We’ve had over 2” of rain since yesterday. They had to dramatically improve the course drainage during the remodel. There is no way the old course would have help up. Looks like they will get it all in by Sunday at this rate Pulling for Denny McCarthy a local kid who played HS golf just a few miles from Avenel. Also of course pulling for JDay as I’ve told the story many times about him and my pro am experience many years ago. Plus Chad Ramey as another media acquaintance played with him in the Pro Am. Said he was a great guy snd lot of fun Also pulling for Rickie and Wolfe of course. So many great stories IMG_7484.MOV Lots of wet areas for sure. I'd venture to say there aren't many courses that would even be playable after 2 inches of rain. Almost every shot off the deck is a splash... yuck. I personally hate playing in rain .

Us Marylanders are use to lousy spring weather, so it’s no big deal I’m kinda enjoying watching them deal with the rain and cold. We haven’t seen much I’d it in the British Open lately. It’s like 50 degrees here today with 15 to 20 mph winds.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I don’t know if anyone saw the early coverage. But on the 610 yard par 5 2nd hole. Many of them were having 195 to 205 in for their THIRD shot. Driver was going about 230 and their FW were going 185 to 195. I think it was Luke list who had the shortest in around 150 and he hit 7 iron.

The only times I've injured myself playing golf is playing in the rain; wrenched my back losing my footing on a swing, and broke my left ring finger on a punch out 4i when my grip slipped. Considering how little they pay me to play this game, no thanks.

It “let up” quite a bit from what it was when the first wave went out. Rory quietly sitting there at -2. Could he make it interesting tomorrow! Here’s the forecast for tomorrow. No rain expected. But I can tell you 50 degrees here with no sun and wind, will not be fun. But obviously the greens will be soft, so there could be some low rounds.

Headhammer Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I attended the Kemper Open when it was played here and I played it in the mid-nineties and was shocked that it was designated a TPC course. I believe it's been remodeled twice since then and watching it on TV it doesn't even resemble the same course.

Middler Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Though I'm neutral as a fan of Jason Day, it was very sad to see him collapse like that, I thought maybe he'd finally get another tour win after a 4 year drought - especially after his health and Mom challenges. Brutal weather, changes who's competitive and not, some players have experience with that kind of weather and some don't. I think today's DC forecast is still cold & breezy, but less rain if any. It's always sad to watch formerly great players who run into issues with their game - Day, Speith, Fowler, Schauffele, Fleetwood, etc. Some come out of it like Speith, others may not. fixyurdivot, Headhammer and Hobert 3 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 CB 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX923 HMP 4-GW, T22 54.12WS, T22 58.04DC w Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Midsize Evnroll EV5.3 Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Ecco Biom C4, Payntr X 001 F (Mesh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixyurdivot Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 This course and conditions are kicking the fields butts. Just at a glance, it appears well over half are at and will finish over par. And poor Aaron Baddeley... he was able to rack up more swings in 2 days than either Taylor Moore and Michael Thompson used in 4 days . The Tommy Fleetwood look just isn't working, I think Aaron seriously needs to cut the hair, maybe even a Koepka-like color change, and mix things up a bit .

Golfspy_CG2 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Great par on 11 for Max to take control. Although I think it took them 30 minutes to play that hole! If Rory couldn’t win, I definitely was in favor of a Homa win. He’s becoming much more known for his play now than his swing roasts on Twitter.
