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?

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
