BTW the camera adds 150lbs...:gross:
...then I am NOT going to go Saturday to watch the 'televised' card. I'd hate to be seen on video without the extra 150!

Yep, I saw ya! Sorry to see Matt struggle today, but I think everybody recognized (& the announcers talked about it) how quickly Idlewild can cost even the best players a lot of strokes.
Still, and even with the rain and obvious humidity, the place looks really good. Thank You Bill Alich and Fred Salaz, plus everyone else who helped! The work showed on camera.
Shame I've got the new job and can't make it out there til Saturday
(ps: the new baskets are gorgeous).
I have noticed this before too, but why does MJ turn away from his shot so fast? Cant always tell if he turns back again to see where it lands and what may happen after it touches the ground but to me that just looks weird. Hes a pro and Im sure he pays attention as much as he needs to, but in an AM setting I hate when people do that. Especially when they do it after a terrible drive that the group then has to search for. :/
Because he does a mental calculation of where it's going to land that is 99% accurate. Or he's messing with his opponents.
MJ has said that he clears himself off the teepad to keep play moving, but once he's off he turns around to see where his disc lands. Also, MJ isn't as old as every1 seems to think he is.
I've been so excited about this event I did not even realize there is a world championships going on right now. I didn't even see a Masters Worlds thread on here.
live coverage is starting soon. Time to close the office door...opcorn:

I was fortunate enough to get there to follow the top 2 cards. My big takeaway was watching MJ toss putters from the tee to dink and dunk his way to a nice score. Like Ledgestone, there's lots of OB to worry about. I bet some of the big arms will disc down and try to better set up their next shot today. The 1000 ft hole in particular was fun to watch. Most players on those 2 cards hit OB at least once (saw Koling do it twice). It's so tempting to crush a big drive from the tee but that OB can reverse plenty of forward progress (see Blakely).
Watching live for first time and enjoying it. Watching on mute (sorry commentators) and wish the pre-shot graphics listed the shot/toss number, say in the blue box on the lower left. Not sure what's been tried out previously and how complicated "live" stat graphics are to load, but I'm more interested in knowing the "now" details compared with previous round data.
But, minor detail. Enjoying it.
