Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

It's an article on the groundskeepers at this course. And they basically talk about how hard it is to grow fescue and keep the greens green and removing sand from the grass. Because it's all on sand. If you've ever been to Lake Michigan (either side), you know this. Johnson got screwed (that's what she said)

It's a hazard and he can't ground hid club in a hazard. It sucks but it'll make Johnson better.

Again, if you can't ****ing count how many bunkers are on the course, if the architect himself is off on the numbers by several hundred (check the August '10 issue of Golf Digest), and there aren't any reasonable stances as to what constitutes a bunker, how could that area, which housed dozens of spectators, be considered a bunker??

If that was a waste area, he wouldn't be entitled to having it raked, but it wasn't.

You only get so many chances in majors, just ask Sergio, Greg Norman, or a similarly-aged Seve at the '86 Masters.

I'm just saying if a pro PGA golfer can't tell its not a bunker right away, then maybe it should be kept a little nicer.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-15-2010, 06:00 PM

FWIW, I guarantee that if it had been Tiger or Phil at 18, or if Johnson had made that putt on 18, those rules officials don't consult him on 18.

Shag · 08-15-2010, 06:00 PM

WTF was Bubba thinking? Horriffic decision...

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-15-2010, 06:01 PM

And let's not act like the rules officials are always consistent or accurate with their rulings.

Mark O'Meara won the 1998 British and Ernie Els won the 1994 US Open because of incorrect rules decisions.

**Old Dog** · 08-15-2010, 06:09 PM

Bubba just completely pissed down his leg didn't he?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-15-2010, 06:10 PM

Holy ****.
