The Big Shot From Friday

This is about the extent of the live golf I watched due to other viewing commitments. It's Phil Mickelson's 2nd hole drive up against the media center.

If Im not mistaken, that sort of shotlink data is not available to its casual fans? Or is it? And if so, where is it?

Sounds like a great event, too bad my local NBC station in DC is running continuous storm coverage along every other f'in channel. And the baltimore feed is running a fatso infomercial.

does the crack staff at gc not know that golf tournaments are sometimes played in the rain? there was so much water on every camera lens it was like watching them play golf through a shower curtain. why don't they use those sliding clear lens covers like they do when covering auto racing?

For evidence that the greenside bunker shot is one of the easiest in golf:

The two attempts (the bottom greenside bunkers in the picture) are both red dots. Red equals birdie. Two greenside bunker shots, two birdies. Maybe Nicklaus is right: furrow the bunkers!
