Never cared for Gary Player. Or Arnold Palmer even.

This sucks not only for the guys playing but it also means I'll be getting this around suppertime.

Even though I do not agree with Gary Player, he is entitled to his opinion. It just so happens that I feel he is wrong.

I'd love to see the demographics of how many golfers watch this tourney on the weekends verses how many "casuals" watch to see the landscaping.

Who is to say he's not talking about difficulty? It's holding Augusta versus courses in the US (Bethpage comes to mind) but also against Scotland, Ireland, The Albatros Course in France...lot of tough courses around Europe.

No one has ever said Augusta was the toughest course in the world, but as far as how manicured it is, I would have to be pointed in the direction of any course that could hold a candle. The attention to detail, how they can repair the course, cause the course to bloom when they want, has simply never been spoken of when talking about any other course.

...pretty much what I said

 

[BamaFan334]

You and I have talked about this.

 

[TerryP]

You and I have talked about this.

To two different varying degrees.

We've talked about how they pump warm water throughout the property in shady areas for the turf. We did so around the same time Alabama was doing the same thing with the turf in BDS.

The trees? The landscaping? Now we are into a genus and species discussion. They play this time of the year because those plants always bloom at the same time every year. Their genus does annually in the spring (IE: azaleas) but the species varies when they bloom. The different trees and landscaping plants around the property bloom at the same time. It isn't by control, it by the choice of the genus and species. Mother Nature is "A Tradition Like No Other."

It's not a lot different than a rose bush. You can have one that is a running rose, another that's a bush, but they are both roses who bloom at different times. (IE: The bush roses I have bud every year at the very same time the Bradford Pears bloom.) It's the third or fourth week of March, each season.

Understood, but Augusta Nationalnis a Fall club and everything is in bloom during that period as well. Everything is "planned" there and controlled. Agree Mother Nature is a Tradition Unlike Any Other. I like that, good word usage.

@BamaFan334 @sean Almost done here. I have to clean up the base of those three trees and lay down some mulch.

There are three (of 10) crepe myrtles in this image (not the one on the right, that is a Ginko Biloba with a variegated Nandina in front. The Ginko leaves will be the same color as the variegated Euonymous -- front center to the right of the pink rose (small Japanese Holly between the two pinks) -- and the Nandina will turn to the red and green you see in the roses.) The crepe myrtles? Same color when they bloom end of April, first of May..

There's a tangerine / peach colored rose between the two red ones on the left...hidden in this pic.

You can barely see it on the right...it's behind the Ginko, to the left of the Japaneses Holly's in front of the window. That's a yellow Texas rose.

Point being...all of these are planted because of their color based on blooming patterns. I'm controlling ...

I'm able to keep this look, all blooming, through the middle of the fall in most years.

 

[TerryP]

I can't remember what tournament. I know it was in January or February because they were still on the West Coast Swing. 2021.

Woods did a TV interview following the "car accident" and the subsequent problem with opioids. He looked just like this.

 

[TerryP]

He's comfortable. I'll play him in making the cut parlay.

If anyone wants to play for fun... Only takes about 2 minutes.
