Funny, I was looking down this leaderboard and it was like.......wow, this guy is still playing (Len Mattiece)....wow, I thought that guy teaches now (Stan Utley).....wow, that guy is still alive (Guy Boros).....wow, how is a guy with that much talent not in the Open (Andreas Romero).....

Love following these tourneys, as you know these guys are just chomping to have "that" kind of week.....

Guy Boros alive? I think you are remembering his dad - Julius Boros (18 PGA wins, WGHoF member)

Julius passed away in 1994 (per wiki)

Players play, tough players win!

True, they are not playing in the Open. To call them scrubs though, makes you sound like a bit of a dip shit. Care to share your golf resume with us. I have no doubt its every bit as impressive as those players you have listed.

I once started a round with 4 straight holes in one. I once shot a round of 16. I once made a one on the 18th of St. Andrews. I once putted a ball 234 yards. I once sectionally qualified for The Masters. Uh, I be speakin' swaghili. Bruh.

Way to hot in Alabama right now.  From a friend who lives in the area, over 100 heat index, no fans in attendance, and they cannot get any volunteers.

Alabama, Georgia, Florida - Take your pick, it sucks down here From May 15th - September 15th. Unless you live near the water you can expect a heat index of 95 everyday. Wake up and there is moisture on the house windows. Sticky, slimy..... Especially for those out of shape.

Most up north that don't come to Florida in the summer don't get it... They see a temp of 91 vs there 98 and think it is better hear... The Humidity inland is off the charts. Once your 4 miles inlad from the ocean it does not make a difference how far off the ocean you are, all the same. Swamp weather and it sucks...

We can relate in Erie, PA. I lived in southern Florida too… it is just as humid or more so here. Just usually not as hot.
