Moving from the US Open in the northwest to New England.  We had some nasty weather yesterday in the area including a tornado warning.  The weather for the rest of the week looks pretty good.

Expert picks from pgatour.com.

http://www.pgatour.com/expert-picks/2015/06/23/travelers-championship.html

  1. Snedeker looked good in the US Open and seems to be improving.
  2. Will Billy Ho whine about these greens?
  3. Tony Finau got a lot of air time last week. Big hitter.
  4. Louis O is coming off a great final round.  Can he keep it up?
  5. Do you all have posting fatigue from the US Open thread?

Cool!  Thanks for posting.  Fenway is 11 miles south of me and the storm was south of that.  It looks menacing!

Does a course like the Traveler's try to be easier to attract a better field?

Man, I just can't get into this tournament and it's in the state I grew up in. After last week's event, this is quite a let down. Shut it off and cancelled taping the series after about 30 minutes. I find that is often the case after a particularly good major. Bring on the Scottish Open!

Yep, love that event and it's the lead-in to The Open so it pumps me up. (The British is my favorite major.)

True, true. I like following the Euro Tour but I don't really catch a lot due to the time difference and watching it recorded just isn't the same haha.

Good ol' Jerry! We know Jerry. We used to joke with him that his site should have been called "****afarmer.com".

      Day 172: mirror work for a while during SNF. Working on cleaning up the early backswing stuff. Definitely seeing the improvements I’m looking for.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By saevel25 ·

      OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?
