Yes, Summit. I’m up for a round at RU too. Maybe double or nothing?
You lost out on the Phil bet. Lol.
A round at RU sounds great but I work weekends. If you can do Wednesday maybe I can talk Mr Hole In One, @RUScrew85 to break away from Mercer Oaks one of these days.

“I told my girls, ‘My dad would always hit it right over the bunkers,'” Jack Nicklaus Jr. said, “and that’s what Tiger did.”

Nicklaus had the best view of the only Masters moment that rivals this one for history and drama. He was carrying the clubs for his father in 1986 when the 46-year-old Golden Bear made his run on the back nine to win his sixth green jacket. Now, he was here with his daughters, watching history unfold again.

“Dad’s been glued to the TV set all day, I promise you,” Jack Jr. said.

The 79-year-old legend would confirm later that he was watching during a fishing trip in the Bahamas, and that when Molinari found water and Woods found the green, he summed up the 2019 Masters in two words: “It’s over


Heck of an article from Politi:

Never had a hole in one.....did come within 3/4 of an inch at i think 9th hole at fox hollow (over water) during police outing. I would have won a Cadillax Escalade P/U truck with another rotation spun it back like 10ft just remember the guy watching the hole with both his hands on his head couldnt belive it stopped les than 3/4" short

Great little course at Fox Hollow in Somerset County. #9 is a great par 3 over water near the clubhouse.

We used to sit on the outdoor deck overlooking the par 3 18th after our round, betting on which color shirt would get closest to the pin. Alcohol was definitely involved.

18 is definitely back in play if Tiger can stay healthy. Don't think he's going to dominate ever again, but I could see him winning one major every year or two for the next few years to get close to 18. Going to be fun to watch and it's great for the game to have Tiger back. Still feel bad for Molinari - hate seeing guys lose a tournament that way - those two doubles were so uncharacteristic for him. Would've been fascinating to see the ending if he hadn't made doubles, but maybe just made bogeys.

A lot of good players nut up at the end of the majors.

The best ever in swimming (Michael Phelps in white shirt and hat), also a fallen hero with demons who made a comeback, cheering on another GOAT.

That "Flo" from Progressive looking women was parked in that spot all 4 days.

I’ll give you the same chance I gave to bus and go double or nothing on the course. Coming out this way anytime soon?

I am back this weekend. Unfortunately, it's for a really short time, though I still can't play with my recovery. Close though. Look forward to getting out there some time with you.

Lol.

Must say, the weather really served it up for Tiger. Not only does it soften the greens, but the threat of bad weather forced threesomes, putting him in the final group (a big advantage), allowing him to put pressure on Finau & Molinari in person, & avoid Poulter.

Speaking of pressure, on one of the holes Tiger and his caddy were beyond the tee box as Molinari hit. It seemed he wanted to be where Molinari could see him while teeing off. I just assumed you had to be even or behind the tee box when another player is teeing off. I think it was before Molinari fell apart.
