2021 PGA

[Uncle Rico]

I live in Charlotte, a few hours north.

I had no idea. Haven’t priced them. Now I’ve priced one. They’re out of my league.

I always get my money’s worth of hacks, even on muni goat paths.

I’m doing Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, Lawsonia (36) and Erin Hills next month.  💸💸💸💸💸

It’s an indulgence for sure and my game won’t match up to those tracks but the experience alone will be worth it.

Kiawah is on my list of must plays even though I know it would kick my tail.

I really enjoyed SV.  Good tracks are generally fun for people at all levels Uncle R.

Agree 100%

I don't mind paying for the high end courses.   Just can't do it every week.

[MuggsyB]

Agree 100%

I came somewhat late to golf but can now play year round so have gotten to an above average level.  But even when I was a +15, and was lucky enough to play some "pro level" courses, I generally thought they were more fun.  Now of course the people you play with have a lot to do with your enjoyment but from my perspective the best courses are in the best condition, which helps all levels from all tee boxes.  I think it's worth splurging a few times a year to go to these venues.  Just being out there is fun.

Who ya got to slam the door on this Major?  I read the back 9 could be with the wind Sunday which would make the course considerably less stressful under pressure.  Anyhow....I'm not sure who to root for after Lefty?

[tower912]

If the wind stays down, one of the leaders is going to get to -8 or -9.   If it increases as the day goes on, -6 or 7 leads.    Somebody going out in the morning is going to shoot a 67 and throw themselves in the mix.

Maybe Woodland makes a move??

[MuggsyB]

Wow....Phil shoots a 32 on the front 9.  Did anyone see this coming?

[tower912]

I am feeling Phil coming back to the pack.  The noise in his head is getting louder. Koepka Phil final group tomorrow.

There doesn't appear to be a lot of birdies 13-18.  Terrible drive from Louie on 13. 

[MuggsyB]

Omg!!  Lefty did the same thing!!  WTH??

[tower912]

The leaderboard just got a lot interesting.

Yes.  DId Phil turn lobster red after that drive or am I seeing things?

[MuggsyB]

Wow....complete meltdown by Lefty.  Maybe you should give him a call Tower and calm him down?

[tower912]

50 year old nerves.  Playing like crap for two years except against other seniors.   There was no way this was ever going to be smooth.

Tournament is wide open tomorrow.   I think anyone E or better has a chance.  Lefty is still a magician with the flop shot.  I still can't figure out how he hits the bump and run with a 60 degree.

[tower912]

The only way someone at even wins is if there is no wind until about 4:00 EDT.   They get in with a 68 or so and watch the leaders melt in the wind.

[MuggsyB]

There will be no wind basically in the morning but at most it will get to 12-13 in the afternoon.  But apparently the wind will be coming the opposite direction.  I think there are several guys with the firepower to tear up the course early.  De Charcuterie is only 5 off the lead. 

[tower912]

I would be absolutely stunned if there was a 65 out there for a chaser.

Ya....I guess you're right.  No one seemed to be lighting it up with the putter.

[tower912]

With Stricker and Harrington tied, they should be paired up and put something on the side.    Like a free Captain's pick.   Or the loser has to wear the other team's colors on the first day.

Stricker can still swing it.  I watched him for about 20 mins at the University Ridge range.  It's beyond belief how good these guys are.  He was hitting targets like Rowsey shot free throws. 

[Herman Cain]

Mickelson got through three rounds with decent scores each day. He has the ability to shape shots in the wind, so I think he will be there at the end. Koepka and Oosthuizen also strike the ball so pure, so they are good wind players as well. I think the winner will come from one of these guys.

 

[tower912]

If Koepka or Louie could putt, they would be at -10.   Koepka the Borg gets it done.
