Can't play Links golf aye?

From +7 on Thursday to -9 at the end of the tournament. 🔥

Props to Bryson. 

 

 

 

Kudos to Bryson.  The super strong winds never materialized or his high tee shots and irons would have been penalized.  Though he must have nicely managed to miss the difficult rough most of the time.

 

P.S. - I liked his comment on the photo, "I didn't fully get to the position I wanted to be in."  We didn't even know he had sex the night before...

I absolutely never call anyone out on this forum, even myself (except for Ti-Scape because his was unintentionally funny). Typos are a way of life when typing fast.  But the one on that signage was glaring and egregious.  Not sure how old that sign is but someone must have called that out as soon as the sign went up.  Surprised it wasn't fixed.

 

I'm going to tell the club historian that a guest from Washington state came up to me and pointed out the error. Let's see how long it takes before a correct one is up. And if the historian asks what he might I do for the guest that noticed the misspelling to show his appreciation I'll suggest he sends you a package of ivy seeds.

The most egregious typo I’ve ever seen was on an award certificate my son’s girlfriend received for making the Dean’s List at a community college. I can’t remember the misspelling, but it was just awful given the context.

While the invitation is appreciated, going to respectfully decline. Witnessed enough fandom of NFL during my time on the volcanic islands in midst of Pacific to no longer care to follow that league.

PSA:  The Final Major Standings will be posted Tuesday or Wednesday.  I have a eye procedure tomorrow and if it’s anything like last time I won’t be seeing well for 24 hours.

Hopefully you'll see that I had 100 points...

[NJBigFish22]

Since the Open turned into a Scottie Snoozefest I decide to go to the club and hit some balls.  This is the second time I hit 7 irons.  I am doing some initial shaft and weight testing.

Of course he did...one for warmup, but as usual he thought the tournament started on Friday and was LIV holes.

Were you there? 

That was quite the line up. 

 

 

Isn’t it weird.  50 years later if you put these bands into a queue based on greatness and this is so different than the lineup.

Sepp 5 points.

 

morilawa and Cantlay MC -6.
