    Jordan hits the 2nd shot in the pond.
    Jordan just has a Sunday problem.

    DeChambesu says other than him no body knows how to use those greens books correctly! :rolleyes:

    This is kind of like measuring Johnny Unitas against Tom Brady. Unitas called of his own plays with very little input, Brady calls none of his own plays and only checks off within certain parameters. Today's golfers have the whole course scoped out for them and even the degrees of slope on the greens.

    Jack's Memorial Tournament this week. I've always liked this tournament. The course if beautiful and Jack's there and gets in the booth and gives some commentary.

    I see the British Amateur, Joe Long (is that a great name for a golfer) is in the field. He played in the Masters as well this year. He's the only Amateur in the field. He didn't make the cut at Augusta. I play with a guy who also has a great name for a golfer (not), Bob Shank! He's really a good steady player and rarely shanks though!

    I was reading an article about the changes Jack made on the course over the last two years. Cost was approximately 10 million dollars, but Jack thought it needed to be done. I am anxious to hear what the players have to say after the tournament.o_O

    Terry, not really at this point at least in our area, about 20 miles from the Murfield golf course. However they can literally appear overnight in some areas.o_O

    John Rahm was in a commanding lead as he walked off the 18th green... except the PGA Tour medical staff informed he was Covid positive and he was is disqualified.

    So I have a Draft Kings team that is doing really well and I'm high in the money. Of course it's because I have Rahm on my team.

    Good question, he's not very smart if he isn't. I mean the players don't social distance anymore the fans are almost back to normal and they are not masked.
