Fighting like beavers.
I've now seen the video, and it's more obvious than I thought it would be. It looks like she moves it further horizontally along the surface than vertically off the surface. Nobody would have noticed if it was a pick-up-and-clean situation, but since the ball barely leaves the ground it magnifies the horizontal movement.

I still don't approve of fan snitching. If a playing partner or official doesn't notice during the round, that should be the end of it. The scorecard penalty is also disproportionate when combined with fan snitching. It's fine if it's contemporaneous with the round since it encourages self-reporting.

There was probably a crater or booger there that she didn't feel like wasting even more time fixing, so she went around it......it was no big deal and why golf is dumb. Just last week I played a course where part of the green was hosed up from Feb flooding and it wasn't marked off at all by the course so for our tourney we said "gently caress it move your ball out of there no penalty".

Honma probably had a team of 50 goons holed up somewhere watching private Ultra HD feeds and "called" it in. :tinfoil:

Dude, you need to join one of the men's clubs around LA already. Aren't you out near Brookside or DeBell? Both have huge men's clubs with a bunch of guys in their 20s and 30s.

That might not help much with finding a golfer to marry, but it'll get you some younger guys to play with at least...

Brookside has young guys in the men's club? I'm out at 7:48 am every Sunday before the men's club starts and they're all old :P

And yeah, I probably should join a club. I like the guys I play with though!

I think the fitted dark green baseball hat with just the masters logo on it is super clean, but I can't justify getting one until I actually attend the Masters.

Agree. I've wanted one for years and I've known people who have gone, but it doesn't feel quite right until you can buy one yourself.

I had a loving great round today at forest hills in Augusta. We were like 2 miles from Augusta, prob the closest we'll ever get to playing there lol

Amazing course, awesome conditions, they just had a college championship there so the greens were running suuuuper fast but were in such great shape it didn't matter. Such a different course than anything in Florida.




I lipped out an eagle on 9 where I hit 3 wood/5 iron to about 10 feet. Just killing my 3 wood again, only used my driver twice and put it to within a foot from 125 on 13. All in all an awesome day/round and hopefully this weather doesn't get too bad for tomorrow.

Things you need - tickets, parking, food and drink - are affordable.

Things you don't - like leather coasters - not so much.

Tickets are affordable if you win them in the lottery or find a generous goon to hook you up lol :)

mattfl went to the merchandise tent first and I waited until after walking the back 9.

Well, just as I was about to finish, the course closed due to thunderstorms. They wouldn't let us use the merchandise shop or even the bathrooms.

Waiting in my car in the parking lot now. Hopefully we get a window of no rain so I can run back for the merch.

Ya that sucks man. We're in our car too hoping the bad stuff passes over quick and they re open.

We got to see quite a bit. TV does not due that course justice. Just unbelievable. I know Josh Lyman has better pics than me but I'll post mine up in the next few days. Followed DJ around for a short time right before they shut it down.

Not to be a safety goober or anything but the weather service is now forecasting a possibly large tornado outbreak this afternoon/evening centered on Augusta and surrounding parts of GA/SC. So if it gets stormy don't try to ride that poo poo out in your car or something.

They started letting us back in a little after noon. I went straight for the merch tent and got all my poo poo before they finally closed the course for good around 1:30pm.

We got back into the course around 1 and 15 minutes later they shut it down for the day. Now we are in parking lot hell not moving at all!

Josh Lyman sorry it was a lovely day but I hope you guys enjoyed your short time on the course. I know we did.

Kameh I got some pics of your boy Sergio on the putting green before we left, just for you :)

We got to walk the back 9 and were lucky to get our shopping done after the restart so we covered all the important stuff.

I'm freaking out that the fitted cap I got is the wrong size. I always assumed I was a 7 7/8 but that felt a bit loose. The 7 3/4 was snug but that might not be what I want in the long term??? I guess that's what happens when you've never worn a fitted cap before. :(

Ugh given that hats have always been too small for my head, I definitely should've gone with the 7 7/8.

I couldn't get the hat I wanted the most because it looked way too small, and it was even adjustable.

They didn't have any flat brim hats. That was a bit annoying.
