A lot of talk (again) the last few days about @THEPLAYERS being the "fifth major" after @chambleebrandel gave his take on the air. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Here's mine in my column (from nearly 19 yrs ago!)...with a few prescient predictions:

First true test for our brand new @Billy_Bunker liners at Pine Lake Country Club with 3.5β of rainfall yesterday πͺπ―
Simple rake on the bottoms today. Talk about a return on investment!

I havenβt posted much in a while but this scene this morning inspired me. For those that havenβt experienced newly constructed bunkers using one of the modern methods, this is an un-raked, un-touched Better-Billy Bunker in its sixth season the morning after over three inches of torrential rain. #fairview#bunker#betterbilly#greenwich#golf#golfcoursemaintenance#reesjones#golflife#turflife
The amount of time spent on old bunkers versus new bunkers after 4β of rain is extreme. Hopefully next year we will get 17,18 done in-house and 1&2 done with master plan work. The only thing left will be 16. These are the days - a day out from one of our majors- the BBB pay off.
The late afternoon light at Metedeconk is sublime....and so is the golf. They also happen to have one of the greatest practice facilities on the planet.
