RE: FORE Golf - Grumpy - 07-25-2016

Welcome to the 2016 PGA Championship FORE Golf Challenge! Please pick one past champion, one Club Professional, and 2 discretionary players of your choice. A sample roster would be....

Past champion - Keegan Bradley
Club Pro - Tommy Sharp
Discretionary #1 - Jordan Spieth
Discretionary #2 - Dustin Johnson

As always, if a player misses the cut, we simply add 10 strokes to that players total.

RE: FORE Golf - Harbinger - 07-25-2016

I finished last place in the British Open. Maybe these guys will make the cut this time. Not making the cut really hurts. Anyway, I'll try again with hopefully more conservative picks.

Past Champion - Jason Day
Club Pro - Johan Kok
Discretionary #1 - Dustin Johnson
Discretionary #2 - Henrik Stenson

Please double check my official roster and let me know if I have made mistakes! So far the Club Pro's are scores are mostly over PAR. I got my ticket for tomorrow in the mail last night so hopefully I can get some good pics to share of Paulina Gretzsky

RE: FORE Golf - Grumpy - 07-29-2016

WHOA...who could have predicted that DJ (owned by 5 of the 9 participants) would be T143 and +7 after the first round. Good thing I am going up to the Tourney today, because I get the feeling that DJ a Paulina won't be around for the weekend.

It raining pretty hard here in New Jersey but looks like the worst of it should be past by mid morning. Hopefully I can figure out how to post some pics from the course.

Thanks for participating!

you know you're in trouble when the club pro you picked at random because you have no clue who those guys are is #2 in your group!

RE: FORE Golf - Grumpy - 07-30-2016

Oh what a crazy DAY at the 2016 PGA championship. First off, after seeing these guys live, I am simply giving up the sport. Its literally like watching someone have a cheat code for a video game. 300+ yard drive in the fairway, GIR, sink putt.

After sitting on a shuttle bus for 40 minutes, I arrived at the grounds in mid morning after the rain ended (as everyone else). I chose to wear an old pair of golf shoes with soft spikes knowing I'd be "mudding it" instead of ruining another pair of sneakers. First thing most people realized on the way into the venue, "damn I shouldn't have worn these flip flops." Three women went down before I even saw the PGA championship entrance.

Baltusrol was built in the 1920's, when spectators attending events just wasn't on the architects mind. That said, if not for New Jerseyan's being used to crowds, Claustrophobia would definitely describe the scene. For the first 2 hours, I pretty much camped between 17 green, 18 tee, and 5 Green.

After watching several major winners come up hole 5, Spieth, Stenson, Dustin, Danny Willet, Justin Rose, I ventured down to the Wanamaker Club for lunch. This was the biggest disappointment of the day. Way overpriced for what you get access to. After knocking back 2 Brooklyn lagers, and some sliders for $32, I made my way down the
3rd hole to see the far point of the course, and also catch Rory, Phil and Jason Day tee off on 1. Unbelievably, I have Mickelson this week on my team, and the first shot I watched him hit was OB #1 (LOL we think the market is brutal).

I decided that I would start @ #1 and hike the course with the premier groups. So I skipped ahead back to #3 to get a good spot. I took this shot of Day & Phil from inside the Wannamaker club through a window.

[attachment=41144]

Once again, I skipped up to #5 to keep ahead of the Phil, Rory, Day group to find the group of Brooks Koepka, Lee Westwood, and Brandt Snedecker, and virtually no people following this group. HMMM. They were all playing well, I have Koepka this week, maybe I should just stick with this group. So I decided to not fight the overcrowded course and enjoy the walk as they say. Sned's was on fire, shooting a 66, Koepka looked to have an injured ankle, and still shot a 67, and Westwood shot a 70 (I also chased him into the port o pots on 12, which he 3 putt'd for bogey shortly after). Weird I know.

All in all, this was the best experience I have enjoyed in quite some time. I have been absolutely killed in the market for 15 months and haven't enjoyed much in that time. I will hopefully be able to draw some valuable life introspection from this little mini adventure at Baltusrol. Good Luck Bastages!

RE: FORE Golf - Grumpy - 07-31-2016

Congrats to our 2016 Champion Simpleman! Awesome lineup. It was a rainy week full of delays, but all in all, we made it thru. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to play my silly game, and hopefully you'll all play the 2016 Olympics challenge. I am still pondering the rules, but this one only comes every 4 years, so we'll need to make it special.
