2017 Greenbrier Classic Discussion Thread

[mcanadiens]

Best of luck today to Kenton Ridge's Clayton Portz. A Monday qualifier, Clayton is making his PGA Tour debut this morning at 9 a.m. A member of Kenton Ridge's 2011 state championship team, Clayton cut his teeth on Springfield's Synder Park and Reid Park courses before playing college golf at Northern Kentucky University. 

There was a very nice story in the Springfield and Dayton papers.

Phil knocking people in the head w/a golf ball again. 

The guy that got hit was getting checked out: "do you know where you are?"  "I know I'm at the Greenbrier and I just shook Phil Mickelson's hand and he gave me this glove."

Bit of a rough day for young Mr. Portz. Six bogeys and two doubles for a 78. 

Learning experience I'm sure.

I suppose this is over my head.

Oh yeah. I remember seeing that now. Like I said over my head.

Do they keep records on spectators plunked? Phil's got to be way up there.

What will be just as interesting to me is not just how well the resort, but the Greenbrier Valley as a whole, recovered after last year's devastating storms and floods.

[dennyjones]

The water damage was devastating.  I remember seeing water well over 8' deep.   They have done an amazing job of restoring the facility.

Someone needs to shut up Gary McCord. Total cretin.
