I’m disappointed that Scheffler ran away with it. He played great but I was hoping someone would have stepped up and at least make it close. 

I like that kid from Sweden. He's going to be a player.

Yea. It was a low TV rating. Lacked the drama on the back nine. 

I don't know if you pay much attention to the LPGA but have you seen what Nelly Korda has been doing?  5 wins in a row including the season's first major yesterday.

Yes I heard. I don’t watch per say but I’m tuned into the pga sirius xm frequently.
 

So many great players on both tours so I’m not sure why golf ratings are low.

I think the PGA/LIV split has something to do with it and the general apathy towards women's sports explains the LPGA.

Went up and paid my membership yesterday, $1250. That’s a second year price, next year it goes up to the full boat price, $1799. 

Holy shit been out of the loop a long time. My membership to Richmond Country club was 225 in 1994. That was pricey too. But what a fantastic course literally in my backyard.  Used to fish in the morning walk to the clubhouse change and golf at 8 am. Miss it but damn expensive Holy crap Mr. Eaves

Mt course is about the same, but I don't get out enough to warrant the price. I get an associate membership which allows me to play in all course tournaments and sweeps and you get a cut rate when you play a round.

I haven't played Richmond in years. Always loved it. Nice spongy fairways.

Golf and skiing… seems similar to many season passes for skiing that aren’t on the cheap mega passes.

I wish there was a similar mega pass for golf. I’d snap one up in a heartbeat. There has been no significant golf consolidation, at least in this area. I’d love to be able to regularly play a rotation of courses as a “member”.

Two rounds in so far. Both at Overlook Golf Club in Hollis, NH. 82 & 79.

Another course I haven't played in years but enjoy. I had my worst single hole without a penalty ever . Might have been hole 10? Dog leg  left par 5 ? An 11! Just kept topping it for some God only knows reason.

Holes 1 & 10 are both dogleg left par 5s. 10 is harder because your tee shot can’t go far enough to see around the corner.

Been there, I forgot what hole at Hampden CC but it's around 600 yards, slight dogleg right, I would need three solid shots to be near the green and I didn't, don't remember the score but it wasn't good.

 If anyone would be interested in competing in an AmericanWx PGA Championship pool, please post about it in here or in the PGA Tour thread (in Sports forum) or like this post as I may do one in the PGA Tour thread if I have time:

 Last call to see if anyone wants to participate in AmericanWx PGA Championship pool. No money or prizes involved. Just for fun. 
 
 If interested pick 5 golfers for your team along with what score to par the winner of the tournament will have.

 For rules, check out PGA Tour thread in Sports Forum and see how I did the Masters. It will be similar though I’m going to handle the score for those who don’t make the cut/withdraw/get a. DQ differently. I’m going to give them the worst finishing score of all of those we pick in the pool.

 Please post your picks/score of tourney winner in the PGA Tour thread:
