I hope he breaks the record for PGA tour wins and most majors. I've always been a tiger fan.But he's now had multiple microdiscs (we don't know which levels) and 1 fusion. Then now another microdisc (has to be at least one additional level beyond the fusion). All within a few years?As someone with extensive spine experience, it would be a miracle if he can continue to compete with the best in the game with how thoroughly and quickly his back is breaking down. (Not to mention his knee history)
Based on your medical experience, is this a case where Tiger has to stop playing PGA level tournaments or is it a case where he can play tournaments with a compromised physical level of play?
Butler or Bust!!!!!!
I don't know what's going on at Butler now, but it was their discriminatory policies - and their robust defense of those policies - that led them to lose the Western Open. Maybe they've changed. I never got a chance to play Butler, but I have heard it's an amazing track.
Moving the PGA Championship to May effectively eliminates the upper midwest from hosting it.
A PGA Championship in the midwest in May would be fine. A PGA Championship on the shores of Lake Michigan in May could be really chilly.
It didn’t stop them from having the event at Bethpage in May. Of course that was already booked in the schedule . I think if the Ryder Cup goes well in September , a PGA is still possible at Whistling Straits in May. They may also now be on consideration for a US Open.
I agree it could be chilly. But would be any different than mid September ?
When is the last time you spent hours next to Lake Michigan in May? Particularly golfing?
The agronomy will not allow a PGA Championship at Whistling Straits again. I believe all contracts between the PGA and Kohler end with this Ryder Cup. On top of that, all PGA sites are scheduled through 2031. I don’t believe the USGA will choose to host the Open at any Kohler property, though. The only appealing thing about the Straits is how many people it can hold but the professionals tear it apart. If the wind isn’t blowing, it has no defense unless you pinch the fairways and grow the rough and fescue way up and then that takes away from what the course is supposed to be. Problem is, it’s not a true links course though it pretends to be.
Right. A links course allows for the ground game. WS does not. It is a beautiful lakeside course, like Arcadia Bluffs on the Michigan side.
Inexpensive golf and northwest michigan in the summer are mutually exclusive concepts.Check out Champion Hill. Mistwood is basic golf a bit of a drive from there. Manistee National. None are actually cheap.And if you have the money to spend for Arcadia, spend it.
Watching the comparative body language between Jessica Korda and Danielle Kang as they prepared to play the 18th hole the first time yesterday, it was obvious who was going to win. Jessica was singing along and bopping a little bit to the music they were playing. Danielle, who had seen her lead slip away, was very intense. I thought that Danielle might have a chance before the first playoff hole when I saw her talking on her phone walking to the tee for the playoff hole. She hit a good shot. But when Jessica dropped her birdie putt bomb, it was pretty obvious from the body language that Danielle was going to miss. She hit a decent putt, one that no one could really get upset about, but one that was never going in. Jessica clearly was enjoying the moment more than Danielle, even before the putt went in.
Yea, that’s fair enough. When I was younger I would always go to Pinecroft when I’m up there but since I’ve gotten a little better/more consistent I’ve tried to explore some new courses.May just have to bit the bullet for Arcadia.
Tower, any recommendations for courses in Northwest Michigan like Arcadia/Frankfort area.Gonna be up there in July. As much as I would love to play Arcadia Bluffs, don’t wanna spend $220 a round.
