The Players Championship

[Newbomb Turk]

Tiger even today, still at +3.
Phil still in the lead - for now.

This should be a real major - kick the Open Championship out. ;)

and Phil promptly hooks his tee shot into the water on 5.

17th hole is brutal!

17th hole is brutal!

it sure was yesterday. I don't remember the exact numbers but something like 50 balls in the water yesterday - and the record for the 4-day event is 59.

that is a great picture.

Arnie is my favorite golfer of all time - him and Gary Player.

i like Gary Player a lot too. inna day, GP would take a 3 week steamer boat ride to play in the (British) Open Championship. that's good stuff, IMO. he complained there weren't enough trees and not enough green grass and fake bird noises.... but played like a mutha.

arnie looks a lot like my late granddad in that picture. good people.

there's a great story Nicklaus tells i've read in a couple golf mags....where maybe at Scioto (jack's home course in Ohio)....it's raining like hell and he's still at the course in the clubhouse and some loony cat is out hitting balls on the practice tee. the young Nicklaus is, like, "who the hell that guy out there".....and the club pro answers. "that's Arnold Palmer".

i got up an down from *behind* the hill on the left for par. snapped a 4 iron in the wind and rain.

flop wedge out of ankle deep heather i hit was one the best golf shots i ever hit in my life. made the 8 footer for par.

I had no chance to watch any golf today. Very few big names on the leaderboard other than Mickelson. He has been pretty consistent this week. It will be interesting to see if he can hold it together tomorrow.

Were any cows in danger? Goats?

And if I could get ankle deep in Heather, I sure wouldn't be braggin' about it.

:D

i like that graphic they are using with the greens and all the golf balls that shows the green contours and slope/collection spots.

that is cool. I wish I had something like that at the golf course with me.

Ollie is amazing sometimes. only hits 5 fairways today, but hits 16 greens.
