We want to follow one group early to walk the entire course, so who do you recommend? Parings come out this afternoon, looking for a group without too much celebrity status. Probably spend the PM at 12 or 16 hopefully. I am pinching myself, finally get to see the course I have memorized watching TV.

Terry...one of my fellow golf pro buddies called and wants me to go with him tomorrow for the practice round...but can't swing it.

I would think #1 on your list has to be following Seve for a few holes and watch him hit it all over the place. You will be amazed at how good you will feel about your own game after watching him.

Guys I recommend watching..

Sergio....incredible driver of the ball...just close your eyes while he putts.

Bjorn....love his game.

Rollins....solid ball striker....The Rocket.


some guy named Woods is supposed to be there too...up and comer...I think he has some game too.

Rollins has become my darkhorse. Will watch him for sure. And Seve would be entertaining, good suggestion! Arnie now hits the first ball, just confirmed. Nancie met him once, and she was shook up for a week. I think he does that to the girls, even today, the lucky bas****.

I remember 96' PGA at Valhalla. I went to a practice round. I was amazed at the sweet swing by the big easy. The guy is pretty tall, and he looked so fluid w/ his motion. He was with Frank Nobilo and a couple others. It was so freakin' hot and humid it was unreal. They got into a water fight at the last hole. It was really fun to see. They were acting like 3rd graders. I got to see Jack and several other icons of the game. Just take it all in and try and see as much as possible.

Stenson and Garcia are solid bets at 33-1.. ive put a few sentimental Euro on KJ Choi as well at 150-1. he has done well in the masters before!

Kev....Stenson..yes. Garcia...NO...NO...NO....

Kev, What i see happening with Garcia is he'll be nowhere after 3 rounds and then, he'll shoot something crazy on Sunday and finish in a tie for third or fourth. I like Stenson though, he's getting better every time I see him..

btw, one of my friends was wearing a t-shirt with what it says on your avatar at the weekend.. funny!!

or just the opposite with Garcia...play well for 3 rounds...be near the lead going into Sunday....shoot about 40-41 on the front 9 Sunday....play himself out of contention...make a few birdies late to make his round look better than it was...but never have a chance of winning. No brain and no heart when it matters. (See Ryder Cup single record)

Yeah, that was a pretty garbage time PGA. I remember my buddy fell out on a practice round the next day. He drank like 10 draft beers on an empty stomach. Dumbass, 95 degrees and humid as hell. He passed out and had to be treated for heat exhaustion. I clowned him for monthes.
