Last time I was talked into playing LP...

 

Tex: No seriously, I heard LP is in great shape.

Me: No. It was hot garbage last time I played.

Tex: Seriously, it will be fine.

Me: Eh, OK.

 

(sees the way the tee boxes and fairways look)

 

Me: F you Tex, what a waste of...

 

(watches MTN launch his driver and get it stuck in a tree on the first tee)

 

Me: Nevermind, awesome day!!

 

I've been seeing commercials for LP on tv for the first time...they specifically mention good conditions so I guess we'll see.

That was a fun day. Epic club toss! Played like garbage, though

Anyone playing this afternoon? My plan to Mattaponi on my way to Richmond fell through as they have an outing this afternoon.

I was going to practice today, but I'll go out at Turf if you want. Let me know. Unless you want to hit LP with Tex. I don't care. Like I said, I was going to practice.

 

Also -- that offer is extended to 2 more people, if Bay wants to play.

 

I don't know exactly when yet. My plan is to get home around 2 day, walk the dog (30 minutes?) then drive to the course (30 minutes). For an eta of 3. Any of those times could be bumped 10 minutes in one direction or the other.

 

I'm in, also very flexible on time, takes me 25 minutes to get there so I need that much advance notice. I will get dressed and put the clubs in the car now.

OK. I should get there by 3 pretty easily, but you just never know.

Q. What do you think of the USGA decision to go to a two-hole playoff to decide?

JORDAN SPIETH: It's the first I've heard of that being an option.

 

Q. Really?

JORDAN SPIETH: It's still 18 holes, right?

 

THE MODERATOR: No, it's two.

 

JORDAN SPIETH: Oh, it is two? I didn't even know. What do I think of it?

 

THE MODERATOR: Two on Sunday.

 

JORDAN SPIETH: Two on Sunday. Either way, I mean, I guess strategy changes a little from an entire round, but I honestly had no idea that it even changed. I was even looking at a weather forecast for Monday, thinking, you know, what's it look like if you happen to work your way into a playoff? So shows you what I know.

 

THE MODERATOR: Spend the day in the city instead.

So I've been waiting for The Golfers Journal to start up their "special events" that they'd been advertising since I first subscribed.

 

This is a good first swing

Are we sure that the Solstice special guest won't get scared away after playing the first round with City?

Were you?

 

Out at Waverly, Go_Time told he was US Navy.

 

I suggested calling him Battleship. Awesome, right?

Then, PQ decided it was better to call him Rihanna.

After a couple missed putts, it was being demoted to "Dinghy".

Please tell me someone played a ball on the edge of long grass completely capable of being played as a normal shot.

It's funny, before my group teed off at Northwest for the Honeypot, our group asked the starter about playing out of the long grass. He basically said if you can find it, go play it, and was confused as to why we were asking. He had no idea about the scorecard reference until we told him.

 

I still think if you find your ball in an area where it's okay to be walking (not environmentally sensitive area) in long grass that it's okay to play.

Whoa..

 

I guess we can do that but not make decisions about gur bunkers.

Anybody else see that Eagle1997 Dreamgirl Ariana Grande got engaged to ...Pete Davidson?????

 

 

 

I'm not afraid to say that in a perfect world, if Ariana had to choose between Eagle and Pete, I think she's got to go with Eagle- he's way better looking, and actually funnier than Pete Davidson. Also I think he handles his liquor better than Pete.

We were taking pity on Sully. He was losing at the time.

 

Also not a tourney, so there was no field in need of protection from our negligent behavior.

 

Sully probably just shouldn't have hit it where he did. That'd have been the best solution.

 

Hard to argue with these points.

It happened on new hole 2.

 

Sully hit his tee shot right at what appears to be the corner of the tall grass from the tee. We walk up and find there's actually a cut out beyond the corner on the line his ball was traveling, then more tall grass, then rough. I drove up a ways on his line and didn't find anything. Sully dropped where we saw it cross, but then found his original ball as he played up the hole. Here's a picture.

I'm actually not sure what ball Sully played the hole out with at that point, but given we didn't look super hard for his original, and how hard it was to find balls in the rough yesterday anyway, DC and I agreed we were fine with Sully playing his original ball with no penalty.

 

I believe the correct ruling is that he'd actually have to play the ball he dropped and put in play, with an additional 2 stroke penalty.

 

If they didn't have the dumb nebulous local rule about unmown areas, it wouldn't have been a problem. Sully would have played a provisional off the tee, and eventually been able to play his original once he got to it, with no penalty.
