2016-2017 PGA Tour Thread - Page 32 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

Greenbriar is a little weird to me, they always spend half the telecast hyping up the resort. I mean I guess it looks nice enough but it seems over the top. Then they always have commercials with PGA players talking about how the place is so special, they bought property there. Most recent one I saw is Phil Mickelson. Maybe I am cynical but it doesn't really seem like a Phil kind of place.

this all rings true. wasn't Tom Watson made the Golf Ambassador Emerius (or such) of the resort several years ago.

I'd feel the same way.

I think this mostly because I think it would be hilarious to see a caddy carrying a 400 pound bag. I'm a bad person.

That used to be the rule. I was reading a book about Bobby Jones and it talked about him beating someone in of the final of the US Am who had 22 clubs. Jones carried like 7 or 8.

This Portstewart course is pretty spectacular. Would love to get to Northern Ireland one day.

Also today, enjoyed Mickelson hitting some guy in the head after floating his approach shot. They made him sit in his lawn chair awkwardly using a bottled water as an ice pack.

Yeah they are pretty strong in the visually appealing department. It's standing on Tour is largely due to Sam Snead's strong ties with the TG through the years.

It's a nice place. A little stuffy imo. Golf wise it's solid though I think the nearby Homestead Cascades is a better golf course. That course is criminally underrated

Because you are still watching the golf channel?

Solid win unless they hole out. Will be rooting for him since we both lived in San Diego.

I like guys like Streb and Henley who have ugly swings but still get the job done. Too much emphasis on who has the prettiest swing.

When Xander first showed up on the leaderboard at Erin Hills a couple weeks ago I figured he was a random no name that would disappear. Guess that was way wrong.

Definitely lacking a star studded leaderboard this week. Its a shame because this seems like a cool course and a good tournament.

paging ntnBO... last week, Ollie Schniederjans was DQ'd from the Greenbrier for signing an incorrect scorecard. he was going to miss the cut by a stroke anyway. so no big deal right? or is there anything of significance in this scenario?
