Valspar Discussion Thread

I go to the Valspar every year. Some takeaways for after Friday's round... The fans and the sponsors of the tournament were amazing. Logistically, it was easy to park and get to the course. Obviously, the crowds and atmosphere exceeded all expectations with Tiger in the field. It was great to follow him for a while, but that opened up the rest of the course to get up close to other players. Peter Malnati might not only be the nicest TOUR player, but possibly the nicest human being. Every year I follow Henrik Stenson, who happens to be my favorite golfer. He is such a class-act and professional and was very gracious while posing for a photo with me. Adam Scott is a 9 (according to my wife), but his accent makes him an 11. I don't disagree. Keep an eye out for Jimmy Stanger once he strings together four good rounds. The Snake Pit never gets old, especially 16.

I know everyone is on a Tiger high at the moment , but I have my reservations about him going back to back weeks. I sure he knows his body well enough just very interested on how his stamina will be come the weekend .

^^ you are correct. I been there almost every year last 10+ years. Haters will refuse to admit the attendance spike. It was fantastic. Great for local business. Great for kids. Great for the course exposure.

NBC ratings up 190%. Best non major ratings since 2013 Players which was won by??? Must have been the Casey effect.

 

Well, Paul Casey is the needle you know!

It is so much better when Tiger is just playing golf, and playing well.

 

The drama the last four years was ridiculous. Every swing, every round, his swing was analyzed and it was "he needs Butch" or "Como needs to do this" or "Go back to the Scotty".

 

Now he is just playing, thankfully.

 

He did seem a bit fatigued at the end of the round, so we'll see if there's any carryover to the API.

I wanted to go this year so bad I couldn't stand it. Work sometimes gets in the way, huh?

 

I met Justine Reed while there - amazing how little she is considering she was PR's caddie before the kiddo came along. And I really enjoyed following Kuchar around for his front side. When he made the turn I went back to the first just in time to see PR tee off and I followed him to the end. Was just an awesome time and very well planned out. Did you end up parking away from the venue and catching the USF bus? I saw some ViP parking up close but had no idea what those spaces would have cost or how to get them. But we didn't wait long for our bus and the traffic getting out at the end of the day wasn't all that bad either.

 

I am hoping to get out there and play Copperhead this coming summer but that's one of the "we will see" sort of things. Lots of stuff going on in the background in addition to the work and you know how that goes.

 

In any case glad you enjoyed it. It's a great venue with some really tough finishing holes and I'd rate it right up there with Sawgrass for fun and excitement.

 

Ill answer to you for the above since theres too many quotes. You asked a question and I answered period. this years finish wasnt better than the 2015 in my eyes. pretty simple.I was there FYI. you can disagree and thats cool but youre a little too jacked up about defending an event that i love at a course i love so i dont get the hostility. My college buddy worked there in 95 during the JC Penney and i got to meet eventual champ davis love on the range. I know youre excited that tiger almost won ( so am i ) but i just thought that wasnt the best finish there even in recent memory and as the other poster said it was like a major (which it wasnt). take care

Shocking right? whos arguing tiger ratings? Look at the golf channel web site 17 out of the 20 stories... Tiger. nothings changed in 5 years but the good thing now is hes actually playing, seems healthy and playing well (at least his last 2 starts)

This is a good point. Sunday was much hotter than the previous three days at Valspar, and you could tell he was grinding. Bay Hill will be much of the same... cooler to start the week then back in the 80s again on Sunday.
