[Vindog]

I sincerely hope I misread or misinterpreted that. (not Elcuver's)

I really do

If I were playing I'd love that threesome. My first two rounds would be nice and quiet.

Unless you are in the group behind them.

[poppyhillsguy]

Thursday morning when everyone is following Tiger, Phil, and Bubba, I'll be on the front 9 following Adam Scott, Keegan, and Webb.

The pairing is great for TV, but terrible for spectators and the group behind the big 3 pairing.

Joe Ogilvie, Stephen Ames, and Tim Herron must have been thinking, "gee USGA, what did I do to you."

[spooky]

There are people who don't particularly like hearing thanks to God and Jesus for helping them win. Not sure there is anything wrong with not liking someone for that. If the poster was saying he doesn't like Bubba just because he has a faith then that is another matter but I doubt that was what he meant.

the group of Korean Power is close behind on the pairing sheet!!!
Just 5 groups back.


KJ, YE, & KT

Now that took some thought

The creative genius of the pairings is being overshadowed by the 2 big-dog groups. You've got the American Big 3, the Euro Big 3, the Korean Big 3, plus some of the other groups were pretty comical as well:

The Bob's:
Robert Karlsson
Robert Rock
Bob Estes

The Carl's:
Carl Pettersson
Charles Howell
Charl Schwartzel

The PGA Winners:
DL III
Paddy
Toms

The US Open Winners:
Els
Ogilvy
Cabrera

The young guns:
DJ
Fowler
Ishikawa

and

Day
Duffner
Oosthuizen

[idgolfguy]

Good call! Makes for entertaining viewing over the first two days.

I'm more along the lines of what spooky is saying here. I was trying to get a reaction out of u guys, I hope I didn"t offend anyone too much. But in my experience the MORE devote christians offend me most. Mostly the perspectives held toward gay people, science, and women's rights are what bother me, and cause my negative reaction toward them. Of course bubba may be on my side of these issues, so I'm speaking more about what I feel his religious public image represents.

This is not ehe place for this discussion, and I apologize for being somewhat of a troll, it was a knee jerk reaction kinda post. I hope sincerely to get to watch bubba slice and dice some shots next week, that part of him I LOVE.

What's the over/under on him actually wearing the black shoes?

I noticed the "approved" stamp on the clothing script for TW. Approved by whom?

Not likely. I wish he would. I saw him wearing them during a practice round photo at Olympic before Memorial, but seems like he refuses to wear them in tournament play.

Mculver, you brought up the issue when you positioned science vis a vis religion.

And this post is just not worthy of you.

Otherwise, Tigers chip in on 16 provided an epiphany (by the classic definition, of course) for many.

You should keep your views and assumptions of religion and religious people to yourself.

I agree think that disliking someone just because they're "too religious" is a little strange.

I am a scientific person and an atheist and so I don't like [u][b]religion[/b][/u], and I don't like when people [b][u]talk[/u][/b] about religion, but that doesn't mean I don't like the person. That's a little extreme.

Phil and Watson were paired together for the first round of the Memorial (until Phil withdrew). I think that's a high-caliber group if you ask me.

Why are we turning this into a religion talk? There are plenty of Christianity forums out there for you Bible-thumping, brainwashed folks. (Sorry, had to get that out).

That's a lot of disrespect for such a young body. But you're right...not the place for this even though despite popular belief...science and religion [i]can[/i] co-exist.

Google Georges LeMaitre....that is all

[ethanlculver]

Anyone know what time TV coverage will come on Thursday and Friday? Don't know how much of the Woods-Mickelson-Watson group's first round we'll see live.

[DriveIt"N"3Putt]

I really think that it is going to make for some very great television with the three of them playing together and considering Tiger imploded the last time he played with Phil so that should add some extra drama as well.

It sure will. I hope that Tiger's collapse at Pebble had nothing to do with Phil...that he just wasn't mentally ready to win. I expect him to be lowest in group first 2 rounds.

Absolutely true. Thanks. Age isn't even relevant here. Don't mean to sound cocky or arrogant, but many people have told me that I'm more mature and intelligent than a lot of adults they know and I believe them. I know I am mature beyond my age.

But please, enough with the off-topic posts. Anything other than the U.S. Open pairings can be discussed in private messages.

THIS is the pairing that San Francisco will love the most! I mean, look at these guys.....cmon. They'll be glued to their sets in the Castro!!!!!

[touch]

Talked with someone who has a wife working in the Phil camp and said he is red hot about the pairing.
I hope it does not get to him like Memorial. I would like to see Lefty do well and take it to TW.
