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.
They are blowing him because golf is a dying sport and no one aged 26-35 is playing. Golf needs another Tiger in the worst way and the PGA is praying it's Rory. It's good for business.
I, however, hope golf keeps dying because I can afford it now with prices slashed everywhere but couldn't afford it 10 years ago when everyone wanted to see if they could be Tiger Woods [Reply]

What does an average round cost where you live? Here in the thriving metropolis of Wichita I can golf a round for around $20-$25 if I don't rent a cart. I played a course outside of Dallas a few weeks ago that had $105 green fees. I was wondering what us the norm in other parts of the country. [Reply]

Back to back majors and four of them by the age of 25. He deserves it for those accomplishments. [Reply]

In central Illinois I play anywhere from $9-$38. The $9 is a decent 18 hole course that lets you golf as many holes with a cart after 4 PM. Needless to say, I golf there a lot.
I'm joining the country club next year, though. To be a junior member at the nicest one it's $140 a month plus you have to spend $200 quarterly on food/drink. Done. [Reply]

That's cheaper than I thought it would be. Hell, $200 quarterly on food/drink is a walk in the park. [Reply]

It was a dead pull. Watch his reaction to the strike and the swing path. Pulls go a long way. He got an incredible break because he would have been short sided with dense rough. That was the same as the dropped fourth shot he hit into 10 on Thursday, but that one went twenty yards left of the green. [Reply]
