^^ Good for you! Are phones/cameras allowed now? If so, would be great to see some pics.

We did the same thing a few years ago about getting a round in on the trip - went straight to a course from the Atlanta airport. We had Tuesday tickets.

Was down in Florida over the weekend. Got in a round of golf on Friday morning. So many crazy old people on those courses.

Buddy accidentally throws out his receipt, starter makes some condescending remark “You must not golf often.” Really glad we paid those greens fees. Then my friend blasts a monster drive, hits the green in two, and birdies.

Later, had some old lunatic fly up behind us in a cart on the 7th hole as we were preparing to tee off. His friends were still finishing off the 6th. He says “You have an open hole. TEE OFF!” We point out that there is a foursome about 200 yards out, right of the fairway. He continues to berate us and doesn’t even look downrange in that direction. Following hole, par 3, foursome ahead of us still on the green. We stand on the tee and watch the dick behind us park his cart 5 feet off the green. Blows my mind that he thought he had any right to comment on our etiquette.

I love golf but man some people don’t make it easy to relax and enjoy. Explains why so many new people are quickly turned off to the sport.

Was this a shit course? That’s not my usual experience lol.

Where were you? I was in Coral Springs the last few days. Back home (freezing) now.

Cameras and stuff are allowed on the grounds during practice rounds. I brought my Canon 1 series, a monopod and a massive lens when I was there in 2008.

In the clubhouse no photography is allowed.

We were in Longboat Key. Course we played was IMG Academy in Bradenton. Everything was in good shape but a majority of the staff were pricks so I don’t plan on going back.

I think a lot of it is that they see younger guys in an area that is primarily retirees and assume we are oblivious to the rules of golf and just looking to get drunk while cruising around in golf carts.

A little off topic and a bit away, but anyone going to make it to the Master’s this year?

Certainly not off topic haha. Unfortunately I wasn’t picked for tickets this year - otherwise I’d probably be there. You?

Yea, I won two practice round tickets, so I’m going to be going down there and hopefully getting around in somewhere. Might also get a tour of the Clubhouse, so fingers crossed as that’d be great.

This year marks the first “EA Sports Rory Mcilroy PGA Tour” video game.

[sakimano]

Wasn’t he in the cover 2 years ago?

He shared the cover with Tiger and it was still called ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour’ obviously.
