Golf Thread 2.0 - Zach Johnson hates you and your family

me too I watched this when I woke up

 

Was in Jacksonville this past weekend. Played both courses at the World Golf Village - Slammer and Squire and King & Bear. They were both fun and in decent shape.

On sunday we played Stadium Course at Sawgrass which was a legit bucket list item. A week after the Players was supposed to go, no foot traffic, etc. The course was pristine, the rough thicker than hell. \

I played out of my mind though. I hit 13 fairways, almost all with driver (we played a tee further back than I probably should have). One of the best experiences of my life.

I flushed my first ball on 17 clear over the back of the green, clubed down and landed to 15 feet. 2 putt for double.

Pics incoming

 

Those Gary Player commercials finally got someone

 

I really hope they are able to resume the tour at some point this year. This fucking sucks.

 

They weren't bad, and they are decently highly rated in terms of public courses available in Florida. Besides TPC, the courses you used to be able to get on in Jax are now private or resort only.

 

August National having some hard times with their collars right now.

Spoiler

 

The course I played yesterday and will play tonight put a piece of pvc pipe. I texted the GM of the place saying they should keep it permanently.

 

Not Augusta National. It’s the course next door that just sold the land to expand 13 at Augusta National for millions and millions.

 

Good deal. I was dumbfounded when I thought they weren’t walk spraying their greens.

 

Augusta Cancelled the Drive, Chip and Putt for 2020. But said anyone that had tickets to it will get tickets for next year. Lil Bishop should be up for it next year which is nice.

 

Is your kid a golf prodigy?

 

Hopefully.

 

Looks like the difficult to tag User 1 has a new avatar coming his way

 

November Masters sounds awesome.

 

would think PGA would want to take advantage of warmer September/October with Harding Park rather than aggressive timeline in July.

 

Thanks. Guess I’ll drunk order one this weekend

 

Head snapped off my 7 iron at the range today. That’s unfortunate timing.

 

Sunday at the Masters on the main TV with Redzone on the second TV could be pretty great.

 

not sure about total cost but ANGC for sure paid to redo at least three holes of their course in order to get the land from the #13 expansion. That was at the same time they were redoing Champions Retreat for the women's amateur.

 

We did too

 

Ours goes half way down. I actually like it better.

 

I loved the deep dive on Greg Norman that NLU did although Icarito left a lot to be desired as the lead research guy.

 

The Shotgun Start profile episodes have been good and I kinda feel like NLU stole their bit.

 

He’d phrase that in the form of a question with no context but yeah he was a sales guy at google.

 

Never heard of it. Who hosts that?

 

Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath

 

They've done deep bios of Monty, Hal Sutton, Pavin, and Duval

 

At this point, $49.99

 

Fuck it. I’d pay $100 right now for this shit.

 

Would be great if Youngscap had them up to the Sandhills or any other place that will never host a PGA event for that matter

 

Watching Big Break II and its hilarious to rewatch a younger, skinnier Kip go through these challenges. He and DD will be live tweeting the final match later

 

Should play at Grove XXIII

 

That would be BOR-ING

 

But I’d still buy it.

 

Dynamite stuff!

 

Both have been caddies on tour. Kip is better known for his Twitter account
