  1. The north gate is the better entrance and will funnel you by the range and then merch store. It's not a tent - it's a beautiful building. They allow you one re-entry each day, so we always take our merch back to the car. You can also ship it onsite if you want. Definitely go first thing and get it over with. Other random thoughts: 1. If you're going with buddies or just more than one person, be sure and wear a wrist watch and pick a "when we get separated meet here" spot. It can be really easy to get separated - especially around the clubhouse - and you won't have your phone to text/call. 2. Spend time around the big oak tree by the clubhouse. It really is cool. Since you'll be there Tuesday, and if you stay around basically until they kick you out, you'll see a lot of the past champions under the tree before the Champions Dinner. Last year we just stared at Scottie and Crenshaw talking for 20 minutes before the security guard politely told us that we didn't have to go home, but we had to leave the premises. 3. We walked down to Amen Corner around 5:15 after all the players were off the course. It was the most beautiful and peaceful time I've ever had on a golf course. It was awesome. Just soaking in the beauty the course at that time of day was spectacular. Have fun. It's the best.
  2. Fun fact - if it was up to the bowls, they'd require the participating schools to contractually buy way more tickets than they do now. As it is, the bowls enter into contracts with conferences - not individual schools - and the conferences are the ones who have limited the contractual requirement on ticket allotment at the request of their schools. Most schools lose their ass on ticket allotments, which is why conferences pushed back on ticket allotment numbers and reduced them to 13,000 (from 17,500) during the last round of contract negotiations in 2014 for the New Years Six bowls.
  3. At least as it relates to bowl games, neither the bowl nor the schools get any percentage or cut of resale fees.
  4. Each school gets 20,000 tickets for championship game.
  5. I start watching when Spieth and JT are 2 up and Spieth turns into a 14 handicap. I'll go back to work now.
  6. He generally seems annoyed or pissed.
  7. Forster's "attempts" at saves during PK's were laughable.
  8. Good summary of how players can automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup this week. Scenarios for players to automatically qualify for the U.S. Ryder Cup Team at BMW Championship
  9. Former TCU coach Gary Patterson Takes in NMSU Practices
  10. They mail them about three weeks before the tournament - or at least they did last year. Your friends will be fine getting in.
  11. So great! Canadian Open deserved that finish.
  12. Spieth starts his round looking like a 24 handicap with two straight, really ugly three putts. Then buries a 31 foot birdie putt on three. Spiethcoaster in full effect early.
  13. That post didn't necessarily age well.
  14. Keep Austin Dirty - A Dirty Martin’s Documentary Good watch.
  15. There are signs on the grounds, similar to tee sheets, which are updated when players go out for practice rounds. You can’t find out who is playing or when before getting to the course though.
  16. By whom....?
  17. Indeed, it’s almost time…
  18. Obligatory tell me you don't understand country clubs without telling me you don't understand country clubs. 😉
  19. CDC made the point during the town hall that it took the players too long to get to the current practice field and that they were looking for a new, more convenient location. I can't figure out where that would be, but he made it seem like they were going to a new, closer location to DKR.
  20. Tried Navy Blue in Rice Village last night. Bludorn's new seafood place. If ever there was a restaurant which screams "overpriced foodie" it's Navy Blue. Lovely place with excellent tasting food, but it's a one and done experience.

  22. https://twitter.com/GolfDigest/status/1625861235727286274 Watched the first two episodes. First one is all Spieth and JT. Second one is Koepka and Scottie. Not a surprise, but my biggest takeaway so far is Koepka is a monster douchebag. Thought he might come across as more compelling behind the scenes. Nope. Awesome juxtaposition between he and Scottie.
