The PGA Championship

Postby Webb » Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:41 pm

The last major golf tournament of the year starts August 11 in Atlanta.

The weather will be brutal - mid-90's (F) and a chance of rain any day.

Yeah he's been atop the leaderboards alot more this year. Just can't wait to see him finally pull through!! He's started a puma trend too...I've seen lots of young kids and teens my age wearing puma hats at junior tournaments.

That has to be one of the hardest holes I've ever seen - 223 yards over water, then you have to stop it.

I might use an 8 iron on my second shot.

223 yards...that's like a 3 wood for me.  :D Not only that, I'd have to make sure it would check on the landing and not skid off the green with alot of spin.

Tough course. It really got interesting in the last nine holes.
