Might try to play Bay Hill when I am in Orlando in July. We'll have to stay at the resort, but prices are very reasonable.
Next week is a betters paradise. Debuted last year, but only for a round — every shot of every player streaming. Cant fucking wait. Cant wait to lose $1k on Thursday lol.

I’ve always loved Vegas. Illinois finally legalized (went live) about a year ago. It’s a nice secondary/personal fund to buy shit without worrying about finances. But really only golf and football. I’m pretty horrendous at other sports.
Though NBA playoffs are easy. Take LeBron over any of his props and never lose lol.

Ignorant question here:
Is online gambling legal for anyone, or does it depend on what state you live in?

Anyone, you just have to be within the borders of a legalized state to place the bet.
About 30% it seems are legal at this point with over half scheduled to pass bills this year.
I’ve enjoyed the PGA more this year than I have in a long time.

We’ve had great Sunday's for a month straight. The best thing they ever did was re-work the schedule. Very few events are throw away anymore. The only one thus far has been Pebble, which is always a terrible field, and kinda the American Express. Honda will probably suffer a bit, but even still, likely Sungjae, JT, Brooks and a few Euros.
I took Simpson from Tier 1; Rory from Tier 2; Hideki from 3; Horschel from 4; Kuchar from 5; and S Kim from 6. Not final yet; suggestions welcome.

I’m sure Morikawa and Cantlay are same tier as Rory/Webb. But I like them both.
Love Billy Ho and Si Wooooooooo this week for their price point.
Another great Sunday
Westwood staying focused and rolling in the 20 footer on 18 earned him an extra half million or so for solo second.

Good for his caddy
Stewart Cink representing the old timers....easy win at Heritage
Good for him....and his son the caddy
Rory was overly dramatic on 18 but a good win
Are they going to allow fans at Muirfield Village in a few weeks?

Yeah. Everything I read and saw here on the news is yes. I think it will be reduced, but fans will be allowed.
Who are we liking for the PGA Championship?

I feel like an idiot for not grabbing Rory at 24-1 the week before he won Quail Hallow. Now of course he’s the favorite at like 10-1 depending on where you look.
I like Bryson. I said on here once that I thought he was on the juice. That wasn't fair. Maybe he is, I don't know. But I oughtta give him the same presumption everyone else gets. I've read a bit about him and I respect his different approach. He seems to gear up well for these majors and it sounds like Quail sets up well for him.

FYI, this isn’t at Quail. But it’s the longest course in major history, so should set up well for Bryson. Pete Dye design, and on the ocean (hence, The Ocean Course lol). I think Quail is a comparison course, though.
I haven’t looked at layouts. Wonder how many holes are forced layups off the tee with water?

I knew that, I don't know why I typed Quail.
I'm probably heading in the direction of the more seasoned links players, so I'll probably have a majority of Europeans in the mix of 6. Will keep an eye on the forecast as well to see how much wind is expected.
I’ll go Justin Rose
1 guy from each of six tiers (based on world rankings); I went with:
1) - Rahm, Fitzpatrick, Fleetwood, Leishman, Rose, Wiesberger
2) - McIlroy, Hovland, Niemann, Connors, Lowry, Grillo
At least 4 of the six must make the cut to have a winnable entry; total of best 4 total scores.
(Can edit up until the first tee off)
