Pulling for Tiger.

Heres why:

Last year I bought 4 tickets to Sunday's final round to the PGA Championship. They were $90 each, I plan to sell at least 2.

If he wins, there will be a ton of momentum going into the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island, SC. Which means more people will be following it, and thus, the ticket prices will get much higher! And the more people = more revenue for our local economy!

Sweet, will do...I was gonna volunteer, but it was like $300 or something silly like that to get the outfit.

Yeah, it was like $225, but you get a shirt and hat and access to all 4 days even when you're not working... so we figured it was worth it. Plus I get inside the ropes too...

Same with Quail Hollow except it's only $85, this will be our 4th year marshalling there and that is a blast. Plus at QH, they give you $25 food vouchers per day you work too, so with the cost of the "uniform" you are pretty much reimbursed.

I'd LOVE to marshal the Masters, and we checked on it, but the only way to get on there is to know someone who already works there and be recommended.... maybe one day.

PGA is August 9-12, 2012 and it is on the Ocean Course.

If you're gonna come down Hawk, let me know.

My other line of thought on the PGA was that once I go to it... the only major I will have not been to is the British Open... so I may be buying plane tickets to England next year...

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
