Colonial

Unfortunately I will not be shooting Colonial this year. I may go as a spectator on Saturday.

82, your signature picture is the best I have seen of GP and the team pre-game. That look on his face is just scary. Grim before battle, Tolkien might say.

I took golf for PE credits during Summer School at TCU. We practiced in the Worth Hills area long before the construction happened. I was actually an experienced golfer and had to help our teacher, Kitty Wingo (after class, away from the other students, of course). And I am one of those still alive who actually played Worth Hills GC. Made me really appreciate "The Glory Game" by Jenkins, which is still the funniest golf story I have ever read. That has muny-course golf and golfers down perfectly. Especially Fort Worth: iffy fairways, greens made more of crab grass than bermuda.... still fun. Worst thing back then was the fragility of good balls.

That brings up my suggestion to keep down the scores and length today: just make the Tour players play with clubs and balls that match 1965 technology. Of course that would never happen because the equipment makers rely on players wanting to buy what the Tour players use. But being 63 years old, I really appreciate balls that go at least 10% further and fly straighter than they did a dozen years ago, and still spin well and last much longer, too.

Looks like Jerry Kelly made good on his Rose Bowl bet with J.J....

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a putting green between Worth Hills and the Rickell Building(circa 1987).

I hope Kelly wore the head and I hope a tape is being sent to Madison.

Thanks Limp,

I took that back in 2008 at New Mexico for the season opener. Right place at the right time.

That is very unfortunate, especially for those of us who love 82Frog's work.

Thanks Double D. Colonial is always a target-rich environment.
