May 13, 20187 yr Lurch.. you were all over the telecast on hole 11.. Really? I kept having to lift my 10yo. She couldn’t see above the crowd. It was insane out there
May 13, 20187 yr The crowd yelling “Go Tiger” at Harold all day was disappointing. This area is so much more diverse than Leander, but I’ve encountered a lot more blatant racism here.

The rowdy douche gallery golf fan is just above the jersey wearing fight-starting grown man football fan on the deplorable American sports fan spectrum.
May 14, 20187 yr Yeah, lots of drunk frat bros yelling their bababooey-type shit still. On the plus side, also lots of hooched up ladies
May 14, 20187 yr ill be at the Nelson for a couple of days, if any of you boys want a free cold one let me know. will have a tent hookup out there. looking forward to seeing the course for the first time. noah goodwin, a 17 year old got a sponsors exemption to play the Nelson. he and his family are members here at Oakmont and last year shot a freakin' 59 here. this kid is special and i expect big things from him. here is a blurb about him. Goodwin completed a stellar junior career by being named Rolex Junior Player of the Year in 2017. He is the fifth male in AJGA history to earn the title in consecutive years. The highlight of his junior career was winning the 2017 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. He is one of only three players to win the championship after losing in the final the year before. He represented the United States team in the 2017 Junior Presidents Cup and 2016 Junior Ryder Cup. He will play college golf for SMU.
May 14, 20187 yr Going to try to get out there one day this wknd. Coming back from Port A early Sat. Looks like Jordan, DJ, Jason Day, Sergio, Patrick Reed, Matt Kuchar are all in. Think they said eight of the top 19 were playing. Any word on the course- what kind of shape it's going to be in? Edited May 14, 20187 yr by LosIllini
May 14, 20187 yr Missing the first Byron Nelson at the new course. Flying to Savannah tomorrow to play courses on Hilton Head island Wed/Thur/Fri. Acceptable trade off.

Disappointing field really. I’m thinking a lot of them are taking a wait and see attitude about this new venue

I have been on the course and it is a complete departure from the old venue. No trees, no shade. Links style course. On 5/2/2018 at 9:22 AM, DDD Dad said: Fare. I predict the pros will EAT IT UP. May is not the time for that course. Greens will be softer and slower than desired, and the pros will be taking target practice out there. Birdie fest. The only hope is if they get 20-30 mph steady winds with higher gusts. Needs to be played in September if they want to make par relevant. 5 hours ago, LosIllini said: Going to try to get out there one day this wknd. Coming back from Port A early Sat.

Andy Johnson (The Fried Egg podcast and Twitter account) posted today that early word is they doused the course to slow down conditions. He reports that it's "fear of player complaints driving the decision." In fairness, expected temps this week are in the high 90's-100 Thursday-Friday.
May 15, 20187 yr Rather interesting that they decided to begin an overwatering campaign ahead of the tournament. Would have been better to keep it fast and difficult. The social media comments are just brutal about them softening the course. Weather will be dry and hot. The sand it is built upon dries quickly as well. Add to the equation that they are having a hard time getting their bermuda to grow. I plan on being out there Saturday. Hopefully the city will not be moving trash at the nearby McCommas Bluff landfill during the event. The smell can be bad on a strong southerly wind day.
May 15, 20187 yr I played out there last summer (posted pics on Shaggy). Didn't notice any smell until I got to the east and southeast portions of the course (13 green to 15 tee). It was noticeable and quite off putting.
May 15, 20187 yr Author Tee times are out. Thursday Spieth, Walker, & G-Mac 12:50pmhttps://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/at-t-byron-nelson/tee-times.html
May 15, 20187 yr Attempting to go out early either Thursday or Friday and just walk the course. Little one and preggo at home holding back our usual family Saturday out there. Timing never worked out and I missed out of the invites to get your there to play so I really just want to see how this layout looks in person. It is pretty funny talking to folks this week, everyone is a bit lost on plans and tickets. It’s like you spend your professional career knowing who to mooch off of with the best set up, or years working on the best day and option to take customers....and once you have it down pat they go and change everything up on ya!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

May 16, 20187 yr In fairness, she isn’t wrong. She is just an asshole. Besides. She married the us open champ, not a guy with conditional status on the pga tour
May 16, 20187 yr Holy shit, If there was ever anything that would get me to hit a woman that scenario sounds like it could be it. Can’t imagine being married to and having kids with that shitty of a person.
May 16, 20187 yr Maybe the deputy was kind enough to reach in her purse and give Lucas is balls back. Starts arguments with him when he plays poorly? Fuuuck no. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
May 16, 20187 yr holy shit what a story. i thought i knew some horrible rotten cunts..and i do... but this one is up there. i bet it has been a while since he got a blow job. from her anyway.

I think they created their own zoysia strain which is now being used all over the world. I hope it's playing firm and fast and they were just testing to see how different it might play if they were to get rain.

It has not been growing and they had to spray paint it green for the tournament.
May 16, 20187 yr Pretty weak field. There are a lot more used to be big names in the field (Els, Duval, Harrington, etc.)than there are big names. (Spieth, Hidecki, Garcia and that's about it.)

(his last win was 2001, with 4 top tens since 2003) Harrington and Els are in the field, playing together Thur/Fri Your point is correct though - any event with Bowditch, Omar and Lumpy Herron is a pretty weak field

May 17, 20187 yr I have a real bad feeling that this is going to be a disaster. Parking looks to be a mess, even if you want to UBER there is a shuttle that is not very close at all. With record heat coming and very little shade this could be awful....that being said I am gonna give it a whirl early in the am and walk 18 before lunch time.
May 17, 20187 yr After seeing what the Euro and Asian tour play on a weekly basis I laugh every fucking time I hear someone bitch about course conditions. When the winner pockets damn near a million shut your pie hole and tee it up. We have gotten far to fancy for ourselves demanding every track look like Augusta. But that is unrealistic. Few have that type of capital to groom every blade. And that isn’t even the spirt of the game. Having a bad lie is just part of it. Everyone is playing the same track. And if your ass can’t figure out how to adjust to thin lies, bad greens and rough that hasn’t been touched by a mower or chemicals, tough shit. Go find something else to earn a living. Those that are mentally tough enough will manage. Those who don’t will blame the course. Same as it’s always been.
May 17, 20187 yr Going out tomorrow. If I didn’t have a credential to park on site i most certainly would think twice about going with the current parking situation. Curious to see this thing.
