I updated the spreadsheet if you want to have a look. I'm now in third behind a pair of perverts.

I just got back from a quick simulator session. The place had a cool special where you put in 10 bucks, randomly assigned a tour pro and play the back 9 at Valhalla on the simulator. You couple your score with the pro's best score throughout the week.

I entered and got Shane Lowry, which is pretty good. They had the entire field in there, so there are some stinker choices... I ended up shooting 5 over on the simulator --two doubles and one bogey. 6 pars.

They had this auto putt thing where you basically had to stick it to ~4' on every approach shot otherwise it was an automatic two-putt. I can never chip on the simulators, it's not a strong point in my game anyways, but I just don't know how hard to hit it. On the doubles, I missed the green with the approach, and had to chip twice because both times I over shot the landing spot.

Bit of an update. Lowry went 6 under on the front 9 on Saturday. I ended up winning the special..Not many joined in, I only ended up winning 50 bucks, but it's still pretty cool.

That's quite the tough look for the Louisville PD right there....seems like someone told a bit of a lie

The cop has a longer rap sheet than Scheffler


My personal fav is the caught doing donuts with a 'drunk civilian' in the car.

This cop sounds like one of the cops from Superbad. Donuts in the car with a drunk civilian is an all time move. Can't get mad at him for that

Grayson Murray died this morning after withdrawing from the Schwab yesterday.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

30 years old and he died by his own hands. So sad. Condolences to the family. RIP

18 yr old kid from my club is playing in final qualifying for US open today. Pretty wild.

Hes still not the best lefty at his club tho

 

[gertbfrobe16]

Shout out to the Lancaster C.C. for another great U.S. Womans Open.

Can I trade Sam Burns for literally anyone else?

totally feels like Spieth hold my beer moment lol

I played golf today. One of the guys hit a bird. And by that I mean a real bird.

He hired his 2nd shot that was landing shots of the green but right on line to hop up onto it. However, it hit a bird who was just there minding his business. The bird didn't move after being hit while 2 of us took our 2nd shots. As we approached the green, he finally flew off, likely a little dazed.

When I was ~8 I hit a drive farther than my dad for the first time. It was a blind tee shot up a hill.

I hit a pretty good drive for me at the time, but when we got over the hill there was a ball in the middle of the fairway well shorter than we expected for my shot.

We get up to the ball and it's not mine... it's my dad's ball and ended up significantly shorter than his regular drives because it hit a bird... evidenced by said bird motionless about 20 yards away... this bird did not get up and fly away...

Damn, MacKenzie Hughes went 72-82.

 

[Tripod]

1st, 7th, 12th from my 3 guys who made the cut.

Need a big day tomorrow to keep this lead!

 

[Cody Webster]

For the first time I've had all 4 guys make the weekend. Terrible day for Fitzpatrick puts him tied for last, then I've got T32, T20 and T2. Perhaps a chance of not finishing last

 

[Tripod]

McIlroy gonna win

 

[Cody Webster]

Come on Bryson

 

[Tripod]

Come on Bryson

I have Bryson in another pool which is using the prize money...so 1st vs 2nd is a big gap.

In our pool here, no real difference

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Man, Bryson picked a bad time to feel the pressure. Momentum was turning towards him.

Snap, Rory gives it right back.

Rory doing Rory things. Wheels falling off.

My suggestion of switching to finish number instead of prize money may be to my detriment this year.

I had three guys in the top 10 most of the tournament. Aberg and Bhatia slipped a bit today.

The universe finally paid him back for all the fairways he's missed
