Running 2024 golf thread

I think it’d be awesome for it to be a permanent stop.
When I was out there in 99, it was the week after Tiger won the PGA at Medinah. Field was stacked.
Tiger, Phil, Duval, Els, Sergio, Vijay etc etc.
If memory serves……it was the week after the PGA and the week before Bridgestone.

 

This is why the Hardy family stopped the 84 Lumber Classic. PGA originally gave them a fall date that competed against college football and the NFL but said they would move it to fall, then changed their minds.

 

It was a fun week, though the hills were a bit much for me. I wasn't born a mountain goat.

 

As Tony Soprano once said, "This is why we have a fixed-bid club. Because everyone has a story."

 

All Maggie Hardy wanted was what should have been given to her Fawwwtha.

 

Absolutely miserable weather at East Lake the past two days but typical for late August in Atlanta. I had an appointment halfway between here and the golf course and it was 95 in the shade. It was 91 here in the mountains until about an hour ago, when we got a severe thunderstorm that cooled things off about 15 degrees.

Can't imagine walking that golf course in this heat, let alone carrying a 50-pound bag.

 

It’s not often a player has a season like Xander Schauffele, great all year and won two majors… and he’s clearly not Player of the Year.

Scottie Scheffler was so dominant. And the whole arrest saga. One year of Tiger-like prime.

Despite all of the business issues, it was a helluva fun season for golf fans.

 

Wow, Scheffler won $25 million yesterday. Truly riveting stuff. I am sure the $25 million will change his life in exactly zero ways.
