I grew up down there and this is the only time of year I miss that place. But it makes me really miss it.

I hate to admit this but . . . I turned down tickets for today because I was out of town earlier this week and I'm going over to the Heritage next week. :wacko:

If you have some extra time, you ought to head down there for a few minutes. It's nothing but a big, ratty looking wharehouse and it's hit or miss in there depending on what they happen to have in stock, but they have just about everything in there and some of the deals can be pretty good. It's right off I-20 where the Bobby Jones Expressway starts.

It's not crazy talk when you have access to a condo inside Sea Pines and know somebody with a boat docked in Harbor Town. Augusta National is a pure spectacle, but I can't walk off the 18th of Augusta and be sitting on a boat sipping a beverage on a boat in 60 seconds like I can at the Heritage. :dance:

slightly redeeming, but Augusta National is AN.

Actually, Harbor Town is one of my favorite places to play. Love the tiny greens, especially 17 in the breeze off the sound.

I played Harbor Town for the first time last fall. They had the pin set way left where only an idiot would fire at it . . . so I aimed for it and hit what looked like a great draw right at the flag and the ball got out about 100 yards and reacted like a ping pong ball flying at a giant fan. There was no wind on the tee, but at the green it was going sideways about 25 mph. The 18th was dead into the wind and was effectively unplayable.

BPV all Rose did was give me the death card for my pick. I still think he'll finish in the top 5, but he can't lead the first day and win the whole thing.

he didn't hit it great, but he putted lights out.

tiger wasn't too great either, although it seems imminent he's going to just play better as the week progresses. Rose needs a 3 under day or better just to put pressure on anyone.

And Doozer, i truly feel this is the year he doesn't collapse. PJ (i think), his 74 average is ballooned by an 81 he fired in round 3 of the 2003 or 2004 event. Not a very accurate reading on his overall play.

everyone else's problem that Tiger probably just played his worst possible round and is only down 4.

And for the record, the course played relatively short today. Tees were generally up on every hole.

Guy that hit it exceptionally well on the range was Retief. He was supposed to have been struggling, but he flat hit it yesterday. We'll see about tomorrow.

What is Els score as of this morning?

Els at +2.

Cut moves around depending upon the course and Masters has a smaller cut than most, unless the 10 shot rule comes into play. Looks like it will be +4 or +5 this year, unless -4 remains the low score today.
