Right about now I should be making the turn at Metedeconk CC for a work "event", but ironically, work has prevented me from going. Sigh...
I wouldn't know.... GRRRRR...That's a great spot. 3 hard nines!
The virus has made money for people in curious ways. One is golf. This year is the first uptick in participation across the country in many years. Men and gals, just gotta get outta the house. Monmouth County is still flooded with players, tee times within a week are hard to get. Middlesex County is rocking too. Gotta get some of you younger fellas back to work.The popularity of golf has waned.
I kind of tracked the popularity of two sports: tennis and golf.
I remember tennis was very popular in the 70s and 80s. The main reason was Connors and McEnroe and the baby boomers. You could not find courts.
Golf became very popular in the 90s and 2000s. Why? Greg Norman and Tiger Woods and Baby Boomers.
Now the baby boomers are getting old and young people are not taking up golf. The only savior for golf are Asians. Golf will become an Asian sport soon. They need one breakout Asian star for that to happen.

What's your opinion of the Top Flite Gamer? I think Knightmoves called it the poor man's ProV1 in the Kirkland thread.I should have been a golf ball designer, I buy dozen or more of everything and cut one open and then test another one. If I like them I buy more. I have a lot of boxes of ten balls.
I'm more partial to Carly Booth. And she can actually play a bit.More Paige!
The current Maxfli Tour is a poor man's ProV1. You can get them at Dicks for 2 for $50 and if you have the $10 off $50 coupon you can get them for $20 per dz. Here is a video comparison of the Maxfli Tour and ProV1.What's your opinion of the Top Flite Gamer? I think Knightmoves called it the poor man's ProV1 in the Kirkland thread.

The only part of the tourney I caught was the 18th hole and the playoff hole. Lucky timing, incredible putt to win that would've been a great 2-putt from there.Rahmbo with an amazing 60 foot putt to win the playoff hole.

lol, I did the exact same thing when I played Pebble in 1991 - hard to take a bad picture at that place...First time I played Pebble was in 1994.
The guy in the pro shop told us that the most sold item in the shop was those cardboard disposable cameras. This was before everyone had a camera on their phone and people didn't think to bring a camera to the golf course.
When they got there and realized how beautiful it really is they wanted pictures to take home

That is why I use urethane ones, they are a lot cheaper than gold.Played the 'Conk' back in the day and ran out of gold balls midway thru the round....
I think with this new format, it has to come with an asterisk.Dustin Johnson with a 54-hole lead for the 4th straight tournament. He leads by 5 going into tomorrow's final round. Last guy to lead in 4 straight tournament? Tiger Woods in 1999.
It's just a meaningless stat. I do like the new format since you get an overall winner. Never liked the NASCAR style format where you win on points.I think with this new format, it has to come with an asterisk.
Straight up he is second two stokes behind Schauffele this week.I think with this new format, it has to come with an asterisk.
I’ve played some tough tracks now but that place is definitely one of the hardest I’ve ever played. Castle Pines is another.Played the 'Conk' back in the day and ran out of gold balls midway thru the round....

I haven’t played Spooky in a long time but that’s not how I remembered it. I remembered you can land a plane on most holes And it was the longest out of Middlesex County courses.Never played East Lake or remember anything big played there but this isn't a pretty course at all. Many holes look like Spooky Brook
Spooky Brook is actually in Somerset County. But I do agree that you could land a plane on most of the holes. It’s basically a flat open piece of land. Miry Run had a fairway right next to an old runway strip from what I remember. And I remember a plane actually do an emergency landing on Royce Brook GC years ago.I haven’t played Spooky in a long time but that’s not how I remembered it.
