It's that time of year huddlers... PGA golf on our back porch.

I'll be on #5 again this year marshalling like we've done for the past couple of years.

Friday I'll be on #5 fairway and Saturday I'll be on #5 green and then Sunday ima spectate somewhere on the front probably.

If you're coming out let me know and stop by and see me.

As for the golf, I suspect Rory will have a good shot again this year.

Bubba and Graeme McDowell have dropped out... but still should be a good field.

I'll be rooting for Phil and or Dustin Johnson more than likely.

Here's the view down #5 fairway back towards the tee last year on Saturday.

I'm going Friday, I've never been to a golf match before. Can you tell me some dos and don'ts? Is there a dress code, is better to walk the course or hang out in a general area, is the beer expensive, what do I need to know?

I will be there on Friday and Saturday. The company I work for was one of the two original sponsors that helped bring the tournament to Charlotte...and we get tons of tickets.

Clubhouse access....great free food...and a free open bar. The only way to attend the tournament.

Most people attending wear golf shirts....but TShirt are allowed.

Many people pick a foursome and follow them....the top foursomes get big crowds and it is often hard to see.

We usually walk around....then follow a group for a few holes...then pick another good group and follow them for a few holes.

Towards the afternoon (when it is hot and we are tired), we usually park ourselves on the ground at 17....great Par 3 over the water. To make it interesting, we get a little side betting action going.

Each of us brings a bunch of ones. When each group approaches the tee box, each of us selects a golfer (we rotate who gets to pick first). Everyone throws a dollor in the pot and the closest to the pin (has to be on the green) wins the hole. We continue to let the pot ride all afternoon. We usually get a nice pile of cash between us and it gets interesting. Something to make it a little more enjoyable when the golfers that you have never heard of are playing.

Madhatter has a lot of good points... when I go to tournaments I usually pick a good viewing spot on a hole and sit. Following a group is tiring and it is hard to see. As far as what to wear, they're pretty lenient, but shorts and a golf shirt/tshirt is always good. It can get hot so take some sunscreen and a chair. They are allowing phones now, but no pics on tourney days and no calls unless you're in a designated call area and keep it on silent at all times. Marshals (ie me) will confiscate your phone if you break the rules. Usually we'll just warn you, but if you're a dick about it, we'll take it.

Quail Hollow is excellent for viewing the ladies too... lots of nice ones out scouting for golfers.

Thanks for the input guys! Nobody mentioned the beer though, is it expensive? :D Hey Biscuit, how do I find you, I'll stop and say howdy. I know you said you'd be on #5 fairway, but how will I know who you are?

      Ekwonu contract

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023.

      Steelers pick trades

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
