PGA Championship

[TTS_JF]

Brother went yesterday and loved it. I think I got a hat out of the deal.

Anyone going tomorrow? Will be there at some point with two of the mini-Doomers.

 

Hope nWo can scare off the rain.

 

I will be there on Saturday, likely behind #14, probably in a pink shirt, most assuredly with a 9 year old boy wearing some other country's soccer jersey.

[h=2]McIlroy takes time for young fan after PGA's first round[/h]

He’s the #1 golfer in the world and more importantly a fine young man. Those two don’t always go together. He could have easily ignored us and we would have understood — after all, he is trying to win a major championship. But he didn’t ignore us because he has character and recognizes the importance and his responsibility as an ambassador of the game. He took just a minute of his time to create an experience that we won’t forget.

The man is one of the best drivers in golf, drives his own car and was going to pump his own gas. And he’s even driving on the wrong side of the road compared to how he learned to drive in Northern Ireland. Success has not gone to his head, and I hope that it never does. If he keeps his feet on the ground, it’s hard to say how much of his potential that he will achieve.”

In that picture he looks like he is 16.

Agree

The run Rory is on reminds me of Tigers when he got his tiger slam. Rory is clearly the best golfer out there win or lose.

 

He is just fun to watch.

It was mentioned earlier on this thread that to volunteer at The Senior event next season it cost $130, what was the cost to volunteer at this PGA? Are hotels pretty much booked at this event and next season's? How far in advance do you have to sign up to volunteer? Thanks.

I talked to a volunteer on we'd and she said it was $190 to volunteer this year.

As far as next year, you'd have to go to the website and volunteer. I believe it's at Whistling Straights next year.H

It looks like it will be around $205

For my first ever PGA event, this one is shaping up to be a classic.

 

Can't wait to get down there tomorrow for the final round. Right now 5 are tied for the lead and 5 more are only a shot back. Wow!

I was there Friday. Rain in the morning, off and on drizzle the rest of the day. Muddy conditions but a lot of fun. My brother and I quickly learned that it's not easy following groups and walking the up and down terrain of Valhalla. We parked ourselfs at the par 3 # 14 hole for about 2 hours, then watched another hole, a par 4, from the area in the fairway where the drives usually ended up. Then for the last 3 hours we sit close to the rope next to the green on # 18 and watched all the golfers finish their round. Great experience.

My brother tried to take a phone picture of Tiger and before he knew what was going on a golf official was standing right in front of him pointing his finger and telling him he knew better than that, to put his phone away because it wasn't allowed, lol.

Looking forward to a great final round. 2-3 player playoff anyone? Any one of about 8 golfers could win this!

Mickelson letting Rory know....?

[ColonelCrazy]

Any chance this will actually be finished tonight?

[NamecipS]

That was a great tournament. If I were Phil, I'd be bent out of shape for rushing me.

What a great tournament!!
