So, Covers tells me there's a problem with the copy and paste function.  So I normally copy and paste my writeups, but it's not working, so here are my picks for now.  I will try and put in the writeups tomorrow, but right now me and Sacker are hanging out hammered.  Just finished recording the podcast, so all of our stuff is on there...download and listen, and you'll get all our stuff.  We leave his place tomorrow and go to Shinnecock, and we'll be there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  

He says Hi to everyone right now, but we've had enough Johnnie Black tonight to kill an elephant so he's not in any mood to post...lol.  

We'll be on twitter on on the website posting stuff all weekend.

Amazing first day.  I'll give you guys some things we saw.

-Weather was brutal for the morning guys...then even worse for the start of the afternoon guys.  But then around 5 or so, the wind died down a bunch so if you look, some of the late guys played great late.  Stenson was +4 and then finished the round shooting -3 for a total of +1.  Tomorrow's wind is going to be around 7-9 MPH, and then late afternoon be below 5 MPH.  I think we see lower scores tomorrow.

-We bet Beef ov Chappell, so we followed them for a few holes.  Beef was awesome.  Super nice, got a great pic with him, talked to the gallery, and seemed right at home.  He hit one in the fescue, took his medicine and double bogey...played the rest of the round 1 over which was impressive.

-Day was a train wreck in person.  So was Rory, Phil, and Spieth.  We couldn't follow the Phil group cause there's so many people there you can't see anything.

-The Tiger galleries are insanity.  I watched 2 holes, and couldn't take any more.  It's a complete circus.  I can't believe other guys can play golf in that environement.  You can't see how crazy it is on TV.  In person it's over the top.

-The 10th hole and the 2nd hole were crazy to watch.  Especially the 2nd.  It's basically not fair...lol.  I watched 12 guys in a row...11 of them bogey or worse.

-Good lord Brooks Koepka looks like he could play linebacker for the Ravens.  He's a beast.

-Me and Sacker parked at the parking area where you take the bus into Shinnecock.  We got on the bus at 6:15.  It's a 9.8 mile drive.  Traffic was so bad, it took us 2 hours to get there.  9.8 miles...2 hours.

-The group of Stenson, Adam Scott and Martin Kaymer had a very strange vibe and feel to it.  Stenson was either walking way behind or in front of them.  Scott and Kaymer were all over the place.  A couple times, Scott was away and Stenson hit.  Another time, he was so far behind his playing partners, they opened the fairway for people to walk through without noticing he was behind so he had to walk through us.  I was 4 feet from him...told him good luck, he smiled and said thanks.  As I was walking down the side, Scott hit one out of the fescue and missed my head by a foot.  I found his ball and stood there til he got up there and watched him hit.  It was pretty cool.  Got a great pic of it on twitter.

Our parlay to miss the cut of Wise, Smith, Harman, Hatton, List is pretty good right now.  +4 is the best score, and that's Harman.  List and Hatton at +5.  Wise and Smith terrible.  We'll probably follow them if it's close at the end of their round tomorrow.  If it hits, me and Sacker win $8,800, and we sell our tickets for Saturday and party tomorrow night and Saturday.

Ill check in with everyone tomorrow night!

Good shit. I keep wanting to go to a golf tournament, but I probably never will. It's hard to follow what's going on all over the place. It might be the best TV sport. I will say hockey is better in person and I only watch the Cup playoffs on TV. GL on that MC parlay, hopefully you won't miss it by 1 again.

Friday Thoughts

-I live in Indiana, and I'm used to weathermen screwing up forecasts.  The forecast today was the worst I've ever seen.  We woke up at 6:30 AM, and the forecast was nice morning, calm, slight chance of rain in the afternoon.  It rained for 2 hours in the morning, was windy, and then calmed down and was beautiful in the afternoon.  Complete opposite.

-Holy Christ did the morning guys get hosed.  They played in absolutely terrible conditions, and the afternoon guys got no wind, and soft greens.  What DJ and Fleetwood did in the morning was truly incredible.  Sacker and I think DJ is in a class all by himself on tour right now.  

-Up until this week, I was on the side of the galleries, and I thought the golfers were being babies complaining about galleries.  After this week, I need to rethink my position.  Poulter's implosion on the 8th hole was a direct result of the gallery...and the crazy part was it was his fans!!!!!  It's too much to go into detail here, but I'll go over it and the Tiger and Phil galleries on the pod on Tuesday.  I saw a lot of things that I never knew about until seeing it in person.

-Sacker is doubled up on Phil ov DeChambeau, and Grace ov DeChambeau bets.  Dechambeu made well over 100 feet in putts.  Believe me....I heard about it all day....lol.  No way Bryson does that again tomorrow.

-Bubba is really bad at links courses, we thought it before the tournament, and it played out here.  He was terrible, couldn't get anything going, and he even had the better tee times.

-Our big miss the cut parlay of List, Wise, Smith, Harman and Hatton got torpedoed with the weather.  List, Wise, Smith...morning today missed the cut.  Harman and Hatton make the cut...afternoon today.

-Jon Rahm is never going to win a major if he doesn't change something with his attitude after a bad shot.  I didn't watch a ton of him, but when you watch him, you can just see how mad he gets.  You see it on TV, but you don't see him when they cut away.  He's pouting, he walks mad down the fairway, doesn't talk to his caddie...it's really a bad look for him, and it absolutely affects his game.

I was having conversation with my Father in law about Speith when he made the 4 birdies on back.  I said unlike some guys(Bubba) even thought he knows he isn't winning he is grinding to make cut.  Rahm is a knucklehead, assume he will get better as he gets older but that type of personality wont win tourneys like this,
You sir are also a humanitarian as well.

-Shinnecock has been great.  The course looks fantastic, the prices of concessions are very reasonable, the souvenir shop is very well run, great products, not too expensive.  They fixed the shuttle situation today.  The ride yesterday took 2 hours.  Rides today were 45 minutes.  But boy did they mess up the crossing the fairways areas, and some of the roped off areas.  They're a disaster.  There are many areas where they funnel you into an area, and it ends up being a dead end, and you have to walk a mile to a crazy path they have for you.  And there aren't very many of them.  We waited 30 minutes at a crossing today because golfers kept coming through, and they wouldn't open the rope.  It's the one downside from this weekend.

-Favorite hole to watch this week is hole 10.  Guys drive it with an iron or wood into the fairway right before a huge hill.  A few guys try to drive it down the hill to have a short pitch, but it's up a huge hill.  And it's easy to put it over the green.  Bubba put it at the bottom of the hill, and it took him 3 shots to get it up.  Standing on that green was the best spot so far.  Hole 2 in the stands was awesome yesterday cause it was playing so hard.  But the rain softened up the green today, and guys were playing it much easier.
