I didn't realize Hazeltine is in the boonies.
I think the Solheim in Des Moines will be well attended.

Well you guys can look for me in a USA hockey jersey tomorrow but I bet there will be about 1000 of them there.
Getting up before the grounds crew to try to make the first tee.

I haven't seen the Golf Channel's build up but I hope they've mentioned one of my favorites, Dave Hill and his comments about Hazeltine on the way to finishing 2nd at the US Open in 1970.
From his obit:
Asked what he thought of Hazeltine, designed by Robert Trent Jones, he replied, “I’m still looking for it.”
Hill criticized Hazeltine’s many dogleg holes. He said the course was missing “only 80 acres of corn and a few cows to be a good farm.”

Woo hoo, Jelly Face Reed and Jordan are now 3-up after seven holes! ********* Dave Hill's comments from the old days were a public service...due to numerous re-designs and facelifts, Hazeltine today looks nothing like the 1970 version. The article below on Hill includes these gems: Yes, [Robert Trent] Jones had the blueprints upside down when he built the place." Hill thought for a moment. "One more thing about Mr. Jones. Most people in the country think that Robert Trent Jones is Robert Tyre Jones Jr., the great amateur golfer. They think it's 'that great amateur' who is building the golf courses. Huh. What Trent Jones knows about building golf courses George Washington knew about building the Model T Ford."www.si.com/vault/1970/08/10/610907/plain-words-at-westchester

Dave Hill was a hell of a golfer and what a character.

Looks like Europe woke up this afternoon, so we might have a competition after all. It seems that the post-swing shouts of "baba-booey" and "mashed potatoes" have been replaced by "backwater" and "Daddy's home."

I've only been able to watch bits and p[arts while painting the house. Amazing size galleries for a FAKE exhibition considering no one lives nearby.
If the Int'l Crown can't pull in galleries like this....we know it's a sham and lie how popular women's golf is in Korea....10M people live in Seoul.

So I turn on NBC and who's voice do I hear first? Tom Abbott.
So much for watching Ryder Cup. Think I'll go play 18 if the weather holds up.

Exhibition or not, the RC has become bigger than the majors. When tiger woods , who normally doesn't give a sxxx about anything but Tiger woods, volunteers to be an assistant, it just shows the magnitude of the event.

That's because Perkin's waitresses were offered as a side benefit and DLIII said he'd also pay for the gratuities too.....win...win for Eldrick.
