2018 ANA Inspiration Mar 29 - Apr 1

Great, now when a twosome can play in 4:00 hours we're excited that it's not slow.

 

Their overall time might have been within whatever parameters they consider acceptable, but anyone who thinks Pernilla is not slow, at least over the ball, is seeing something different out there than I did.

 

DSS...you and I walking, as a twosome, what do you think...3:30 on that course? 3 flat?

 

The rough looked legitimately tough, and the greens were fast. I think that would add a little time. I'm thinking 3:15.

 

You hit it in the rough?

 

Sure, hit a good drive down the middle....then shank the iron into the rough. I think I hit driver straighter than PW!

Anyone who saw us out there would see one guy playing a K-Sig and the other playing a Snell, and they would ask, "where did these yahoos come from"?

Donna Andrews teed it up??? She hasn't played in an event in 10 years. Hmmm...was Marlene Hagge booked?

If I was 30 years younger...

Yes, Jodi did walk by the grandstands on 18 without acknowledging the fans. She was walking on the left side of the path with her head down while Jennifer was high-fiving several fans. To be fair, though, she wasn't the only player to do so.

 

 

Once Lindberg did that I stopped rooting for her to win.

 

 

I'm at a total loss to understand why adults feel the need to hold their hands out so that pro golfers, or any other sports person for that matter, can slap their hand as they walk past. It just does my head in. At the very least, I would feel like an idiot for being brushed when they just walk by but that isn't the reason I wouldn't do it, I just think it's plain stupid. I think if you asked the golfers, most would wish they didn't have to do it.

I have to agree, don’t understand the allure of a hand slap. But to each their own I guess.

If I was a professional golfer there is no way I am participating in these hand slaps. WRX comments be damned. Players need their hands to make a living. One nutjob fan and your week, season or career could be over.

It was a shame that Lindberg backed off a shot because I am too old to carry a plastic water bottle. I hope it doesn't happen again at Wilshire CC.

bravedave....I think you were out again this morning...were you wearing a blue and yellow hat and sunglasses?

I assume fanofseri headed back to LA last night or did he sleep in his car in the ANA designated spectator parking lot last night?

I was there but can't remember which one of my awesome hats I was wearing. Fanofseri left after Saturdays round. He was debating on whether to stay for Sunday but opted out. He's such a cool cat and we both know what an awesome writer he is. He was saying that Wilshire is in bad shape for next week. I won't be making LA but will be in Alaska I mean SF for the one after. Black rain pants galore rain or shine. Whoopie! September October is best time of the year there.

 

Ah sleeping in the car in the lot not a bad idea hahaha.

Wilshire hired away a top notch superintendent from Bel-Air CC. Hopefully, he can work magic in a short period. The women are finally playing a classic Los Angeles golf course.
