    Firestone is a flat ass slog through 18 identical holes

    I am a big Muirfield guy though

    Lot of courses don't want tournaments

    Half the issue with the tour courses is the time of year that they play them in. Muirfied in May gets soaked every year it seems like. Pebble in February is beyond soft. FedEx cup in humid and rainy east coast sucks. West coast courses in August are awesome, hard and fast which is the best tv experience. The players hate it though. They really should have a rotating spot out west that time of year. The Napa tourney in September that gets no one good playing is one of those the sneaky better ones to watch every year.

    Mickelson had to apologize for calling the Saudi's "Scary Mother fuckers" and lost sponsorships as a result.

    Harold Warner III won the Saudi tournament that Dustin Johnson and others played in

    Phil is a lightning rod.

    Back to oil. Word is that the Saudi's are toying with the idea of accepting the Yen as payment for oil.

    Hope no one here likes their money much...

    Can we get back to talking about golf?

    Golf will only be played by rich Chinese people.

    I hate it that they moved the PGA Championship to May from August and kicked the Players back to March. Seems like it phucked up both events. Why the PGA wanted to have the PGA Championship in the South or Midwest in August was stupid. The 1998 Championship at Sahalee CC was a great event. Lots of great courses in North Cali and Oregon and Washington.

    Saudi executions to where the PGA should be played….you can’t get this anywhere else. More than worth $10.95

    Pumpkin Ridge just got selected as the second stop on Normans Saudi Tour. Outrage on the Twitter that Portland of all places would sell out to a foreign dictatorship that doesn’t support climate change or human rights.

    The schedule is crafted to be during the Quad Cities or whatever then the fall. No direct competition

    Telling

    Also no word on who is playing

    Norman should have got Chinese money. NBC and golf don't have an issue with that

    The Saudis are the bad, bad guys. China is pretty cool and stuff

    Lots of top courses (Bandon et al) are in the middle of nowhere. They are also pushing the public course angle. Worked for Beth Paige Black not so much for the Chambers Bay disaster.


    What has been the disaster at Chambers Bay? I played it 5 or 6 years ago and it was in terrible shape.

    That, and it looked like sh*t on TV. Players and fans spraining or breaking ankles on the slopes with horrible viewing areas.

    I thought it looked awesome all browned out.

    Chambers is a far better course than Sawgrass which the players love (or get paid to pretend to).
