I volunteered down between 2 and 3 where spectators were not allowed to get to (roped off at 2 tee and 3 green. Loved every second of it. Quiet. And I think the players did too. 

 

I think I might print this one.... not too shabby for a cell phone...

I’m marshaling there this week. Have played the course before and it looks great! Switching the nines does confuse me though. I was told that 18 green didn’t have enough room for grandstands and luxury boxes - there are seats behind the green but nothing on the sides. 9 green definitely has more seating. Still solid finishing holes for the tournament.

 

Working Sunday? If so, I'll try and meet up (working at 3pm here). PM Me if you want to.

How would you describe seeing Fujita's swing in person?

Better. Much more connected and smooth. Brings it up and drops into the slot nicely.

LOL.. Charley Hull who?" 🙂

Rocco's been one of my favorites since I saw him play in the L.A. Open in the early nineties.

Thanks for the info.  To me, the Jailbird  is a long, non broomstick,  putter compared to standard.

Hello, USGA, I'd like to report a rules violation...

Not seen any footage but can't imagine he's stroking with the heel up like he has done forever. How's that going to work with the long Jailbird?? Very curios to see it in action.

Heel is still up.

 

See at 5:07 of the video.

Really enjoying the ad free aspect of this tournament. And unlike most ads, I actually want to buy a Rolex because of it. Wish more sponsors would go this route, or with just a simple banner add saying “presented commercial free by….”

as in, too much or too little? ... or too arbitrary? ... i'm busy making a drink ...

I actually enjoyed the bits that I saw.  Fujita's swing is, erm, interesting, but he sure can play!

Well I got my hand slapped for commenting on Bland's dissertation while he had a mic in his face. Really don't see any reason to bring it up in the main thread when it's only relevant because a player went on at length about it during this tourney but I guess that's verboten.

I know what you mean. It is let's say "different".

 

Hiroyuki Fujita highlights.

 

He looks steady and I hope he holds on.

"Master Bunny" is more often seen on the JLPGA/ KLPGA ... albeit i've heard (on another thread in this Golfwrx forum) that it's also popular amongst the nouveau riche in some Asian cities?
