I'm for Gainey, who wears 2 gloves.  Same as me, maybe for different reasons though. Everyone else....yawnnnnnnnnnnnnn.


I'm not sure I can think of a PGA player who has a more Ugly swing than Gainey. Before you crucify me, my swing is not exactly PGA material, just sayin.

I like Brooks Koepka and all, and I don't say this much, but this is has to be one of...if not the most lackluster leaderboard of the year. Villegas had a great round, but he doesn't do much for me. Here's to hoping the cream (Phil, Horschel, maybe even Luke Donald) rises a bit.

haha I was thinking the same thing. I've got to find other things to do this weekend.

This is kinda what I'm afraid of next week. A lot of the big names are not coming in to the Open on good form. I think you're going to see a lot of "no names" in contention next week, especially given a course that not a lot of people know much about. Could be an odd week.

The most lackluster leaderboard of the year so far, for sure.

Since this is my home town event it's always one I look forward to every year. Too bad it has never had a decent enough date to attract more top name players. It seems that there are fewer "names" here this year than usual. Maybe more players decided to get to Chambers Bay earlier since that course is such an unknown to most of them.

From Arjun Atwals caddie on facebook...

"Gonna be a fun weekend at St Jude. Been a wild week so far. Rental Car stolen Sunday in broad daylight from hotel parking lot. Clubs included. Ping guys worked to get a set put together. Gave us Hunter Mahans backup set for Monday and things didn't go too well. New set built on Tuesday, new bag flown in, his wife sent the back up putter that arrived Thursday at noon. After 65 yesterday here for the weekend. Tune in today and tomorrow. It's been a hell of a ride this week so far. These are the stories you read about."

Was concerned of not hearing about Gainey (2 gloves) on the leaderboard so i checked out the PGA website.  Won't be retuning there anytime soon.  Very bad IMO.  Front page leaderboard does not even give scores, only miles behind. I'm not so good at arithmetic so don't need to do the math, but would like to see it Gainey, or anyone, shot 71, 76 or 83; not 7, 12 or 25 behind.

And it's good that FedEx has deep pockets coz this tourney is on it's way out.

just an example of how the tour schedule is over saturated with tournaments.....I always believed there should be breaks in the schedule to give key players a rest and increase the quality of the tournaments on the schedule.......Oct to Oct schedule is too long.

As long as the name ST.JUDE is associated with it. This tournament is going to be around for as long as they want it to. The money that is raised for the kids and the hospital. Gives the PGA public relation dept a big ole pat on the back.

Seems to me that if a player, "key" or otherwise, wants a rest, they can take off as often or as long as they like. I don't understand those who think a leaderboard is only interesting if the usual suspects are at the top. I enjoy watching a new player or two break through.

In David's bag....

Driver: Titleist 910 D-3;  9.5* Diamana Kai'li
3-Wood: Titleist 910F;  15* Diamana Kai'li

Irons: Titleist 695cb 5-Pw
Wedges: Scratch 51-11 TNC grind, Vokey SM-5's;  56-14 F grind and 60-11 K grind
Putter: Scotty Cameron Kombi S
Ball: ProV1

Agree with this post. Nobody says a player has to play, they can take breaks as long as they like. As for the leaderboard, for me watching golf is also about the pressure on the players at the top to win, and hopefully see an open tournament until the last hole. Of course it is nice to see the best players in the world, but there is more to golf than that.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
