2021 PGA Championship - Phil!

[drn92]

Some low scores out there today!  Can JS or RF throw a 63 on the board?  
 

I think -10 gets it done.

No matter what happens I hope the Tour returns to the Ocean Course more often in the future. 

 

So a buddy texted me Thursday, saying we need to play this course.  We're Canucks so we will have about a 20% premium added to what I'm about to tell you, but for fun, I looked up what tee times go for.  September, August, July....  $463, which includes caddie, but doesn't include the recommended $100 tip.  We'll be looking elsewhere.

 

I can't imagine the resort giving up the course and that money for anything other than once a decade, just to keep the name in the public eye, to justify those greens fees.

 

All I'm saying is don't get your hopes up.  While I'm sure that not every round brings in that much(resort guest, etc), it would take some serious money to make it worth while.  You won't see a regular tour event, IMHO.

I don't care too much who wins, but I'd love to see a playoff. The last one was in 2017 Masters if I checked right.

[Como82]

You'd have to think anyone not -3 or better to start is probably out of it unless somehow all of Streelman/Phil/Brooks/Louis none shoot -3 or better which seems impossible

[3whacker]

why does Nantz continue to harp on the fact that Louie could have been  the overnite leader had he made some putts....

I'm still amazed Nantz did not get fired last year after he was sort of supporting all the insanity going on in the US.  One thing is for sure, golf people are probably the last ones you want to start getting into social/political issues with on a broadcast next to NASCAR.  I was really shocked he survived TBH

I’m planning to play it next year in either April or May before the humidity gets in the 90% range 🥵

Best of luck to you.  Is a great looking course.

I find it humorously ironic that all the sandy areas at Kiawah, including those that are well manicured and would appear as bunkers to most, players are allowed to ground clubs and take practice swings that contact the sand.  

Meanwhile Whistling Straits, another Dye design, marks all its sandy areas to be treated as bunkers, including those that spectators were standing in at the last PGA Champ contested there.

[7018]

Man that was tough to watch Rory.  Half surprised he didnt just WD at some point haha

[bscinstnct]

3 SAs in the top-5?

 

I say it’s ‘roids!

 

🤣

[Como82]

Best case is someone like Streelman or Grace shoots -6 or -7 because we obviously know Brooks will go at least -3 you'd think.

I’ll definitely #skipthetips (tee boxes, not caddy tips!) 😂 

[Go Cougs]

One of these days Keegan's going to have to ditch the clubs he got for his 7th birthday and start using an adult length set.

 

I know some pros get very comfortable with their gear and are reluctant to change, but it's starting to get ridiculous.

[TiScape]

BAD time! 🙌🏼

 As long as the rule is consistent on a particular course, what difference does it make ?

[golfortennis]

Not sure if this has been mentioned.  I noticed they were taking over 5 hours to play rounds.  Is it slow play or is a bit of an awkward walk?  I thought I saw a few holes where you have to walk a long way around to get to a tee or fairway.

 Would love to see Reed make a run - Be Reed , Koepka and BAD to upset the pearl clutchers

Sunday in a major. We’ve got Streelman, Oosthuizen, and Koepka within three of Phil’s -7 (BK one back). Grace and Bezuidenhout next at -3. Woodland and DeChambeau at -2.

 

Any names there pique your interest?

 

 

I root for good golf not names 

[MMB1500]

Phillip Mickelson rocking up to the first tee like..

What insanity was he supporting?

IMO, Nantz is getting tiresome, droaning and boring.

[Str8Putt]

Go time

[idrive]

I want Phil to win so bad it’s killing me

[Str8Putt]

Still amazes me people still hold their phones wrong for recording video

 

And Phils bag looks like Pikachu 😂
