I had some fun this morning @ Pebble Beach .... always a few surprises when I play that course! ;D
The greens are hard pins with medium speed ... that helps my putting a bit! (except) ..... when 2 putt's stopped an inch or so short! ;D OH (BTW) .... it is "Windy"!
I was sure I would have the first score entered as usual, but I submitted my finish (-7) and some guy (seegee) or something like that out pointed me ... (by a long shot) ... with his own (-7)
But "the Beach" is always fun ... I never seen a glitch there this year ... has anyone seen any there?

At least they were honest about the wind today. I've lost track of the number of times that it said calm but was actually windy

" WHISTLING STRAIGHTS" See, us "Old Fart's" can keep up with you "Young Gun's" on occasion! The EA game was not up for my morning run. So after work, I went to the locker room and yelled "SEVEHEAT ... YOUR IN THIS ONE"! I had some of those "YES" moments in this one. A couple lag putt's that found their way to the bottom of the cup. A back spin approach that dropped for an eagle! And no huge mistakes Proud as can be to tie Simon at the top along with Stu! I had not played the wind so well in a very long time. It was fun. (And no "SKI", they did not let me go from the WHITE TEE'S)!

Nice round Seve!
I wasn't able to get in any better than -9. The greens are really tough to read at Whistling Straits, especially when you leave yourself with 15 to 25 foot putts. Heading to the 18th I had already had about 4 putts that looked to be heading in but missed by inches. On 18 I left myself with another 25 footer and true to form my putt stopped 4 inches from the hole.
I only missed 1 fairway and I think only 1 green. I did mess up the 2nd par 5 with a poor pitch that left a 10 footer for birdie that I missed.

Still, you hold on to the "TMan" (old) putting now and then! ;D I'll always remember you that way bud! Hole 18! Let's talk hole 18! I'm sitting (-10) on the 18th tee, telling myself "straight and hard all the way to the pin". My drive was right where I wanted it, and my approach just needed to be one of those ... "be the wind" shots. Well .. the ball settled about 15 ft from the cup ... and of course the green has like 3 undulations surrounding the pin! ;D I don't want to 3 putt, but I want to sink it even more "for the outright lead". So I am going beyond that hole by hook or by crook! (i tell myself) Just happens I made it to the hole, but less than a foot to the right! ;D But I was so pleased with the round, I didn't seem to care much!

They finally had it posted this morning when I checked - more fun at Bethpage Black ;D
At least it's only hard pins and fast/hard greens.
Their servers were down late last night. It was probably my fault for peeking at the settings for the tour pro weekly at the Predator. I was thinking of giving round 1 a go for laughs and the golfing gods had to bring all their weight to stop it ;D

[glow=red,2,300] Me thinks TMan has a serious gal in his life, making the call on his availability for Wii golf!
He ditched the PTP's ... lost some playoff games unexpectedly ... excused himself from the weekly ... has been sparingly posting his otherwise usual banter ...
and now ... word has it, he is gaining weight every week! ;D[/glow]

TMan if you ever do do the weekly pro plz would you stream it for me. Being on holiday it's my worst nightmare to get this sort of weekly pro (I love TPX and the Predator ;D ) . I don't even know the sets so it would be great to watch you (I got a lot time ya know)
Having fun in the sun...
