The Worst Seat In The House?

The spectator friendly press room at the BMW Championship does have a San Quentin feel, no? Kind of a leftover set piece from The Green Mile? I was wrong, this makes watching golf at Bellerive look exciting.

The press room is seriously the most boring place on the golf course. Why anyone would want to see it is way beyond me.

How bout resizing that image? 1200 by 1600???
09.4.2008 | Unregistered CommenterImage size?
I like the vertical lines in the image, they give the newsworthy gothic horror feel and they need to be kept.

Geoff, I know you are pissed the Western isn't in Chicago, and you've made it clear about 8,000 times that you don't care for Bellerive, but seriously, cut St Louis some slack. The last time we were set to host a PGA event, it was cancelled due to the 9/11 tragedies. Seven years later, the tour comes back and a freaking hurricane blows into town. Please just let us enjoy the guys being in town for a few days. THe next time they come back we're a *&^# lock for an earthquake.

Barry, bless your heart for calling it the Western. Somebody remembers!
