Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
The Player’s Championship - Who’s watching this weekend?
- Thread starter OTD Sports
- Start date
Currently in a weather delay. I will be watching but I watch just about every tourney from every tour.
I am not the biggest fan of Sawgrass. More specifically not a big fan of too many Pete Dye designs. I've played Sawgrass a few times, Fortunately I didn't have to pay for it because I would not have played if that was the case.

I’ll be watching. I’ve played Sawgrass...not a fan, either.
I recently moved to a golf community. I've never played. Now I'm afraid to. People were golfing in 37 degree, light rain conditions. Earlier this week we had a large front coming through about 10 AM, and people were on the course at 8. It's got to be addictive.
Pete Dye courses ..... what is it that you don't like about them? Would you say one of the knocks on his courses are that they are too tight in the fairways?
I just love being outdoors on the green grass. Golf is quite challenging mentally so i enjoy that aspect of it also.
I would say the biggest tip for beginning golfers is to maintain pace of play. No one cares if you suck, we have all been there. As long as you aren't holding anyone up you generally won't bother people.
It costs $8K to be a member, so I'll spend some time at a local driving range, then play with some of our friends that golf regularly, and see if I like it. They have a community yard sale once a year, and I bought two sets of clubs for $30. Together I have a dated, but full set.
I have no issue with tight courses off the tee. His courses just don’t fit my eye. Ive played a lot them both in competition and casually and had a little success but I just prefer other designers styles. Just a personal preference. The man and his wife Alice are legends in the game of golf and rightly so.

That kinda says how I feel about Dye courses...I love Donald Ross courses!
Some of my absolute favorite courses are Donald Ross courses. His influence up here in New England is everywhere. He landed in Boston after leaving Scotland for the states. CC of Waterbury being one of my favorite courses anywhere. A gem. Pinehurst #2 never gets old

My son is a Purdue grad...turf science guy...and he’s assistant superintendent at a great Ross Private course in Charlotte...Carolina Golf Club. They keep it immaculate. I love going over to play there from time to time.

The Players... 🌧 
Should count as a stroke imo. Zach Johnson accidentally hits ball during practice swing
Players 2022: Zach Johnson could have actually killed someone with his latest practice swing shank
The two-time major champ has become a menace to fans around tee boxes.

For decades there were 4 in our group who played every weekend and more. We usually chose the course where we played based on what restaurant we wanted to eat at afterwards.
are they going to start round 3 this afternoon?
Yeah, they finished round 2 and started round 3 yesterday.
8-11 am ET today is conclusion of round 3.
1-630 pm ET is final round TV coverage.
This reminded me to tune in, thanks!
Just have fun. Mu problem was growing up it was a job .I was great but hated being forced to practice. I didn't play for 25 years. Now it is fun again. Drunk driving carts is the best part
The average golfer feels your pain Zach.
