It's that time of year huddlers... PGA golf on our back porch.

I'll be on #5 again this year marshalling like we've done for the past couple of years.

Friday I'll be on #5 fairway and Saturday I'll be on #5 green and then Sunday ima spectate somewhere on the front probably.

If you're coming out let me know and stop by and see me.

As for the golf, I suspect Rory will have a good shot again this year.

Bubba and Graeme McDowell have dropped out... but still should be a good field.

I'll be rooting for Phil and or Dustin Johnson more than likely.

Here's the view down #5 fairway back towards the tee last year on Saturday.

I'm going Friday, I've never been to a golf match before. Can you tell me some dos and don'ts? Is there a dress code, is better to walk the course or hang out in a general area, is the beer expensive, what do I need to know?

I will be there on Friday and Saturday. The company I work for was one of the two original sponsors that helped bring the tournament to Charlotte...and we get tons of tickets.

Clubhouse access....great free food...and a free open bar. The only way to attend the tournament.

Most people attending wear golf shirts....but TShirt are allowed.

Many people pick a foursome and follow them....the top foursomes get big crowds and it is often hard to see.

We usually walk around....then follow a group for a few holes...then pick another good group and follow them for a few holes.

Towards the afternoon (when it is hot and we are tired), we usually park ourselves on the ground at 17....great Par 3 over the water. To make it interesting, we get a little side betting action going.

Each of us brings a bunch of ones. When each group approaches the tee box, each of us selects a golfer (we rotate who gets to pick first). Everyone throws a dollor in the pot and the closest to the pin (has to be on the green) wins the hole. We continue to let the pot ride all afternoon. We usually get a nice pile of cash between us and it gets interesting. Something to make it a little more enjoyable when the golfers that you have never heard of are playing.

Madhatter has a lot of good points... when I go to tournaments I usually pick a good viewing spot on a hole and sit. Following a group is tiring and it is hard to see. As far as what to wear, they're pretty lenient, but shorts and a golf shirt/tshirt is always good. It can get hot so take some sunscreen and a chair. They are allowing phones now, but no pics on tourney days and no calls unless you're in a designated call area and keep it on silent at all times. Marshals (ie me) will confiscate your phone if you break the rules. Usually we'll just warn you, but if you're a dick about it, we'll take it.

Quail Hollow is excellent for viewing the ladies too... lots of nice ones out scouting for golfers.

Thanks for the input guys! Nobody mentioned the beer though, is it expensive? :D Hey Biscuit, how do I find you, I'll stop and say howdy. I know you said you'd be on #5 fairway, but how will I know who you are?

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
