Narps Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Congrats to Zack Johnson for winning the Northwest Mutual in a playoff today. Going into the fourth round, Tiger Woods was in the lead, but he was outscored and lost. This was one of those silly season tournaments with only 18 players competing, but it was fun to watch. I'm looking forward to the 2014 PGA season.Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I don't know who around this forum really loves the game of golf but I certainly do. I know way more about golf, the players, trivia, it's history than any one human should be allowed. If we talk golf, I will be around. Consider yourselves forewarned.... :P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to your participation in the PGA discussion, and golf in general. If you review this topic, you'll see a few of us follow it. As for me, I suck at playing, but I love watching the PGA (and some LPGA). I used to watch in the 70's, then stopped. I started again with the 2000 Players (where Hal 'Be the right club today' Sutton won), and I've been addicted since. My favorite tournament is the US Open, for which I even book 2 days vacation from work so I can attach to my tv, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife actually will watch with me when Tiger and Phil are playing. The majors mostly. She really enjoys the drama. Way, way back she would go to the Kemper Open with me in the DC area. It was awesome when they played at Congressional. All the best players came then. Of course they had to move it to TPC Avenel and the best gradually stopped coming..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby is also a golf fan, but I out obsess him... he'll do any necessary chores during the majors and let me watch...I think watching The Open may be my favorite. If only because it's so foreign (rimshot!!!) to me. The courses just look so different and one day I must play in Scotland. I'm an architecture geek and love studying those courses. Â One day, maybe 20 years ago, a buddy and me were close to Augusta...so we drove to Augusta National but it's wrapped by a tall wall and you can't see anything. No surprise there. So we drove up to the gate and asked if we could drive down magnolia lane and to no one's surprise the guard said "NO". By that point a big ol' Cadillac had pulled in behind us in our ever so fashionable Chevy Lumina. He was clearly impatient to get inside to the guard made us pull in and then back out after the caddy went by. We were at the end of the driving range. That was pretty cool. Especially since right across the street was a piece of crap strip mall with a "Heck's" as the anchor store (if you even know what they are).

I just wanted to see the frick'in place and they wouldn't let me even drive to the clubhouse. I was one golfer not showing up for their tee time away from playing Pebble Beach once also. Sat by the first tee for 6 hrs and never got on . I settled for Spanish Bay that day which was awesome but not quite the same.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new one for 2014 will be started... new ones get created each season for the NHL, MLB, etc.Personally, I'm not into this 'wrap around season'. I'm looking forward to your comments (as well as everyone else who follows the PGA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
