Not a huge fan of Vijay...but I respect his work ethic and what you see it what you get.

Sergio on the other hand...

You have any clue how much they pay him to pimp that NFL gear?
I'll pick the winner Friday Night. I've noticed if I wait until then I appear to be able to get r done. I knew Friday Night that Harrington was taking that Brit Open. Thursday Night I leaned towards Rocco. Was obvious watching Rocco on Friday that he wasn't gunna grind hard enough for pars. Too loose, and settling(just like Joe Tea Drinka sending trash to the mound to do a man's job.) I need 2 days(not just 1.) The best golf bet I ever made was Friday Night of the PGA tournament that MAKEEL won. He had all the body language n' confidence that week. He hasn't played very well since(hence, I don't remember how to write the name, and he doesn't warrant me looking it up.) Same goes for the Friday interview of the American who won the Brit open about 4 years ago. Can't remember his name, because he hasn't done anything since. He is from Iowa, and lives in Texas. Then, the most obvious telegrapher of intentions on Friday was Cabrera in last years U.S. Open. He was confident cubed.I want to say the Iowa guy was named Hamilton, but not sure, and someone playing that poorly doesn't deserve their name written anyways.

Todd Hamilton.

Course is too tight. Scuds will tell you, he needs a place he can spray it off the tee and it don't hurt him. Where was it he won, Pheonix?? Tuscon??

You see him reach that 600 yard par 5 in two shots and miss the 5 footer for eagle?

No, I can't keep track of where they are showing it. Was watcing a little on TNT, but LAW N' ORDER on there relentlessly now(even though they are evidently back playing.) Damn show is pretty much the same show each time with a lil slight ripple.

damn....they had golf on out here forever. I watched it from 1-5 on TNT. It was scheduled til 7, but I know a rain delay came after I left home.

To be honest, I am not used to weatching guys that can hit. So, watching Manny play right now kept from from watching much of the tournament earlier today. I'll try to watch it more, but Friday seems more important to me with these things. For instance, Da Milky Sea is up there close to the lead on the 1st day.

Some of them are complaining that they are leaving
indented footprints on the greens they are so dry.
Dont think that is right. Course is tough enough.

[Crown@club]

Furyk playing like me or I'm playing like Furyk. Its 18 holes of Golf not 15!

It's not too anything. The thing that is throwing some of them off is "the difference" between the hardness of Thursday's greens versus the softer greens they played their practice rounds on. You have to understand these are spoiled people. They want to win majors, but they don't want to have to work hard to do it. They want to be able to shoot at pins, and it's just not gunna be that way as much as they would like it to be. If a guy who is a teaching pro can shoot 1 over, then it isn't too hard .

PGA head professional at Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park, N.J. . Tied for 19th in the 2008 PGA Professional National Championship and won a playoff on the third extra hole to earn a berth in the 90th PGA Championship.
The PGA PRO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP is limited to teaching pros. He came 19th against teaching pros, and shot 1 over today. Billy Mayfair shot -1 today. This is not a great player. This is pretty much a Smurf. So, if somebody can't shoot atleast +1 on this course, then they just aren't playing that great.

Not limited to teaching pros.

Scuds, the 20 PGA Club Pros that are playing this week get there from a couple different qualifying levels. Again, they are not all teaching pros.

There are 41 PGA sections in the U.S. Every summer, each section has it's own C.P.C. (Club Pro Championship). Each section sends a certain number of qualifiers to the National C.P.C., based on the number of players. The section I am in, Middle Atlantic Section is having our C.P.C. in just a couple weeks in Williamsburg, VA. The top 11 finishers from our section will then advance to the National CPC in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico at the end of June next year. The top 20 finishers in New Mexico will then play in the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazletine in Minn.

Whatever they are, they aren't on our major(PGA TOUR) or minor tours(Nationwide.) They aren't on the Euro PGA TOUR either. Whoever they are, they aren't on one of the 3 best golf tours in the World. I don't know why they let them play in a major golf tournament if they aren't on a major tour, but if one of them can shoot +1 on this course set up, then it's proof to me that the course is not as hard as these guys are making it out to be. They just aren't hitting it straight, and you have to in majors.

[SCUDSBROTHER]

Kev, they shouldn't have these guys in a major golf tournament. Each year, one of them shoots a good round, and then blows up like a child with a disease. They shouldn't be taking spots that people on pro golf tours should have. There is a reason these guys aren't on pro tours.
