It's too bad, isn't it.  I was looking forward to talking about old-fat-slow.

[jjr]

Why don't we talk about how anyone in the field could kick any of our asses with just 5 clubs on this track! 🤪

What if one of them is eating a giant bag of pork rinds and a mega cup of Mountain Dew sitting in the cart.

 

Can I make fun of that?

Love me some pork rinds!

[Obee]

Fat? Was that a typo?

[fastswinger]

The ceo of fujikura (Dave Schnider) qualified for it; a boss that knows how to play!

A 241 yard par 3...pulling out the mini driver and trying to hit it high personally...sheesh.

Volunteering at it starting this afternoon through Sunday. 

 

Built in an age where a few blocks away were 'cottages' that are bigger where most of the parties happened, hence it's not really 'set up/built' for functions other than to just be a gathering place for golfers.

 

Main foyer at the entrance, meeting/gathering area on one side, entertainment/bar/lounge on the other. Upstairs are locker rooms, mens on side, ladies the other. 

 

It truly is a simple, yet magnificent as you say, clubhouse.

 

Played the course a few times through RIGA. (RI Golf Assoc.)

I didn’t know John Daly was in the field.

[subrew]

Actually looking forward to watching it this weekend.  I will likely catch 0 minutes of the Rocket Mortgage event, in favor of more US Senior Open and the LPGA Dow Pairs event.

This golf course is so pure - can't wait to see it on TV.  What an amazing piece of golf history in this country!

He's having a tough day, but my guy Jon Olson is a fun story. He shot 38-30 in qualifying in Montgomery, AL. Former mini-tour player who gave that up to teach middle school and coach middle school golf. Kind of guy who can go 4 months without touching his clubs and then drop 68 on you. 

[PedronNiall]

Figured Paddy would show up ready to play. If the course firms up he could be at a nice advantage with his distance and wedge play. Good leader board at the moment, nice seeing Choi and some others like Barron floating under par.

 

Think we almost got some juicy tidbits while they were moving the broadcast over and left some mics hot. Faxon was about to regale us with details about a no doubt scandalous party but they got it all sorted out.
