Shaping up to a terrific Sunday!


Miserable showing for Tiger and Phil.

Great point.

It's showing off some of the best of western New York.

The best of very little haha. But it's gotten so much publicity it seems like golf is everyone's new favorite sport here. Great distractions for the bills fans too lol

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Well Tiger and Phil failed miserably on this course.

Tiger will be 38 when the next major comes around. His chances at catching Nicholas are getting pretty slim. He had a great shot at the British Open at getting #15 and he blew it. You wonder how many more good chances he's has left given the amount of talent that he's competing against.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Jason Dufner withstands the pressure and gets his first major.

Well done!

Great for Dufner. I watched him several years ago on the old Nationwide Tour.

And on the subject of golf. Is anyone else getting sick and tired of idiots yelling stupid crap every time a ball is hit? I was at a Web.com tourney this weekend and every time a ball was struck some idiot had to yell, "In the hole!"

I know it's been said for years...but it seems to be getting out of hand.

Seemed like that was a big problem at the Championship too.

Those folks ought to be tossed out immediately.

Got to go Wednesday and walk the course and stuff. Saw a few players still out practicing but nobody really important lol

It was pretty awesome just to be out there.

One thing that really stood out, that was shocking, is the sheer size of it all. You see full galleries and people crowding around all the time on TV, but its hard to understand how much is going on at these things until you're there. Tons of buses going back and forth, all kinds of vendors, the biggest golf store Ive ever seen, $9 beers lol

And, fwiw, brought in some $200 mil to the NY economy, and $80 or so directly to the Roc. Im sure legislators will screw up how they spend it, but its a major revenue.

That's pretty cool that you got to go out there.
