Very sad to see what she’s doing to herself.

Her boobs aren’t even attractive given what she’s doing to her face, especially her upper lip. It appears as if she’s trying to develop a cleft pallet lip.

I don’t understand celebrities and why they purposely disfigure themselves.

USA Network Live now. Golf course looks great. Would look even better w/ a few more trees, but I digress.

Rory off to a great start. Eric Cole off to a good start.

I am watching it via streaming on Peacock channel. Such a hard course I love watching the best get challenged and not have the winner -15

The leader is now at -4. To me thats somewhat surprising. Thought the course would be somewhat more difficult to score on.

Eric Cole just sh*t the bed on #7. 5 over (w/ a birdie) on the last 6 holes. Predictable. I talk to Russ a lot about him and he admits that he makes too many big numbers. Mini-tour background leads him to trying to flag every single shot regardless of the situation. Not gonna win if you're not gonna learn.

Has anyone golfed there?
I played a round there during my time at PSU with the general counsel of Bayer - early summer 1996. Very humbling experience but I did birdie one par 3 - beautiful uphill, blind 5 wood that finished 4’ from the hole. Strange how I have forgotten the time spent in the church pews.

To get a sense of the changes made, and the trees removed:


I'm not a big fan of de-forestation on classic golf courses. Winged Foot, Merion, Oakmont, and many others have done this in an effort to "make it like it was." My question to them is why did Tillinghast, Wilson, Fownes, Ross, and the others plant the damn trees - or saw that they got planted - then?

The GCSAA's love it b/c it makes their jobs easier, but other than that I don't see the benefits. They all look like Prairie Dunes now.
