@BrendanPorath I went to this a few years back and they didn't even scan my ticket. We walked with Scheffler for 9 holes and were the only ones out there for most of it. A truly surreal experience. Maybe 200 people in hospitality and another 50 on the course itself

@LeighGiangreco My late grandfather worked for UPI back in the day. When he was at the London bureau, they assigned him to cover Wimbledon. He said his first question was, "Where's Wimbledon?" A different era, for sure!

I've had only hole in one in my life. My playing partners tried to turn down drinks on me from the bar cart and there was not a single soul at the 19th hole bar. I guess I'm lucky???

[MYGOLFSPY @MyGolfSpy]

Having a hole-in-one is cool and all...

Until you have an insane bar tab

I'll be real - I think having to buy EVERYONE ELSE drinks after you ace one is some bullsh*t

Here's why: https://t.co/1dyg1xjOEs

@SWSectionPGA @michaelfeagles @PapagoGolf @markbaldwin1 @acaseofthegolf1 Played this course this afternoon right after the tourney. Pins were diabolical for Papago. Greens were firmer than I've ever seen. It was a different course. Wild to see how set-up and conditions can create such a challenge for the pros. Congrats to Michael!

@TronCarterNLU @AndyTFE The outdoor regional gates (D60) at MIA are my nomination for the single worst gates in America now that 35X at DCA is closed. I do think there should be some consideration of worst airport to connect at vs worst O/D airport. At least Miami is close to Miami and has rail.

@Chris_arnade @aitch_bar I hope you mean slightly NW of downtown and not truly NW Phoenix. The area bounded roughly by Washington (South), 48th St (East), Bethany Home (North), and 15th Ave (West) has some good walkable pockets. I live in historic Coronado and am impressed by (relative) walkability

Couldn't find my headphones before heading out to the gym this morning and they are absolutely blasting "All Star" over the speakers here. Is this normal gym music playlist behavior?

@conorsen the last time I rented an EV from Hertz the car was in one pedal mode when I picked it up. Even as an EV owner, it threw me for a complete loop! Can't imagine how bad it would be if I had no idea why my car was breaking every time I took foot off pedal

Looks like the squatter is sitting on the rightfully owned Nantucket sweatshirts of the owners too

Remember when the Washington Post was a quality newspaper with interesting and factually accurate reporting?

@hannahgaykeao @OmariJHardy In that not approving additional housing leads families into more precarious housing which impacts the stability of home life which leads to increased truancy which hurts educational outcomes? Right?

[Preston Cornish @pcpontificates]

@OmariJHardy @hannahgaykeao It's also hard to take people seriously who refer to people as "Dr" to make a point about their intelligence. Calderon is not a housing economist, and her EdD has no bearing on her expertise on this issue

@KVanValkenburg @Coach_Mackay_ I used to play with a guy down in Miami who could legitimately hit it 350+ (college golfer; competed in some long drive events). he would routinely bomb it over the green on one of the short 4s and then chip and three putt for bogey. it was nuts!
