You see him reach that 600 yard par 5 in two shots and miss the 5 footer for eagle?

No, I can't keep track of where they are showing it. Was watcing a little on TNT, but LAW N' ORDER on there relentlessly now(even though they are evidently back playing.) Damn show is pretty much the same show each time with a lil slight ripple.

damn....they had golf on out here forever. I watched it from 1-5 on TNT. It was scheduled til 7, but I know a rain delay came after I left home.

To be honest, I am not used to weatching guys that can hit. So, watching Manny play right now kept from from watching much of the tournament earlier today. I'll try to watch it more, but Friday seems more important to me with these things. For instance, Da Milky Sea is up there close to the lead on the 1st day.

Some of them are complaining that they are leaving
indented footprints on the greens they are so dry.
Dont think that is right. Course is tough enough.

It's not too anything. The thing that is throwing some of them off is "the difference" between the hardness of Thursday's greens versus the softer greens they played their practice rounds on. You have to understand these are spoiled people. They want to win majors, but they don't want to have to work hard to do it. They want to be able to shoot at pins, and it's just not gunna be that way as much as they would like it to be. If a guy who is a teaching pro can shoot 1 over, then it isn't too hard .

PGA head professional at Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park, N.J. . Tied for 19th in the 2008 PGA Professional National Championship and won a playoff on the third extra hole to earn a berth in the 90th PGA Championship.
The PGA PRO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP is limited to teaching pros. He came 19th against teaching pros, and shot 1 over today. Billy Mayfair shot -1 today. This is not a great player. This is pretty much a Smurf. So, if somebody can't shoot atleast +1 on this course, then they just aren't playing that great.

Maybe the gripe about the greens in not legit.

But if one did step on a green and it altered the
surface signficantly, and a player had to "read" 100's footprints
while determining the line... then we have a problem.

I mean if they are really so spoiled make em play in a junkyard
with crushed metal car fairways. There is a point where a golfcourse
becomes ridiculous.

What is the last tournament anyone can remember that the course
was really unfair in this way... randomness played too significant a role
to the point where good shotmaking did not lead to an advantage (a great drive bounced
the wrong way off the hood of one of a million junkcars that would be struck anywhere you hit the ball)?
