Oh, I'm OK with ringer teams being put together. I'm not OK with teams blatantly lying about their scores.

Back when I was just graduating there was always one team that had 3 shady members and everyone knew they were full of it. The main guy was about a 5 handicap in the book. This clown carries it to the club championship flight. It was a 2 round competition. On the first day he was in the same foursome I was. The scores were 69, 70, 73, 89. He was not in my group the next day....nor did he show up.

Anybody else going to the WGC at Firestone this weekend? Absolutely love that course, the fact it's relatively close and is essentially a major championship field

This could be an epic choke joke by Furyk here. Bradley with an awesome up and down.

Keegan Bradley shoots a 64 to win by one. Furyk up by 1 going into the final hole and gets a double bogey to lose by 1. I'm sure theres only about 65 people watching this but that was painful to watch for Furyk.

Furyk is not having a good run of it this summer.

He blew the U.S Open in similar fashion.

Probably the best thread for it.

Here are some of the clubs I was going thru today in my garage. When my grandfather passed away about 10 years ago. I was the only one who wanted his golf clubs. He had old Wilson Staff irons and putter, a 1990's wedge but here are what was under the ghey "sock" headcovers....



^^^ 3 black woods 2-4 that I believe came with the iron set....guessing 1985ish....and 1 brilliant dark brown wood Wilson driver (guessing very early 80's and it's by far the most eye catching though I couldn't get a great pic.

A few more...



The other 3 clubs...



Thinking late 70's?

The McGregor driver appears to be the oldest. The Dynacraft 4 wood is sharp. The 2 1/2 wood is awesome for that reason alone.

Big week coming up this week with the PGA Championship at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.

I played there some years ago and can only imagine how tough it will be on the pros. It was a beautiful place, but if the wind starts blowing it is going to be a bear.

Other than the Ryder Cup in 1991 this is the first tournatment I can remember being held there, so interested to see how it plays.

I was looking at that. Looks like about 350 a round for public?

Driven by it about 5 dozen times.
There is a course that looks nice just outside of BG on 65 that looks good too.

Stone Ridge may very well be the nicest course publicly in NW Ohio. That and Red Hawk are really in a class of their own
