    FORE! The 108th PGA Championship @ Aronimink GC

    I haven't read anything on it yet, but based on your brief summary, I like it. 120 with 16 events feels like a good, fair number. I could even be talked into less than 16 if they had full participation in, say, 12 quality events. I don't really care about Track 2, and I wish the Tour wouldn't...

    They have buried the ZZL over here, so it's impossible to find unless you know it exists and go looking for it. No one who joins this site as a new member will even know it exists. And obviously some people didn't migrate over after the switch, so we lost all of them. But the biggest issue is...

    Interesting to hear your report from 12 Oaks since you were already exhausted. 12 Oaks is hard as hell. I played Chapel Ridge two weeks ago and agree it was in pretty good shape. Tee boxes were terrible (not a big deal) and the bunkers were still a work in progress but the crew was working in...

    Man, really tough ending for the UNC men in the ACC semifinal match. Battled back and had the momentum. Won one match in extra holes to make it 2-2, and then Roscich hit it to about 10 feet on the first extra hole to give a great look at birdie to advance. Before he does, UVA player drills a 30...

    Pinehurst recommendations

    First time I ever ordered it the waiter set my plate down and started to take my knife away from the table. I said, "I need that for the pork chop." He smiled and said, "No you don't."

    Canes

    I actually think the opposite is true of the NHL more than just about any other sport. Probably not the NFL just because the margins are so thin and it's one game, but in the NHL it feels like the best regular season team rarely wins. I think that's less true lately with the Panthers and...

    I'd pay 5X to avoid the verbal abuse I would have to endure from my friends for playing Kirkland equipment.

    Street Sweepers?

    Wow. They used to clean our street in Durham seemingly weekly and I was surprised at how often they came by. I never thought about the sewage system. I thought it was overkill.

    Pinehurst recommendations

    Probably depends on availability, but 8 and 4 are the two best courses (by far) you aren't already playing. After that, I would rank them... 9 7 6 5 I can't remember if 7, 8, 9 are still members only though. Don't think they are. Obviously you need to get a round or two in at the Cradle. Does...

    Request during outages

    Just a suggestion, but it would be helpful during site outages if IC tweeted about them so we know whether the issue is on our end or the site's end.

    Apparently there were no injuries, but I've never met anyone who wants to die in a car crash more than Tiger Woods.

    Isn't Paschal the original Wake Forest course that Arnie played when he was in college?

    NLU was having a discussion last week about whether he's currently the second best American golfer and it's a pretty legitimate argument to make, depending on how you weight BDC in LIV events.
