As 2 income parents can't stay home with the kiddies, daycare has become more than "daycare" it has become "intro-kindergarten". The schools recognize this and now have 1st grade curriculum in kindergarten. I've seen this as my manager's son started kindergarten and showed me the grading card. No more plays well with others, colors inside the lines, knows A,B, C's, and naps well. That is what I am basing my comment from.

"Kindergarten has become the new first grade." I guess that happens with 2 income families and daycare. YIKES.

Not every "depression containing sand" is considered a bunker. On some courses, there may be what is called a waste area. These are not maintained (i.e. raked) and you can ground a club in such. That is why the second part of the explanation is there - "This will mean that many bunkers positioned outside of the ropes, as well as some areas of bunkers inside the ropes, close to the rope line, will likely include numerous footprints, heel prints and tire tracks during the play of the Championship. Such irregularities of surface are a part of the game and no free relief will be available from these conditions. All bunkers inside the ropes will be raked each morning prior to play as normal." My wife's boss played there about a year ago. I will ask him what the normal rule of play is.

Incorrect. That's why the PGA developed the local rule for this tournament only. Because there were so many bunkers on the course they didn't want to get in a pi$$ing contest as to what is a bunker and what is not. So they did the next thing - every sandy hole is a bunker. On point #2, even Feherty did not know the local rule.

Rule #1 from bulletin given to all players and posted in locker room - "Notice to Competitors - Bunkers 1. All areas of the course that were designed and built as sand bunkers will be played as bunkers (hazards), whether or not they have been raked. This will mean that many bunkers positioned outside of the ropes, as well as some areas of bunkers inside the ropes, close to the rope line, will likely include numerous footprints, heel prints and tire tracks during the play of the Championship. Such irregularities of surface are a part of the game and no free relief will be available from these conditions. All bunkers inside the ropes will be raked each morning prior to play as normal."

His error was in not reading the special rules sheet handed out to each player and posted in the locker room. Rule #1 on this announcement was that all bunkers on the golf course (ouside the gallery ropes) were considered bunkers and not waste areas. Bunkers = can't ground a club. Waste area = can ground a club. I feel sorry for him losing, but he should have read the local rule established by the tournament committee.

That's my point. The rules officals are only there if there is a question. The players are expected to know the rules and abide by them.

Thank you!! Also, it is not the PGA that makes the rules. It is the USGA and the R&A that govern the game. The PGA made the "local rule" about the bunkers. Also, there are no rules officals that stand beside every golfer on every shot. Players govern themselves for the most part.

I have agree with the first half of the statement. There just isn't the money out there like there was 15-20 years ago.

Topper is he keeps the ball rather than giving it to his gf.

Might try putting some herbs in the cavity to enfuse some flavor. I put a lemon or lime wedge at the top opening of the chicken to keep more of the steam inside the cavity to speed up the cooking a bit. Oil, spice rub on the outside, indirect heat. I also put a grill pan on the bottom of the holder so that I can cook some chunks of onion, pepper, other veg with the chicken.

A close tie, Pinehurst #2 and Torrey Pines.

Look at his stats now to a couple of years ago and his physical build.

Look at how far Vijay has fallen off as well. Hmm?

Played FB in LL and HS. Blocked more than ran. High and tight and 3 points of contact are the 2 teaching "aids". Tell the young man to have fun and to tell you any time he gets hurt.

A tip of the cap to you Morrie and Godspeed.

Small story about the resort during yesterday's telecast said that the bunker has been decommissioned. Bunker tour

Then don't have a good time. It wasn't advice.

Have fun.

Good to hear from you again Olivier. Thanks for the clarification.

No arguement there - I'm with you. This is just one of those "rules" that have been there for a long time.

Golf even has some non-written rules.

No doubt. However, just the hint of PED in any sport raises the question to all. Wasn't there some "ejections" from fencing in the Beijiing Olympics?
