Concession prices have been debated elsewhere.   Apparently, the answer to high concession prices is to have Meijer be the title sponsor of your golf tournament.
$1 bottles of water and cans of pop.  And chips, cookies, fruit.
$2 hot dogs
$3 brats/Italian sausage
$4 hamburgers
$3 Miller Lite/Coors light, etc
$4 Oberon, Two Hearted, Modelos, White Claw, etc.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun at the event

I did.  But I don't drink enough to really appreciate those beer prices.  3 diet Pepsi's, 2 bottle of water.

Rory whiffs a chip on Thursday.  Rory loses by a shot on Sunday.

I'm thinking about going down to Pebble to on July 6th to watch the women's 2nd rd. 

[tower912]

You absolutely should.

I'm thinking about going down to Pebble to on July 6th to watch the women's 2nd rd.

Highly recommend it.  Pebble is a fantastic walk and there are many great spots to watch the action. 

Everyone hits 6, 7, 17 and 18.  Behind the green at 11 is an underrated spot.  Small green that's hard to hit and requires a lot of imagination to save par if you miss.

Green by 3 is a good spot, too.  Depending where the tee box is, the shot is blind and you'll see a lot of interesting approach shots. 

8th, 9th and 14th fairways are good, too

[MuggsyB]

You absolutely should.

I guess it's the 7th.  Anyway I hope I can pull it off.

  surprises me  the players take such risks approaching their ball in these situations.  they showed rahm at #16 playing touchy-feeling with his wedge when the ball clearly moved and was penalized after the fact. 

there was another situation, forget who it involved.  was taking a drop on an embankment.  the ball had trouble holding it's position.  when it finely held, but very perilously, the player, it might have been wyndham, kept jagging around the ball, looking at it's position with respect to club, walking around it, etc etc   i wouldn't be anywhere near the thing until i was ready to hit it
