The PGA Tour playoffs come to the northern burbs this week. The pros will be playing Conway Farms in
Lake Forest. I am looking foward to seeing the course on TV, never have had a chance to tee it up there.
Is anyone attending in person? Ugie? Should be interesting and the weather will be hot the first round
and then dive for the weekend.

Cool story. You should tell it at dinner parties and social gatherings.

I don't recall being away. Why did they leave Cog Hill when it was the old western open?

This was from an interview discussing the BMW being played in Denver next year.... Essentially the old Western
Open is the current BMW Championship.


VINCE PELLEGRINO: Good morning. Welcome. As John mentioned, my name is Vince Pellegrino. I'm the vice president of tournaments for the Western Golf Association, and the Western Golf Association is extremely excited to be here at Cherry Hills to bring back the 2014 BMW Championship to the great community of Denver and to present this event on a world-class stage. Western Golf Association has been conducting championships, both professional and amateur championships, since 1899, and is one of the world's oldest golf associations. In addition to the BMW Championship, we also conduct the Western Amateur Championship, the Western Junior Championship, and sponsor the Evans Scholars Foundation, and we are certainly looking forward to bringing the excitement of PGA Tour playoff golf to Colorado. Prior to the 1960s the Western Golf Association took what was then known as the Western Open out of Chicago to prestigious historic golf clubs around the country, and after being anchored in the Chicago area for more than 40 years, we've kind of gone back to our roots, and in 2008 we brought the Championship to Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, and in 2012 we're going to bring the Championship to Crooked Stick, and we're pleased to bring the Championship out here to Denver in 2014.

This starts any minute. I believe this is Luke Donald's home course so that may help him a bit and I
doubt many of the players have seen this one prior to this week.

Cog Hill spent millions revamping the Dubsdred course, and all of the pros hated it and said they wouldn't play there anymore, so the tournament left the course :lol:

Money well spent.

I wrote one of my longer posts ever related to this very topic.
It was such a good post I'm surprised nobody else copied it and used it as their own.

Some relatively good scoring today. Tiger is currently at -3 and in the top 10. Snedeker is
going apeshit and is at -8 thru 16 right now.

Apparently TW was seen working out today at the Lifetime Fitness in Vernon Hills. Wore his headphones and was pretty much left alone.

I remember Lifetime Fitness before I moved away. I really liked those places. Wish they were here.

Conway Farms is not the most spectator friendly course in the world. Then again, neither was Cog Hill.

Rickie Fowler birdied his last three holes in a row yesterday to shoot a +6. He has slashed back to even
par with a score of -6 through his first nine holes today. :shock:

Did he wipe the sweat off the machines when he was finished? If not, that is a violation of club rules.

I was going to go, then I realized watching golf would be extremely boring, so I now plan on watching the dead leaves slowly trickle off my ash tree.

Probably not. He was in a hurry to get out of there once this short, stocky, slow-witted lightbulb salesman started asking him if he was "back."

See, thats where your story goes awry. What kind of short, stocky, lightbulb salesman would be in a gym anyway?

The answer has already been proven. Its no.

Furyk started his round today on the back side and proceeded to shoot 8 under in the first 9 holes. :shock:

The only thing that's been proven is it's never a good idea to analyze jokes,

It appears that way. At least now that the "experts" can't keep blaming his struggles on his switch from Titleist to Nike. That was preposterous.

Jordan Spieth is the new great golfer. He's legit.
