Will We Finally Learn About Shinnecock In 2018?

/

That's the question I ask in a Golf World Monday item (link works for non-subscribers too). Long rumored and maybe the worst kept secret in golf, it seems about time for the USGA and Shinnecock to put the finishing touches on the 4000 page contract and make an announcement. Or maybe the lawyers just need to edit that clause titled "No Mowing, Rolling Or Any Other Perceived Attempt To Speed Up Greens Between The Hours Of 10 p.m And 4 a.m."

"I felt bad. I didn't thank the sponsors. I didn't thank FedEx. I didn't thank the volunteers. I was not quite sure really what was happening right then."

You gotta love Harrison Frazar and his honesty. From Teresa Walker's AP report on his first win, just two events short of his medical exemption running out:

You don't know who you're supposed to talk to. I felt bad. I didn't thank the sponsors. I didn't thank FedEx. I didn't thank the volunteers. I was not quite sure really what was happening right then.

"The only tournament that I won in Q-school, you walked in, signed your card in the scoring trailer, and they gave you a pat on the back, 'Good job.' You walked out the door. There was nobody there."

As a friend of mine said yesterday when discussing the marvels of Twitter: "It's like having Dan Jenkins in my living room watching the Open with me."
