Waste Management Open

[mashleyR7]

The bloke on the TV just said they're expecting 650,000 people to attend over the full event! That's a huge amount of people!!!!!???
I guess that the 16th is popular but imagine if UK events had that much attendance?

Waste Management open is great for golf.

I'm pretty sure it's the biggest tournament in golf in terms of visitors. Fantastic tournament for atmosphere. Pretty huge beer sales as well I reckon.

[mashleyR7]

Agreed, looks like an awesome event. I'd help create some recycling

Scenes round the 16th are a disgrace, bad etiquette, boorish drunken yobbery....




....... bloody brilliant! Not something for every week, but a great spectacle

I love it, but....

Commentators suggesting that a fairway is narrow at 23 yards is farcical. Some of ours are 6 yards across.

Cart path from the tee box is not the fairway. 😉

There was talk earlier about it being a great venue for the Ryder cup. Not a big fan of the Ryder cup but think it would be a great spectacle.

Did you see the clip of the actor Mark Wahlberg in the pro am ?

He is a leftie and sherman tanked it into the crowd - he was playing with Bubba who insisted he had another go.

Before Wahlberg teed it up again Bubba was on the mic getting the crowd to duck down in advance.

Very entertaining and I think Wahlberg hit the green with his second - just imagine the pressure on that shot as an amateur !!!

I could not get excited by it. I thought they threw someone out for shouting on someones swing?

I suspect they're more likely to throw someone out for not shouting on a player's swing on the 16th.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

On 16 anything goes. On the rest of the course it is a little more normal and yes you will still get thrown out. There is a little more leeway but not when someone is playing a shot. You are right, they threw someone out near the end of play yesterday on 17 / 18 for shouting on a players downswing.
