First time I've seen someone hit the road hole bunker in the 2nd round. Leave it to Tiger. He's been doing a lot of stuff (none of it good) no one else has been doing.

Well, as long as we can not get it out of that bunker linke Tiger just did, I guess we need to hush and take a bow


Not too bad for Tiger. He beat Faldo by three shots.

Yup. That was a big par. Kept him in 147th place. Huge improvement this week from Chambers Bay. Definitely worthy of a bow.

I can't imagine what would be required if he made the cut...

Who was the golfer that was said to have lost 50 pounds in 6 months? Impressive.

The conditions seem alright now, can't wait til tomorrow and the birdie-fest.

Weather forecast looks to be some rain the next couple days. But no wind tomorrow. You'll see guys really go low, I think.

Monday's forecast actually looks a lot like Thursday's. Same wind direction and wind speeds, so I think you'll see some tough conditions coming down the stretch.


Hearing the golf yellers .....and I can't detect British accents when they yell "get in the hole!"

You ever hear British accents when rock stars like Mick Jagger or Roger Daltry yell on their songs?? Also, are we being rude by calling them British accents? Should we just be calling them "The" accent?

Oh well, I leave it. I will admit I am a big TW fan. He is playing bad, he knows it. I just don't get it why he is getting the sarcastic treatment. Nevermind.


Just saw that there's an amateur playing named Ashley Chesters....

Brits are too proper and respect the game too much to yell like these idiots do. They've got to be ugly Americans.

now that was funny !


NFL games have been called due to fog that golfers would play in. A Bears Eagles playoff game IIRC. Are you going to call them wusses too?

Rules are designed to create fair play in golf. If the ball cannot remain still on the green, they postpone play.


The Fog Bowl, as it was called, was played to its complication with no stoppage in play. Even though the fog was so bad you could not from one sideline to the other.

This weather discussion is just silly. Different games can tolerate different weather conditions.

Don't forget Football Hooliganism. The English variety of which is probably the worst. No propriety and respect there.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • First, it is on free TV. NBC is free to anyone with an antenna, and is on almost any TV in the U.S. with a minimal amount of effort. Charging "a bargain price" would be incredibly dumb. They charged $750 and the event sold out almost immediately. You could better argue they should have charged MORE, not less. What happens if you charge less: ticket scalpers buy up even more of the tickets because they see value: if tickets were $250, they'd clearly have sold for $1k or more on the secondary market. That's tremendous value. Fans would end up paying the same or more, or just not being able to go. Sure, a few who happened to be online at the precise moment on a fast connection and didn't fumble with their credit cards might have gotten tickets for $250, but the secondary market and ticket brokers would have scooped up the vast majority with automated processes and bots and scripts, then re-sold them later on. This way, fans get to purchase the tickets, and the PGA is earning that revenue, not the secondary ticket brokers. Econ 101. Supply and Demand. Nope.
    • Edit - the link has no title, but basically Tiger wants $5 million for each US player to “donate to charity”   They could put the Ryder Cup on free to air tv, and charge the fans a bargain price to get in.  If you have to  give the players $60 million, that’s why the tickets are $750.

    • P7TWs all day IMO. Especially because they're already fit for you. And it sounds like you have an interest in buying/selling so using the Vapor Pros would only decrease their value.
