fixyurdivot Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm a bit surprised that fans are being allowed in; though perhaps it is on a very limited capacity (cannot find specifics on that)? In any case, I doubt this years event will have anywhere near the typical party atmosphere we've come to expect. Since we're only a 2-1/2 hour drive away, I had thought about attending either R1 or R2, but given the C19 numbers, no way. Event #2 in our MGS Fantasy League... who ya got? Will my anchorman Webb repeat? Will it be someone's first ever PGA Tour win? Who will be sporting the most talked about fashion choice?

Kenny B Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Rahm is likely the favorite being the home town kid, but I'm picking JT for no other reason than he will be fresh since he didn't get beat up last weekend at Torrey Pines.

revkev Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I’m liking Rahm - won’t be the same without all the fans. Definitely a fan dependent tournament. I’ve seen some Euro tour events with fans, the Super Bowl will have limited fans - it’s time to allow a limited number on site IMO.That can be done safely very easily - safer than going to Sam’s or Costco for certain Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Rickp, BIG STU, tony@CIC and 1 other 4 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...

Sure it was fun to go to when I was younger and wasn't as serious about the game.. and that's exactly who it caters to here.. people who really don't care about the game but just want to party and get sloshed.
