$10 they both don't finish in the top ten

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Thinking about going on Friday. Never been there, any tips on which hole/area to camp out at for the entire day?

Have zero interest in following one specific golfer, just want a nice view of the green somewhere.

wait...sounds like i should be getting a little more than your $10.  if i lay $10 on that line, shouldn't it be worth ? mius the juice of course   seems as though jordie is starting to get it a little.  his competitive nature isn't going to allow him to finish the season the way he started it

I was there on the Sunday. Ended the worst live sports week of my life of events as the previous Monday I was in Seattle at the Fail Mary game. Oooofff....had to sit on the some frozen peas after this week.

[rocket surgeon]

Ok, here's my lineup- spieth Fowler reed schaffele  keegan and harry v

Not off to a bad start  but need Harry to play spoiler. Only 6% took him. Patrick made some unbelievable up and down saves. Keegan gotta show us some 2018 magic. Rickie's babe either got to leave him alone for the night or wash the dimples off his pro v's.  Xander will be Xander

With the lightning strike to the hotel where several of the players and officials were staying..... what would have happened if JT had been unable to make his tee time due to his clubs and clothes being inaccessible due to fire?     Phil tweeted quite a bit about it, but JT was staying there, too.     That would have been both awesome and terrible.

Eaglewood, the hotel where this happened, is where my wife and I stayed the night of our wedding. Knowing that hotel, Mickelson was in the room my wife and I had, it's the only room on the top floor.

And they say that lightening doesn't strike twice in the same place...

I went Sunday and had a very nice viewing experience.  Prior US opens, Westerns and PGA's I had mixed up following a group with staying in one spot for a while.  This time I was in a corp hospitality tent on the 13th green.  245 yard par 3 that was playing 255 with the pin all the way in the back.  We grabbed first row right behind the flag - 10 yards away.  We watched every 3some come through, and we saw some great shot making - difficult pitches from close in rough and lots of bunker shots.  Best group was the last group, with 2 birdies and Finau the closest rimming his put out.  Only one ball in the water all day. Most interesting observation was that until the last group, everyone mis-read the break of one particular putt—probably 20 guys failed to see the extent of the break.

Should Tiger pick himself for the President's cup?

Should Tiger pick himself for the President's cup?

Nah. I don't think he wants to play. TV on the other hand....

[tower912]

Agreed.   He hasn't done anything since April and he doesn't seem healthy.   I think he is too competitive to make himself the spectacle and possibly hurt the team with poor play.

[Herman Cain]

Should Tiger pick himself for the President's cup?

I am a big fan of Tiger. However, no I do not think he should pick himself for Presidents cup. Better to preserve the limited number of swings he has in his career for the majors and other key events he chooses to play.

If you are at an event, and they tell you to take cover from the weather, listen.    I hope and pray the initial reports are accurate and none of the injuries are life threatening.     

[rocket surgeon]

we were at sentry world a few years ago when they blew off the weather horns as a storm was approaching.  we could see it on our phone apps.  even after it had passed, they would not let anyone back out on the course until their lightning strike detector showed all was clear.  maybe someone knows what the standard is, but it had to do with lightning strikes within a certain radius of the course

yes yes yes to what tower said-despite what they say about the 2 iron thing

[jesmu84]

Tiger announced he just had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

Poor dude. Body giving up on him.

Maybee da steroids didn't sit well on his soft tissues, hey?

Not sure if you're joking or not ... but this actually could be what's happening.

I covered the 1991 U.S. Open at Hazeltine, where a half-dozen or so people were struck by lightning and one guy was killed. Bleachers collapsed, hurting many, and there was a mini-stampede of people trying to escape the storms, hurting others.

It was a nasty scene, and I've been a lot less brave in lightning storms ever since.

100% what is happening.  Its been the source of the majority of his injuries ever since they started popping up.

Between the early male pattern baldness and the connective tissue injuries, one could form a hypothesis.
