Shankster Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The price is Wrong... Bob. Another weird event, I really enjoy the views on this one. I’m thinking a sleeper will win this one. Someone maybe on the verge of breaking through. What’s your take? bens197, Rickp, revkev and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngwaldo Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Great scenic course for TV. Played it numerous years ago and wasnt worth the price and now I heard the price is 575 to play. I guess if you can get it why not. I liked Spanish bay and Poppy better. Wk Shankster and tony@CIC 2 Quote Always tinkering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. 82 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I might watch some on Thursday, and maybe a bit on Sunday, as my schedule permits. But Friday and Saturdays I am on the golf course. Thursday is easy, because I can watch while at work, but I have better things to do then watch Bill Murray age horribly and do the same tired act every year that people seem to still love. I did like his redo of Groundhog Day in the Jeep commercial during the Super Bowl, but his act is old and lame during a golf tournament. To each his own. tony@CIC and fixyurdivot 2 Quote G400 Driver XR 4 Fairway 16.5° Fli-Hi Utility Iron - 21° G Series 5-9 irons SM7 46°, 50°, 54° & 58° Ghost Spider S putter Nexus Laser Rangefinder Garmin Approach S20 GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Sunday is not a bad watch. Many of the ams are gone, and the ones that are left stay out of the way.

revkev Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Used to always be one of my favorite events because it was normally the first one that the big name players came out for (in the 60's and 70's) and the course was beautiful to see from the warmth of my wintery living room childhood lair. Now its one of my least favorite if not my absolute least favorite - not enough golf shown, not as many big names playing and I live in a place with better weather - I have a 1:30 tee time on Sunday afternoon - can't wait for that. tony@CIC and Rickp 2 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...
