April 7, 201511 yr Got some great news. For reaching our department revenue goal the company is sending us on a paid trip to San Diego, which includes a round of gold at Torrey Pines on their North course!
April 8, 201511 yr Torrey Pines is by far one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had waiting to play a pro course. Maybe you'll have a different experience.

It will, by far, be the best course that I have ever played so I can't really imagine being disappointed with it.

Just not in great shape. I put TPC Scottsdale in the same bucket. My favorite prime time course are Doral and Whistling Straits by far.

April 10, 201511 yr I caught a player on my team cheating. I watched him take a seven. Long story short, he turns in a four, verifies it with the marker, reads it to the score, signs his card. At this point I ask him to tell me the shots. BOOM! You are DQ'd and turn in your equipment.
April 10, 201511 yr Spieth is looking like he's taking away the drama of Masters Sunday. Need a blowup hole today.
April 10, 201511 yr Fantasy golf this week I have Speith, Johnson, Casey, and Donald. Definitely my best ever week in the making. Only 7% picked Paul Casey. I'm really surprised by that.

Good lesson there. You play against the course within the rules. Everything else is you cheating. Golf is a great life lesson in honestly.
April 11, 201511 yr It's 2015 and yet the world's most popular golf tournament still has limited TV coverage. Thanks Augusta.
April 22, 201510 yr This probably belongs in the video game thread but is anyone playing WGT? I'm almost addicted right now.
May 5, 201510 yr I had to switch contact lenses because what I had been wearing is no longer being manufactured. I really think it is hurting my golf game. My right (dominate) eye is adjusted for distance, my left for reading. In theory my brain will eventually learn to adjust and life will be wonderful. Meanwhile I can't seem to read greens
May 5, 201510 yr I got a chance to play in a charity golf tournament for the Boys and Girls Club of Atlanta yesterday. My boss couldn't go, so he asked me to fill in. Besides the fact that I got to take the day off work, it was a beautiful day (80 and sunny) and I played really well. And it didn't hurt that the course was well stocked with beer and other drinks/snacks. Now I just have to find a way to do this more often.

One of the major reasons I started to get more involved in golf was because I started getting invited to some of our corporate events. The state farm event at Cog Hill is just absurd. Free Beer/Food/Balls/Merch at every hole, huge lunch after the round, etc.
May 7, 201510 yr One company I worked for would have two or three group in the Monday ProAm at the Greater Milwaukee Open and one in the Wednesday. In 1996 we played well as a team but we lost to a team that had an amateur that was about to make his professional debut the next day, Eldrick Woods.
