Scottie just hit out of a bunker at the green. The ball hit a sprinkler head at the edge of the green and bounced and ran across the green into the water. Second time I have seen a sprinkler head alter a shot in this tournament. They need to cover those things.

Like a machine. The other guys have to be wondering what they need to do. Even the announcers seem disinterested.

Rory allegedly thought so.

You run into GPIII out there anywhere?

I texted with him some. He's too busy hobnobbing it up in the tent with A/C on 18.

Saw that. Similar things have happened to me of a course a time or two. Ricochet into a bunker. Infuriating.

Figured I'd ask this here. What are some of the better courses to play in NWA? Playing the day before the Georgia game. I know Blessings and Pinnacle, but outside of that. Anywhere from Bella Vista to Fayetteville as home base will be in Rogers that weekend.

.  Outside of Blessings / Pinnacle next best options would be Stonebridge or Shadow Valley.  BV courses are fine but pretty crowded.   Always have Paradise Valley or Lost Springs for the "fancy" Lindsey courses.  Otherwise it's the creeks or the small Lindsey apartment courses

Thanks!

Thanks!

you bet.  Hit em straight or at least drink enough that they look straight

For just 9 holes it's hard to beat brush Creek in Springdale, but it is also usually crowded.

Lonnie is sitting on a gold mine there.

Ironclad rule of golf coverage:

If they cut to showing a player not on the leaderboard hit a chip around the green, the ball is going in.

Happened twice on CBS in the last 15 minutes.

Played the North course at Cherokee Village yesterday and was surprised at how good of shape it was in.  Greens were slow but covered and smooth.  Always had a good lie in the fairway. 

Wasn't terrible for my first round of the year and second time to swing a club post rotator cuff surgery.  Couldn't putt for shit but I hit the ball pretty well.  It seems like the weight lifting is finally translating to the course as I've added about ten yards to each of my iron shots.

Did you get the proverbial, "stay out of the gym" smart ass comment on any over shots?

I didn't hit it that damn far.

Shot a 78 yesterday and playing some of the best golf I ever have.

I saw a guy online a bit back who said you should play a three man scramble with yourself.  Play three balls and see what you score.  I did that and shot a 66.  Ever since that day, I've gone from 85'ish to 80'ish and high 70s.

Just knowing those shots are in the bag seemed to help me focus on everything better.  Several times while doing the three ball deal I hit two mediocre to bad shots and then really had to focus on number three.  That seems to have translated to my overall game.

Heard a similar (but reverse) story of someone who supposedly met Arnold Palmer. The guy was a pretty good scratch golfer and mentioned maybe going for the PGA Senior Tour.

Arnie's advice was, hit two balls for every shot. Play worst ball. If you score 75 or better, OK you can think about it.

Consistency.

Wow, that sound like a good way to get better.

It would not be any fun, more like torture.
