@nevets88.....you were right about the Arnold Palmer tees. I asked in the merchandise building if they had any ..the lady just chuckled and said...’yeah no.’ Sorry.

Thanks @Vinsk! I appreciate the effort. They're sold on eBay. A ball and 10 tees for $15. Being that I'm actually gonna use these, forget about it. Planning on going to the craft shop, get some acrylic paint and make them myself, sans the umbrella on the top, that's too hard.

Win the Ryder Cup.

Play on differently conditioned courses.

LOL. So true.

Any situation where the ball cannot be flown in and stick on the putting surface seems to confound and frustrate most American players.

At Bay Hill, a good example is number 2 - the 231 yd (on fri) par 3.  Pin was on far left, behind/left of front bunker.  Many, many of the players hit amazing 5-irons and 4-irons into this hole - a very high draw that landed behind bunker as softly as humanly possible and then rolled off the back of the putting surface because it was HARD and FAST.  Some players hit out to the right side of the green with a draw and their balls tended to stick as well as move left leaving a reasonable 30 ft or less putt (albeit fast downhill but a better bet than out of the fringe/rough behind green).  Many of the Euros took the "boring" right-side-of-green approach. 

Add all those decisions up over the course of 72 holes and the difference is noticeable.

Basically better course management from the Euros against this week course conditions.

Merch tent was a disappointment this year. 

When I see "A Fanatics experience" at any event I sigh. Still got my UA polo from a couple years ago at least.

How are people shot tracing their videos so quickly? I'm guessing there's an app and you tell it where the ball went. Or is this a video of a stream?

It's an app.
