i doubt anyone cares but i like golf (not crazy for it, but i watch it). Yesterday my friend and i were walking and i saw like 4 PGA Buicks drive by us but we looked at one and Tiger was drivin a LaCrosse. This past week has been mayham in the summit/springfield area so i was use to seeing PGA buicks everywhere.
Also my friends little brother took this week off of work to park cars in his driveway and his grandfathers law office lot and he racked in $1500.

Not bad for an 18 yr old kid to make straight cash in a week.

I saw him on Wednesday when I went to watch the practice. I got some video and pictures of him. He was sucking something aweful that day. Since it was a practice it wasn't a big deal and he's allowed to do whatever he wants (play multiple balls) but still, I got him hitting off of the 17th tee twice, his 1st went into a bunker. Then he couldn't get out, I thought it was pretty funny.
Oh, and on my walk from my friends house we passed Tiger's old caddy fluff who was running late 8) .

yeah i wanted to go but i was stuck working. Friday (i forget which hole) he chipped over the water to the green and a large branch fell and took out some people. No one was seriously hurt(thank god) Did you see that one, it was all over the news.

rumor is that he rented the house right across the street of the entrance of the club for $25,000 for the week.

I didn't see the tree branch falling but I heard about it. I followed it best I could even though I only got maybe an hour all week to actually watch it on TV.
I can believe he rented the house. It happens often with these guys. I know Michael Jordan rented a house for about that much years ago for some golf tournament.

I went to the tournament yesterday and we caught all the top guys. Tiger swings too hard and it cost him a serious chance to win the tournament. Phil kept screwing up easy shots too. I had to give Phil a couple of pointers on putting and that's when he really fell apart!

But ya gotta love John Daly, he just about runs up to the ball and hits it. Everyone else wastes all this time trying to "line" things up and they miss anyway. He just goes right up and hits it.

Good for phil to winn it today. But a guy at work said tiger talked to his son one day and that he was complaining about the heat.. I think Tiger would have done better if it was cooler out. I didn't get to watch anything because i worked everyday. My brother lives two blocks away from Baltusrol and he went one day but i never got to talk to him about it.

my dad went to see it, he was about 10 feet away from tiger on a few holes. my sister went too. The heat was pretty bad, she was throwing up from it.

Damn, you're even closer than I am, I'm in the Troy Hills Condos, half mile from the course. It did suck a little bit trying to get around last week.

where's that? I'm new to Springfield. I'm in Leigh Manor on Mountain ave. Diagonal from the Mountain ave/Hillside ave corner. I not across the street from the entrance, but every tour bus was going by us and turning down the side streets by choffi's, and everyone was stopping for "park & rides" on people's lawns.

I'm in a condo complex right up the hill from Shunpike Road (where the main entrance for the golf course is), I normally pass the main entrance every day (and head right down Mountain Ave to Hillside Ave ironically) but had to reroute for a few days when Tiger and friends came to town LOL.

Is that the complex just beyond the 78 underpass? If so, my frind Mike lives there and he hsa my old Formula(T/A front clip). It's black w/ a red pillar(previous owner), loud as hell. I know there is atleast 1 LS1 style Camaro down the street from him(black i think), and when I'm outside, I sometimes see a silver LS1 Camaro pass by. That you?
