Since it's a "local" tournament and since I will be there... I thought I'd go ahead and start a thread.

Looks like the field is going to be pretty good and we'll have good weather.

I'll be going up there tomorrow afternoon and will be working the tournament Friday and Saturday. If you get out to the tourney look me up... I'll be a marshal on #5

I don't know exactly where I'll be on that hole, but I'll probably move around some so just ask the other marshall's where Scott is.

I'll probably be there Sunday as a spectator unless they really need more help.

Don't get loud around there either or I'll throw your ass out... :D

Can you bring some weed?

In all seriousness please report back on crowd interaction with Tiger.

:lol: Yeah, I'll let you know... I don't expect there to be much, but this tournament is much less controlled than the Masters, so there may be some people who say something to him.

I'll be expecting the hot chicks in sundresses pics...you can PM them...thanks...

Dude, no doubt... It'll be tough this year, they are supposedly going to have metal detectors at the entrances, so it'll be much tougher to get a device in there. Last year they just half-assedly wanded people so there were a lot of phones and cameras on the grounds.

You'll just have to come see 'em for yourself.

you aren't allowed to bring a camera?

Not during during the actual tourny (Thurs-Sun). It would be a big distraction to hear a bunch of cameras taking pictures as you were going into your backswing.

Son and I would always go to the practice round on Tues or the Pro Am on Wed and take pictures/autographs. Got some great pics with Tiger and Jordan together when they played the pro am.

JR's right... that's a rule everywhere... it's a good rule too, those guys have to put up with a lot anyway, I can't imagine trying to play golf with 100 cameras snapping and flashing during every swing.

Even the pro photographers there have to watch it and not snap during the swing.

well...I think it's nuts! I understand fully that golf is as much as or even more of a mental sport than a physical sport...I get that...but the whole constantly be quiet and can't even take a picture...come on...thats nuts!

Maybe it would be more of a "sport" instead of a hobby if the people paying the big $$$ can make some noise and cheer their fans and poo. Seriously...what other "sport" do you have to be quiet at, other than a panther home game during wine and cheese hour.

It would also be cool if your opponents could block your ball from going into the cup or tackle you as you were about to take a swing ........... but that is just not how golf is played.....when someone is about to tee off, you are not allowed to speak and they even stop people in the area from walking. So not only can you not take a picture, but you aren't allowed to move.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
