weird there are no recreational boats in the puget sound...

USGA probably banned them, so the focus would be solely on the course.

I assume this is sarcasm.

At least I hope it is..

[bscinstnct]

Phil is winning!

[Fade to Black]

Tough greens. Not a lot of bite in them. Amazing to see these short irons and wedges releasing and rolling out so much.

Wish the app worked better...not near a TV so trying to stream it and it only lets me watch commercials at the moment. Probably overloaded...

[Konklifer]

The view from the 4th tee is gorgeous. Really like the look of this course.

[sappytop]

how do they not show the protracer on bubba's drive?

[sappytop]

approaching 1 hour and completed 3 holes

[Danm2501]

Who the hell is the on-course reporter? She is terrible. Just called Cabrera Bubba about 5 times, and can barely talk. Actually looking forward to the Sky coverage. Eugh.

Why was the other thread closed?

Looking forward to see what the coverage is like. I wonder what the difference between the morning and afternoon scoring will be?

A couple of stalkers were hounding kemau about the lack of credits for the original authors of some of the stuff he had used to create the OP on that and another thread. He probably thought it wasn't worth the hassle. Shame as he obviously put a lot of effort in to it.
[/quote]

Eh, what actually happened is a couple of posters pointed out yesterday in [b]one[/b] thread that kemau inappropriately copied and pasted an entire article into said thread (something he does with some regularity here) and instead of doing the right thing (editing his post to provide only an excerpt and link of the article) he threw his toys out of the pram and demanded that the mods close both that thread and his original Open thread (a thread in which nobody had said anything about his copy and paste job).

As for him putting a lot of effort into his tournament threads, is it really that difficult to go to a couple of websites (pgatour.com/usga.com, etc) and copy and paste the work of others?
[/quote]


It's not about the difficulty. It's the fact that he was willing to put the up, across all the major Tours, week in and week out. For quite some time now.

I suspect he's done now.

So we have that going for us. Which is nice.

It's your very own Natalie Gulbis. I thought she was still on the LPGA tour but maybe she's taking a break or injured and helping out on the coverage.
Edit: Just looked it up. She hasn't made a cut or played in an LPGA major in two years...

[Danm2501]

Man, she has a terrible voice for TV.

ok, whatever.

[sappytop]

bubba muttering already

[Pent08]

The greens seem slow to be honest.

[cvhookem63]

Seems a little odd (but believable) that they would water the course as much as they did leading into the first day. Combine that with the course playing slower in the morning and it doesn't look to be near as fast as these guys were expecting right now - at least in this Bubba/Phil/Cabrera featured group.

And Natalie Gulbis sounds like she is working in a cubicle and is trying to have a phone call without bothering the person beside her. She hasn't perfected the quiet speaking voice yet.

[teejaywhy]

This course is way cool.

[sappytop]

great start for philly-mick

[Danm2501]

Back-to-backs for Lefty. Could be his year!

From what the players have said the course speeds up tremendously from morning to afternoon.

[legitimategolf]

CLASS ACT!!!

[NorthTexasGlfr]

Holy cow! 15 players already under par! Course is a creampuff

[sappytop]

[Fade to Black]

Monty at -1. Interested to see if he can keep it going!

[Danm2501]

Phil is on it today. What a shot!
