McNealy still not gunna turn pro?

No clue.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

There is a thread to discuss Woods' most recent indiscretions.

 

[Jacques The Mayor]

I played 9 holes yesterday for the first time ever and shot a 56. The co worker I went with said that's pretty good for a first time and he ended up shooting about a 70. He stopped keeping score after the first 5 holes though. Another co worker we went with shot a 39 but he goes golfing 3-4 days a week.

Yeah 56 is pretty solid for first time ever tbh.

I definitely need to work on my putting.

Spieth cooks up a solid six under 66 on Thursday.

One back.

DJ with a nice 6 over 78.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

DufDaddy has come to play

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Dufner is on fire

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I bet $20 on Summerhays at 18-1 before round 3.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Duf daddy dying.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Dufner 3 over Summerhays 2 under through 10 for a tie. Fowler, Watson, Speith Kucher just a few back now

 

[spintheblackcircle]

And Dufner just dropped a short chip right in the water for a double bogey.Summerhays made birdie, so from 5 behind to 3 up in 11 holes.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think Dufner is really Jay Cutler in a fat suit.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This is my favorite golf course on the PGA Tour, non-major venues.

They gotta put this in the US Open rotation.

Well, from 5 behind to 3 up after the 3rd round. I feel pretty good.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

DufDaddy did not come to play this weekend.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Phil Mickelson skipping US Open to attend his daughters high school graduation.

Just doesn't want to come 2nd again lol.

Grew up in Muirfield actually. It's a great community and a great course. Jack knows what he's doing.

It looks especially beautiful this year.

Hoping to see Rickie or Summerhays pull this one out. Only issue is that I was hoping not everyone would be on him for the US Open, oh well.

How many times have you played Muirfield Village? Are you are a member?

You know a course is good when the players compare it to Augusta. It is kind of similar to Augusta though, and the similarities don't surprise me, given Jack designed the course. Really fair course. If you hit the fairways, you can make low scores. If not, you are in trouble because its so hard to scramble on this course. The players say these are the best greens all year, besides the majors.

Its definitely in my top 5 courses I haven't played that I'd like to play. I've played a number of courses that have hosted majors, tour events, but this course looks excellent.

No it's just Jay Cutler.

Phil the Everyman strikes again. He's probably (correctly) assumed that he'll have a much greater chance at contending in the next 3 US Opens at Shinnecock, Pebble, and Winged Foot. I highly doubt he withdraws if this year's tournament is at one of those three courses.

Unfortunately I've never been able to play it, but I have played their CC course a few times, and been to the tournament a bunch. I know a lot of people who have played it, but I'm the only person in my family who is into golf (or sports for that matter), so no CC memberships for me. If I ever move back there I'll get a membership though. Both the Tournament course and CC course are very well maintained and beautiful. The tournament course is the greenest grass I've ever seen, so much so that it looks painted, so I definitely understand the Augusta comparisons.

It's a really great course for watching golf, it seems to have been designed with crowds in mind. My favorite is the 12th, there's a huge hill on the opposite side of the pond from the green where you can sit or lay on the ground, be totally comfortable, and see everything.

I would highly recommend it. There's a lot of stuff to do over a weekend in Dublin, and the hospitality of the tournament itself is fantastic. Ohio doesn't have much, but Jack really knows how to put on a tournament.

Summerhays already 3 over after 4. 4-way tie now, Summerhays has zero chance now, heh. Bubba was at 8-1 this morning and I threw $10 on him as backup to my Summerhays bet.

Where do you do these kinds of bets?

And I may have given up on Summerhays too soon. As a guy who has never won, I would have expected a guy that goes 3 over after 4 wouldn't bounce back but he has.
