Well, yeah, it is the top guys in the Fedex cup haha.

I am very interested to watch this weekend having played the course last summer. Its always better when you know what the holes look like in person.

I missed a few years of following closely -- when did Bethpage replace Liberty National for the opening leg of the playoffs?

It hasn't. The Barclays rotates every year between Ridgewood, Liberty National, Plainfield, and Bethpage. It's Bethpage's turn in the order.

Thank you!  I have (clearly) not been following it closely enough lately.

Bookmarked the ticket purchase page and keep going to it with the intention to buy and life just keeps happening to me. And the weather is nice now too. Next year I guess. And the courses won't be open to the public for play until September if you're wondering when you can play. See you... in September. $65 for a practice day. Pfffft.

I wonder if they use one of the courses as the driving range. From what I can recall, there is no way tour pros are hitting on the range normally used for the public. That thing was barely long enough for my 5 iron when I was there.

The regular range is cr@p. IIRC, they use the Yellow course's first hole.

I'd **really** love to go to this but I'm not sure I'd be able to.

$65 or a practice round?  How much is a weekend ticket?

he must have hit the fairway. I got caught in the right rough and was 185 out....which took 2 shots to get on the green, because you cant hit much more than an 8 iron out of that stuff.

When I played it I had a 5-iron from the left rough but an insanely good lie so I was able to get it to the green (and 3-putt, of course). 

But yeah, if you're not sitting up like I was, that's some of the thickest rough on the golf course.

I've watched the pros play a few other courses I've played in real life, but it's always a bit wild to see with the grandstands set up.

Usually they will say the current years champs, Masters, US Open, Open and PGA. But they have been inconsistent this year.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • 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. 
    • 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.
