Whatever it is you can be sure it's a candidate for Blane if he doesn't win.

 

Clubs, fiancées, caddies, balls, are we sensing a pattern?

 

In his defense people have laid ridiculous expectations on him. He needs to put his ear plugs in and be patient. Let his talent do the talking.

 

How about that golf course? I see so much Tom Fazio in the make over. Great course! Good shots rewarded, bad shots make you work.

This course is spectacular, one day I may get an opportunity to play there. They have the greens running at impossible speeds right now. If you off with your speed just a little bit, it makes you pay, if you get above the hole and have down hill putts all day, you cannot even attempt to make them, this course punishes any poor shot. It's good to see them struggle. By the way, he course I play every week is set up similar to this, thick Bermuda rough, hard fast greens, the difference is that we do keep the geeens playable, run at around 10, versus Quail, which look to be around 12-13. I have played greens that fast, and they ain't no joke. It's all about speed and grain with these things. You can see already that some of them are fooled by the grain. It looks to break to the left, but the grain is to the right so the ball goes straight, and will likely go right as it slows down. I love watching them strugggle on the greens, makes me feel pretty good that I'm not the only one who reads the green incorrectly.

My course is also set up with thick Bermuda and firm greens - 10.5 is the goal. That's plenty fast enough.

 

Thankfully we don't have any 500 yard par 4's though. :).

This looks so familiar. I'm glad these run offs get to the Pros too.

 

 

 

Here's the false front on 7. A Fazio favorite. That's a front pin. Anything short of it is coming off the green and anything past it works left and towards the back of the green.

Exactly Rev, I think the only time we have had our greens up around 11-12 stump is for club championship, and I 4 putted a couple times.

I used to have the job of holding down the goats when Dad was giving them their worn pills. Big long pills that he had to ease down their throat while I held them the best I could. I had some pretty good goat moves back in my day that would make this Pampling guy blush.

I am NOT pulling for Spieth because he elected not to play in Arnold's invitational.

Of all the tournaments he should have played that was the one he should have played.What Arnold did for these spoiled whippersnappers. The year Arnold died should have been a no brainer.

I hope they do not invite him or the others who did not play.

Jordan Speith just doesn't have the right touch this week. I was hoping all the big guns would make a run this week but just wishful thinking. Hideki is hot and may break into the major circle.

Hidecki just goes about his business. Seems to be a cool customer but I'm sure he gets just as nervous as anyone.

Just got home turned on TV Kisner & Stroud tied, who saw that coming?

 

Side note; Red Sox ahead 10-3 over Yankee's.

I'm probably the only one who cares

It's nice hearing the announcers talk about how hard and fast the greens are, and how the Bermuda rough is really tough. How driving the ball in the fairway is imperative. Well, these are the conditions that I play every week. Hard, fast greens, and tough Bermuda rough, if you've never had the pleasure of being in deep Bermuda rough, you should feel lucky, but hopefully it's not sitting up just a bit, because then you get the flyer where you hit your 7 iron 230 yards in the air. Some of these guys are very good at judging those lies, but if you guess wrong you get the heavy fat shot where your 7 iron only goes 100 yards. Look for these kind of shots as you watch this week.

As I was reading 7 iron 230, I was thinking or 100. I'm pretty good at reading lies in Bermuda but you still have to commit and hit the shot.

 

I'm truly enjoying what I've seen also. Same architect, same grasses, similar conditions, it's fun.

 

The course is rewarding solid shots and making it difficult on those who hit marginal ones.

Jsaon day found out all about the deep rough on 18, after a really bad decision, and 3 shots later, he had a horrendous lie in that rough he managed to hack it about 30 yards, right before he finished with an 8.

A buddy offered a ticket for Sunday, so we are heading out there at about 9, and plan to close the place down.

Let me know if you can grab me one of those towels I'll cover all of the costs of course!

Poulter got a bit hot under the collar. Not sure how all those people missed the ball location.

Are they allowed to consult TV cameras to figure out where the ball went?

Hey, if you're on a tee box, please yell "Golf Spy Rocks!!!!!" right after someone hits. If I can hear it on TV, I'll record it and post it here.

Right on. My wife and I were happy to see her also do the announcement. She's always been a class act in CT and a great representative for the PGA.
