RoverRick Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I love it. First, let's keep this right here in the schedule. Coinciding with the March Madness of the NCAA, we have PGA's version of March Madness. Second, let's take the top 64 players, make a round robin style 3 day playoff, which I think is much better than before, and put them on a long course with 3/4 600+ par 5's and 220+ yard par 3's and nearly 500 yard par 4's, with forced carries, lots of water, lots of trees, and 'oh what the heck', let's put is in Texas in March where we will have a 30 mph wind just to spice things up. Yep, this is the PGA's March Madness Tournament and who knows who will win.

Kenny B Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Is that a green on the other side of the river?? “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverRick Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Is that a green on the other side of the river?? The pic with the bridge in it? No. But that is holes 2-6 with water and wind. Unless they reverse the order.

Peterpc2828 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Format is good and bad, more for TV ratings than anything, some guys who lost both rounds have to play today with 0.0 chance of playing weekend. I'm guessing it will be revised once again next year. Bracket selection broadcast was a good addition this year.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app That's true but having a guaranteed 3 rounds also get some of the best players in the world to play. 5-6 years ago half of the top 20 didn't play. This way the top players win or lose get 3 rounds of pressure tournament golf, whereas before you would get 1 round and done, that's a lot of travel time and money shelled out for only one guaranteed round, the new way makes it worth their time to come, every other tourney only offers 2 guaranteed rounds.

revkev Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Alright so just watched Billy Horschel' Fire his ball over hand as hard as he could onto the green about six feet from the hole. I honestly think that should bring a DQ. He intentionally altered the conditions of play for othe golfers. Not good!
