The Greens Keeper was having problems with the greens. They put liquid fertilizer on them to get them green. Look painted. They were on number 9 around 4:30 when we were leaving measuring the stimp of the greens. My son asked me what I thought they were running at so I told him to go ask them. They told him they were able right now to have them running all the same and were all over the place. In the morning they were running at 12 and at 4:30 they were at 11. He said they weren't running the same from green to green either.

 

The rest of the course was in beautiful shape despite the Amateurs in the Pro-Am Chunking the fairways up.

 

Pump a little green dye in the greens and should be good to go!

that's what they do A Pebble

 

Pebble looked glorious so I guess they know what their doing

[moonshine]

Rory wins and Tiger misses cut with wide margin :/

Did he fix his putting issues then?

[15Over]

I’ll throw my $.02 in:

 

I like Rickie to defend in Florida on Florida turf.

 

Tiger makes the cut, but he’s still got work to do before anyone else is going to start sweating over him.

[wfrogge1]

Longshot prediction: Tiger makes cut, finishes tied for 15th

[2putttom]

I'll go with the owner of this bag ..

Follow the link in the Rory and Paddy Interview thread and see what those two thought of the greens at Pebble......not good!

If Rory gets out of his own head on the greens I think he can win here. Has good history at the Honda

 

 

Excuse to post this my favorite Rory shot ... would be for sure if he made the putt

 

[Jackhammer993]

Funny but my interest is more in Tiger making the cut than who wins but I do feel a Euro is going to come out of this on top, just not sure which one.

Which one? It goes to his top 10.

Looking pretty good if you are not a fan:

According to Golf Channel's Justin Ray, Woods would rank second-worst on the entire PGA Tour in driving accuracy and greens in regulation, if he had enough rounds to qualify.

Somebody will be calculating how many tournaments he can enter and cuts missed before he has to toss it in this year to avoid the stat humiliation.

Wait until Rory sees them at the US Open. (and Ian too if he can get in)

[80sFredriksson]

Did he fix his putting issues then?

 

I doubt that but I am thinking he will have a great ball striking week and the wedge game will be sharper, this will take pressure of his putting

[GolfTurkey]

Prediction: Tiger announces (or at least starts working with) a new instructor before his next tournament if he sprays his ball everywhere again.

 

He doesn't have time on his side to mess around figuring stuff out on his own, especially with Augusta looming.

I thought is was a very recent announcement that he wanted to go it alone?

 

Maybe David Leadbetter would be a good choice at this point in each of their careers ;-). You would think it would not take much to move Tiger Frickin Woods, often considered one of the top 25 players of all time into the top 100 in GIR?

NO!

[bogeypro]

tiger can't spray it this week and hope to make a cut. I say missed cut, then some news of an instructor coming into team tiger in the next week or two. he won't go to augusta and embarrass himself.... dude has too much pride for that.

What would his scoring average rank?

If he is healthy, he is going to Augusta.

[CStephenson17]

Tiger wins, becomes masters favorite.

 

Jk. Tigers going to win the Masters, not some peasant fest like this.....

 

In all reality I hope Rickie defends!

Go Rickie.

Had plans to go for Saturday with my son. (14) He broke his damn foot last night playing hoops. I have a wheelchair left over from his brothers broken femur in July (been quite a year) as well as crutches. Do I drag him along? Do I push his sorry butt all over? Do I stay home and get in 18 as a single? Walking 18 with Fowler is what he wanted to do but that just aint gonna happen now. What about the $135 Bear Trap pass? Can I get that, he gets in free and we have elevated seats or spots for 16 and 17. Do you think that is the best idea? I have never been on the grounds here and would appreciate your input.

Thanks,

John

My buddy said it can be a s*** show with drunks in that area fwiw

[Baitkiller]

I was afraid of that. to quote the site map: "has become one of the most lively party spots on tour" or something like that. Its also not what either of us wants in regards to the experience. I may punt on the whole idea this year.. sigh.

edit, wife just sent me this.

Hijack over.
