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!

Going forward, a Saudi network should broadcast the Masters instead of CBS.

Woods and Couples wish their play was as good as all their criticisms of LIV.

Mines comes from walking soybeans and the plants are filled with dew. Have to wear jeans so the plants dont cut you. All the dew ends in your shoes.

Every step is a squish

to this day

Did Koepka/Rahm both withdraw from the tournament? Or is CBS not allowed to show them because of other apps and schmaps?

Oh great. Now the play is over. Would have been nice to show it earlier instead of other nonsense.

The correct answer is 13 minutes.

They got through enough holes today so they could easily finish all of it by tomorrow evening. I imagine that was the plan all along.

Interesting time to stop, though, with a potential 2 shot swing between Koepka and Rahm on 7.

Well….

[mlyonsd]

And I just got in from raking rocks out of the ditch. Glad I hurried.

The 7th green was completely waterlogged. My guess is during that delay they told the leaders that they were about to stop play anyway in the next 5-10 minutes so they didn't have to putt.

Also CBS got completely screwed by the Masters' decisions today. Got a whole 10 minutes of coverage.

I'll give you a complete OPPOSITE with super DRY conditions.

The very first time I came to AZ to play golf was 1997. I played Troon North in Scottsdale.

I hit at least 6-7 shots into the brush off the fairway. As I went looking for my ball I would lean in or reach in to look near bushes. At the time they looked harmless.

By the time my round was over I had over 50 scratch marks, dried blood in several locations and 20-25 sharp needles stuck in my ankles and socks from jumping cholla. They have a slimy texture and barb like spines that make getting them out very tough.

No one EVER warned me about desert golf in shorts.

The future of sports is more access, not less. If the Masters sticks to their guns (and no reason to think they won't), there will also only be live coverage of Amen Corner and 15-16 for the Koepka/Rahm group's R3 tomorrow morning. Probably will miss a few holes to start R4 as well.
