days, unfortunately.

When I was a young PGA apprentice member in 1970 at PGA Business School, a requirement for later PGA membership, we were told to be nice when playing tournaments in the outbacks of America. When a member asked you what you thought about your round in their corner of Heaven, tell them, "It's a sporty little layout." That's code for "someone really messed up a good goat ranch."

Such are my thoughts about this week's layout along the train tracks of Chambers Bay in Washington state. Chambers Bay really is a terrible version of a goat ranch in the Pacific Northwest. The goats must be chuckling.

Is this the most polarizing course of all time?

I'd really like to play it. It looks extremely difficult, but fun. The hole where the train goes beside the green is just an awesome view and tribute to that area.

Does anyone remember that Labyrinth game from years ago where you had this box with a board over which you had to guide a ball bearing through a field of holes by turning knobs that tilted the board the ball was on? That is what Chamber Bay reminds me of.

No.

I loved it when i played it. So many options on how to play it. Difficult but not over the top. Plenty of shorter tee boxes that makes it very playable. Its alot of fun. Visually stunning. But spendy...

Spieth could be leading this thing solo at the end of the day as tough as 17 and 18 are playing.

.....maybe not as Reed pulls off the hero shot at 16.

Keegan Bradley, Colin Montgomerie, Chris Kirk, Webb Simpson, and Brooks Koepka. Three of them need to bogey one of their last two holes for the cut to move to +5.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.

      Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
