Here's another bracket you can fill in in March. The big three are in the field although it's match play. Watson, DJ, Mickelson and Fowler too.

So excited this is happening in Austin. What little I've seen of the track so far has been impressive.  My son is going to have his party boat anchored near one of the holes on Sat, maybe Sun too (he couldn't care less about pro golf although he does think Joran and Rickie are pretty cool).  Should be a rip-roaring week, wish I could get down there for it.

As for a pick:  I'd be hard-pressed to go outside the top 10 because most of them are on form right now.

I took Rickie beating out Jason Day. My wild pick is Daniel Berger beating Phil to advance from his group.

Besides the majors and the players this is one of my favorite tournaments to watch.  I wish I wasn't going out of town this weekend so I'd have more time to watch it.

I filled out the damn bracket 5 different times and it still won't fricken save. How annoying. Guess I won't be winning the laptop... I had it all figured out too...

Battle between @pgatour and @europeantour Twitter accounts, who posts better videos. 

PGA Tour - this is lame. European Tour 1 : PGA Tour 0

Boy, Day really looked bad after hurting himself out there. 

This course looks really interesting from what I'm seeing so far. They're not showing a ton of overheads of the holes, which is dumb considering this is a new course. From my limited view, it looks like a course that would be a lot of fun to play.

Man Phil is putting a beating on Fitzpatrick. Ill let Rickie pass on losing to Duffner considering he birdied the last 2 holes for the win.

Only A player who lost so far is DJ, I think, but don't think Day is coming back out tomorrow.  

Really cool place, I've seen it from the lake but this coverage has given me a completely new perspective.  Agree on missing the overhead shots, maybe the blimp will make it to town over the weekend.  Sure would like to play it sometime.  Hope my kid somehow bumps into Michael Dell or McConaghey and befriends them.

I think Day should back out of this thing or at least maybe concede today's match and then go for it tomorrow. Tiger will be the first to tell you not to mess around with back injuries.

This is the one reason I don't think Day is ever going to make it to the level Spieth and McIlroy will as their careers go on. I think he's a great talent when at the top of his game, but I just think injuries are going to be an issue his whole career. It has been so far. It's too bad.

Spieth/Dubuisson, ZJ/Kaymer, Day/Thongchai, Kisner/Bello - pretty amazing that there are only 4 matchups of yesterdays winners

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
