Irish Open or the Byron Nelson

[RJH999]

Byron Nelson, due to time conflicts. (I'm not waking up at goddamn 6 in the morning to watch golf.)

[FaldosEgo]

Ian Poulter has withdrawn from the Nelson with a case of butthurt.

If only there were some way to save a televised event to watch later in the day...... ;-) Just screwin' with you. I really don't like watching taped sports either. With few exceptions, if I can't watch it live, I won't watch it. :beer:

[Mr. Desmond]

Wonder how many players want a redo on their choice of venue?

Let's see, cold, bleary and suffering at the Irish Open.

or

80 degrees and balmy with potential thunderstorms at the Nelson

At least Rory would not have gone 9 over on the first day.... at the Nelson. But Rory, hand it to him, was dedicated to this event for home and charity. Good on Rory.

[ChrisP]

Yeah Rory has to be feeling sick. Sounded like he really wanted to play well in front of the Irish fans. He's never been one to play well in bad weather though. Remember the 80 at St Andrews. I think he has a hard time adjusting with the putter in the wind. Sure looked that way today.

I will take 55* over 80* any day of the week. Let's see, play best course in the world or a mediocre Texas track...

I would too, but I am not playing for money, and these guys can get on that course any time.

At to the Los Colinas Four Seasons, heck, it is worse than mediocre as a par 70 for pros, although DA Weibring did improve it.

(But  the good news -- it is moving just south of downtown Dallas to a brand new Crenshaw-Coors links-style (style being the key word) layout after about 2? years)

Irish Open looked worse than 55 this morning -- ski caps and storm wear.

[Mr. Desmond]

Always enjoy an event in Ireland or Scotland as I list out my golf "to play" list.

[Natural Patrick]

Wonder why ESPN's Golf site leaderboard does not have Rory's score posted? His name is not even in the field ?

[Wally Fairway]

not sure which thread is the correct one for this . . . but here is a tweet from No Laying Up

[J Cream]

Honestly, the four Texas tournaments are some of my least favorite events of the year.  The emergence of Speith may make them a little more interesting.  But this week, I think picturesque RCD trumps soggy muddy Four Seasons.  Go Rickie.

Weir lasted about 15 minutes.... nolayup prematurely tweeted...

[Mr. Desmond]

Just started pouring down near DFW Airport again -- high winds with rain.  This is the second wave of rain to hit this morning. May delay things a bit today, depending on whether this cell hit Los Colinas (about 25 minutes away a bit south and east).

Isn't there talk that they won't even play today? Might have to get two rounds in tomorrow.

Haven't heard.

Looking at radar, we (and Los Colinas included) are getting the worst of it now. The front is to the west and is not a wide line. Not much south of us or it looks weak. This may dissipate soon.

Still, the ground is saturated so any accumulation will be difficult to move.

Good to know!

[Gunther]

They're delayed but they'll get it in today. 2 comments: 1. Amazing that Colonial and Nelson are getting 18 holes in each day with the amount of rain we've had here. Most courses in the area have been closed 5,6, 10 days this month. If you don't live here, I'm not sure you can picture exactly what we're dealing with. More rain this month than all last year, crazy. Kudos to the staff at both events. 2. Jordan Spieth is g'damn something special. Can't believe he's up in the top 10 again. I don't know if he's just on a 7 month long hot streak or if this is going to be his norm for the next 20 years. If the latter, look out Jack.

He played pretty piss-poor at the Players. But yeah other than that, this kid is on an incredible roll.

He's destroying the PGA Tour money list.
