Wells Fargo Championship Wilmington, NC

[Charleston Green Apparel]

Alex Noren leading

 

Carl Pettersson in last.

 

Swedes bookend the field.

 

Interesting he and Webb are members and both did not play particularly well.

 

I thought that as well.

John Rahm is a younger righty version of Phil Mickelson but more fearless. Did you guys see that par save on that par 3?

He and Dustin like to hang around Phil, hm..

[SteelPride]

McCord is such an insufferable boob. Ruins my viewing experience every single time.

 

Piss off McCord.

[elwhippy]

Awesome conditioning but am I only the only to think the course is a bit too much like Augusta? Some great holes but still lacking something.

[egr2teup]

Play will resume at 9:50 am.

 

Not only will the players face wet conditions but 20-30 mph winds, too. Should be fun.

Says on the news they pushed back tee times by 3 hours. Yeah Ol' Kenny duke is in excellent form. Watched him a bit, he has an awesome sense of humour. There were like 6 people behind him we weren't saying anything or even making the slightest noise and he goes "quiet please!" . Haha I love when guys on tour joke with the patrons.

[bscinstnct]

Yeah, JB!

 

32 coming in, very sneaky.

Look at that action is his lower body, there's your 320 yards

[03SMURF]

Pulling for Justin Lower to have another good round, today (-1 T31). Hope he makes the cut and has a breakout event.

[Hankshank]

Meanies... Berger, Mackenzie, Hurley, Randolph and surprisingly... Bryan!

[McCann1]

Some photos before I walk on the course

 

Damn you technology..of course they're upside down

[360_CS]

Why the f*** is the coverage finishing? There is heaps of golf left.

[McCann1]

I'm leaving now, the weather is great besides the wind so they should be able to squeeze every minute of daylight out of today

Must have missed you. Just left myself and was watching DJ on the range.

[McCann1]

I have two tickets for the weekend and I'm not sure if I'm going. If anybody's interested let me know

[teejaywhy]

Nice to see the return to normalcy on the PGA TOUR this week.

 

 

(yawns... changes channel...)

Well, FIX IT.

I saw this guy on the range 10 years ago. Absolute animal with the driver

[BB28403]

We left when the horns sounded at 7:55 pm ish. Patrick Reed had to mark his ball in Pine straw after the horn. Furyk and Scott putted theirs. DJ looked pissed all day that Reed, Furyk, and Scott were taking so long. Poor adam kept getting water balls :(.

 

The poor volunteers looked like they were going to have to wait hours to load all their shuttles.

We heard a bit of complaining from the volunteers that Wells Fargo only gave them enough meal vouchers for 1 meal from 6am till 8pm... You do the math . Does a 65 year old man need more than one meal in the hot sun? Anyways. Yes they do.

Also the meal vouchers are in $2 increments , and so if you get $5 fries the concessions have to take 3 vouchers. And they cannot give change.

 

All and all a good tourney and the scoring is low so far!

 

[SteelPride]

Tons of golf left and GC goes to the Insperity.

 

Get a f&@$!$@ clue you idiots.

[BB28403]

Haha I agree! My dvr taped the insperity and im like WT heck? Delete!

[RainShadow]

Incredible golf course!

Not true. Volunteers are given $24 of vouchers for food along with a free bottle of water.

[BB28403]

This is what volunteers told me directly. Enough to buy one meal. Just passing it along. And they said the vouchers are in $2 increments and only good that Day of the tourney. And they didn't get relief enough to go grab food but once in the day. Maybe it was just general tiredness. Overall they sounded like they had a good time .

 

And just as an observation $24 if this is accurate, it would buy you at most 1000 calories. I bought food 5 days in a row and spent around $40-$60 for 2 .

The course looks like a Sandhills or Piedmont course. Doesn't look like too many coastal courses. Expected to see more Live Oaks and sandy areas.

I have volunteered the last three Wells Fargo's at Quail Hollow but chose not to go to Wilmington.

 

Yes, vouchers are in $2 increments but $24 gives you plenty to eat two meals IF you drink water.

 

Presumably, they have an Ambassador Alley in Wilmington too which allows you to load up on snacks - muffins, bananas, chips, crackers etc.

[BB28403]

Well im in wilmington at this tournament in wilmington. They could give them less here. From the complaints i heard I think they only got $12. Because the guys were saying they could only get 1 meal with it. I just wish they'd feed them and not demand 12 hours from them with no food.

 

2 fish tacos and like 8 tortilla chips was $11

[egr2teup]

I should've posted this earlier -- a friend of mine that I volunteer with in Charlotte worked Wilmington on Monday and Tuesday.

 

Wilmington offers the same thing as Charlotte -- $24 in food vouchers along with a free bottle of water.

[BB28403]

Sure...
