The original Bushwood thread is overflowing like Craig Stadler's FUPA.

Use this thread to discuss tournaments, swing thoughts, equipment, and golf deals.

I thought we could also use the OP to create a WITB for ChiefsPlanet members. I'll list a poster's name and put their sticks in a spoiler tag, so you can see what everyone is carrying.

Yeah it's out of hand but Poulter is the guy who was twittering stuff at Tom Watson 2 years ago. And I'm sure after what Willet's brother did that some fans took it to another level and with crowds that large there are going to be some jackasses in the crowd. That said the Euro players have always been smarmy pricks and have never minded shoving it in our collective face when they win so sometimes you get what you play for. I hope we shut them up early today. USA USA USA USA!

Reed vs. Rory will be insane. The rest of the first half doesn't look great IMO for the US. I think all the matches from Moore through Kuchar look great for the US. I actually see Fitzpatrick beating Z Johnson so hopefully it doesn't come down to that.

Hopefully Spieth doesn't play like he did the last 27 holes yesterday. I don't see Holmes or Fowler winning. Phil hasn't looked great either. The US could easily have a very poor start.

Interesting strategy for the US, matching the guns with the guns.

If Reed keeps playing like he has been, that opening match should be amazing.

Reed vs McIlroy is amazing right now. And I don't care about them getting pumped. Both guys are doing it now and they're bumping fists with one another too. They are both cool with it.

Hell of a match. Reed played his ass off this week - so much fun to watch.

The ass kicking was great but I am so SICK of the stupid golf fans who heckle and scream baba booey. Kick em out.

Fun tournament. I like the chippiness of the Ryder Cup - brings added excitement to the game, which is nice on occasion. Wish there were more tourneys this style.

On a semi-related note, I really want to see a pro 2-man scramble, just to see what kind of numbers they'd put up.

Floatplane pilot lands in hot water at Ryder Cup
Small plane that put down on Lake Hazeltine Sunday was met by Chaska police.
By Pat Pheifer Star Tribune OCTOBER 2, 2016 — 8:20PM

Well, that wasn’t too smart.

A floatplane pilot and passenger apparently decided the best way to see the final matches of the Ryder Cup was to land on Lake Hazeltine and drop anchor adjacent of the 7th hole.

Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight wasn’t amused. A city ordinance, you see, prohibits any activity on the lake during the event. Ryder Cup security even includes an official from the FAA watching radar.

Knight described the incident, which happened about 2:30 p.m. Sunday:

A small plane was seen coming in low, then banked sharply and disappeared off radar, Knight said. That meant the plane had landed.

Police deployed a boat and headed to the plane. But the motor failed and the officers had to row the rest of the way, the chief said.

The pilot and passenger were brought to shore; the plane was left anchored in the lake. The two men were given citations.

“But there are more things looming in the pilot’s future,” Knight said. “The FAA Flight Standards division is very interested in him. He’s violated their rules and they will be talking to him on Monday.”

Knight called the pilot’s actions “imbecilic” and “stupid.”

“In this day and age, with all the things that I think even the most casual person is aware of in regards to security, threats and potential dangers ... to roll the dice and not even think there is potential for not having a mishap or getting our attention is beyond me,” the chief said.

The pilot and passenger are “afoot,” Knight said. The plane will stay where it is until the Ryder Cup is completely done.

Did the pilot know he’d made a mistake? “He claimed he didn’t, but I can’t imagine he didn’t.

Lake Hazeltine has no public access. All of the shoreline is privately owned, Knight said.

Two canoeists who arrived on the lake shortly after the plane landed also were cited by police. Earlier in the tournament, police had to ask two kayakers to leave the lake, too. On Wednesday, a helicopter flew “way too low” over the tournament. Officials were waiting for him when he landed “and he’s got some repercussions,” Knight said.

Knight said the interlopers were the biggest security problem police had to handle during the Ryder Cup.

“We weren’t expecting it but we had a plan and it worked,” he said.

Playing golf in 1974 in Bell Bottoms! With hair! Never had a real golf instructor at that point. A little tucked and over the top. I remember that shot it was low pull that played.

O.city · 03-24-2017, 03:07 PM

Anyone gotten the bug and started playing yet? I dusted off the trackman this morning. This is my last summer in my 20's (**** I'll be 30 in July) so I'm gonna try and play a lot. Going to northern Nebraska in August to play the Prairie Club for a week.

http://theprairieclub.com

Anyone have any experience there?

Gonna be a big golf summer for me. We're going to South Carolina for a family vacay in June, Hilton Head, etc. Then Pinehurst in July and Nebraska in August.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-24-2017, 05:21 PM

I've hit balls a few times so far. Spring break is next week, so I may get the chance to go out a few times.

I'm thinking about ordering some new wedges and a driving iron or 2H.

I have a 3-day clinic scheduled with PGA Professional and Former Long Drive Champion Monte Scheinblum in June, and am scheduled to go back to Erin Hills over 4th of July, which is the first week they are open to the public after the US Open.

Also hoping to hit Deere Run either right before or right after the John Deere Classic.
