honestly - i can't see a sunday finish of 72 holes at this point

with all the rain they've got forcasted for Sat/Sun... they might finish Tuesday.

My home course for 10 years and my absolute favorite course anywhere... hopefully the rain stops and they can play under reasonable conditions. Otherwise it'll be just too difficult, even for the US Open.

Furyk, Curtis, Hart, Z Johnson, Perry?

Someone send that down here we are dying.
I have been doing outside repairs and swear I
the buoyancy of the atmosphere is lifting me off the ground.
Watered down gatoraide has been consumed by barrel.

I've never seen it rain this much in one day up here Pgard. It rained pretty steadily all day and then at about 4 it started pouring hard. It hasnt let up since. I cut my lawn last night and probably will have to again by the end of this weekend. Tonight its chicken parmesan, chocolate cake and in a few minutes the Belmont replays from today.

it was bad enough that at Belmont, the third race was called as the third regatta... LOL

well the USGA blew folks - how in the world could they not give a rain check to the fans yesterday

this could be their dumbest decision ever , no reason not to refund the patrons or to let them come out on another day - a clueless decision made by some clueless suits

all the players have an obligation to speak out about this disaster , but tiger and phil have the largest microphones - please 1 of you 2 superstars speak up for the fans 1x please , if it's not for them you ain't playing for squat

We are under water restrictions...

I am actually siphoning water out of my washing machine onto the yard.
Luckily my washing machine is at a higher level than my yard.

BTW

Getting soapy water right down the throat into the lungs is unpleasant.
Maybe this can replace waterboarding.
