🏌 The Home of Happy Golf Stories

Hal O’Tosis. Rocky Bullwinkle and the fake jock off Star Trek.

I did mention Hal Sutton by name in the previous post :wink:
Rocky was voted the golfer they would most like to shag in a poll of the “Lady Marshals” carried out by one of my employees working as a volunteer back in the day. Nice guy, bought beers. Now a ery good coach at Pro level

Scotty - won $62.2m last year - that is BEFORE sponsorship & appearance money.
Famous for ending the career of a Jefferson County Law Enforcement officer

The Players final round

Leaders: -11 McIlroy (10), Spaun (10)

What hole does Rory choke on?

Rory goes 12 under and is out on his own

And the storm hits.

Been watching all weekend on and off. Rory is still only about 80% but Sawgrass has a way of getting to players, so nobody has really got away.
Stuck on bus into town to meet friends for a couple of beers hopefully the storm delay means I won’t miss much 20 minutes on bus so far. Rory played 1 hole!

Oof.
After an Uber home to catch the end of play, Rory was3 up yet it ended with JJ Spaun leaving a 31 foot putt 2 inches short on the last for a tie.
It is now dark so tomorrow Spaun & Rory have a 3 hole strokeplay playoff.

That close to $m more than coming 2nd

Good tournament
Great course for TV

Nice side story, Bud Cauley had a horrid car crash some years ago, got a medical exemption and had to earn $1m in 6 starts to keep his card.
He did that by coming 6th.

Playoff underway on Sky Sports Golf
Par 5 16th. Cold and windy from 180 degrees different direction to all weekend.

Lovely early morning post storm light & colours.

JJ took a 4 iron from behind trees needing to hit 222 into the wind and was all of us…
Topped it luckily into the fairway
Rory chipped out next to him

McIlroy wins The Players Championship

Jeez he’s got very grey recently…
