FrogginBullfish Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Definitely. Golf Channel article makes it sound like it was more debris from the strike that injured people rather than them being struck by the lightning itself.

It’s a disaster either way particularly since the event was originally contracted to be played in late September when the risk of this sort of weather would be minimal.The tour should flip its PGA venues to the tour championship and play the next several PGAs at East Lake.Of course that won’t happen - Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy tony@CIC 1 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy LOVE IT! That's honestly exactly what he has needed - his swagger. I saw him interviewed in preparation for the Open Championship where he was talking about setting the course record of 61 at Royal Port Rush as a 16 year old and he made the comment "I wish I had the confidence I did then" - what a statement. I just love seeing a player - any player - play to their potential. Rory is too good to feel anything other than swagger.
