Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

I've never been a TM guy. Part of that has to due with the fact that they churn out their equipment so frequently that they make few to no changes and destroy the resale value of their old sets.

That's the only reason I'm contemplating sticking with my Ping's and selling these.

But Christ, I can sell my G5's on Ebay for $300. Downside is that the R9's with be worth that the minute I game them, so I'd have to commit to them for the long haul.

If the US ends up winning the cup, it'll likely be because of that putt on 17 from Cink. Making that prayer got in Rory's head and turned a full point for Europe into a full point for the US.

Sold them for $650, FWIW.

Tidy little $250 profit.

Euros are playing out of their minds right now....US is getting their asses handed to them this afternoon.

Looks like we're headed to Monday for the finish now. Beautiful Wales, but not so much with the rain...

Jerm · 10-03-2010, 03:27 AM

We're also looking at the doomsday scenario of not even finishing on time on Monday and the Ryder Cup being decided without all the matches being done.

Apparently the forecast isn't all that great for tomorrow either.

What a disaster.

That'd probably be just fine with the Americans at this point.

Looks like we're ready for play at 1:30 GMT. Here's to some good weather.

So, my brother-in-law won a 7 day golf vacation via a contest he entered (yes, it's actually legit) and he's taking me to play five courses:

St Andrews (Old and New)
Prestwick
Carnoustie
and one other of our choosing from a certain list.

Sfeihc · 01-23-2011, 11:52 AM

Hamas, we want pics of your adventure. Please. Do it for all of us dreamers who likely will never get the chance to play these treasures.

Will do. My wife has a DSLR that I'll bring with me. I don't know what kind of camera policy they'll have (if any). I definitely know that I'm going to have to buy some new rain gear and practice my ****ing ass off this spring. I'm hoping we can go sometime in late May before I have to teach for the Summer term. Otherwise, I may have to wait until early August.

That's nothing, I get to go to Tulsa in March.

Have fun, man. I was actually thinking of bumping this today - I'm contemplating new irons, and have narrowed the selection down to Mizuno JPX-800 Pros and Adams Pro Black CB2's.
