I did a lot of stuff in college that I hardly ever get to do now.

+1 I laughed really hard. My wife, not so much

Having 2 holes play at different pars from day to day is going to be strange.

Yep. I think they are playing with the tee boxes as well.

When they add a windmill to the green on 16 and they have to hit it in the dragon mouth on 12, then I'll be right there with you. Until then, I don't care care what the players think about it.

I'll say this. I'm not interested in hearing any whining. As screwy as the setups can be, they're the same for everybody.

The USGA can get too crazy with course setups sometimes, but I don't want to see our country's national championship winning score to be 13 shots under Par or more.

It's a straight up British Open, baked out, links setup this week. Just saw a video of a guy bouncing a golf ball on one of the fairways like a basketball. Looks like bad astroturf. Going to be really hard to control the run out.

I hope it eats Ian Poulter for lunch.

Phil is about to put a smooth 32 on the board for the front 9.

 

[shelbyvillevol]

I expect the course to play a lot tougher this afternoon than it has this morning.

Phil is about to put a smooth 32 on the board for the front 9.

And now all of a sudden he can't hit anything flush, even off the tee.

Just now seeing live coverage. I just don't get that golf course.

Tiger is painful to watch right now.

He looks awful.

What a horrible lie Day has on 15. Downhill in a trap, buried.

It's got 18 holes in the ground and the point is to get your little ball in in the slightly bigger hole by whacking it with a stick in as few whacks as possible.

I don't even understand why they're showing him right now. He's plus forty eleven, Flower is shooting a trillion and nobody gives a crap about Oosthaeiounsen.

 

[doozer]

Let my group hit from tees relative to our handicaps/fairness and I would almost guarantee we can shoot better than a combined +26.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Odds he'll pull out with an injury tomorrow before he officially misses the cut?

 

[volfanbill]

I'm watching the CWS, but have followed the scores. With his mental state and overall state of his game, this is exactly what I expected from Tiger. He honestly had no business trying to play this kind of course.

Tiger won't fold though. Can we stop making that post every week he plays bad?

Not for everybody.

It's an idiotic thing to keep saying.

 

[doozer]

Not for everybody.

I don't care.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Not really.

Can you imagine having to mow these greens?. You'd have to take a Dramamine before you started.
