Month: August 2020

Howdy, welcome to Junior’s Bourbon Hall.  We will step aside from Bourbon for a bit as we are in Major Golf Week.  Well not totally we are sipping on one as we write this.  First major in 13 months and feels good to see big boys all together playing out in CA.  TPC Harding Park looks to be a great challenge for the players this week.  Watching could be a challenge as you must have ESPN+ for the daytime coverage. This is a bit late but, here is what I have place a wager on for this Major: First Round Leader Vic Hoveland, Cam Champ, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele Outright Winner Gary Woodland and Dustin Johnson Top 5 Tiger Woods and Adam Scott Top 10 Paul Casey Tommy Fleetwood Sergio Garcia Phil Mickelson Good luck to others who may have placed a small wager on the PGA Championship. Now sit back enjoy that Bourbon and watch some fantastic golf. Junior

Howdy, welcome to the Sunday golf discussion.  Watching the Sunday round of the WGC – FedEx St. Jude Invitational (Go Phil) and started thinking about playing golf.  Do you prefer to play morning or afternoon golf? Morning: Light dew on the greens and fairways Playing quickly. All morning players love the 3 hour or under 18-hole rounds No beverage cart Early to rise to get to the course Limited practice session before heading out Greens change as the dew and sun come out Lunch at the course. Do you drink at 10:30 AM? Chores around the house get done Afternoon: Sun baked fairways and greens. (Faster) Generally slower unless you catch the perfect time Beverage cart for that aiming fluid Head to the course at a chosen time Plenty of practice time to get ready for the round Dinner at the course afterwards or cocktails or both. (I chose both) Once you hit the course nothing else matters and chores better be done, or they will be tomorrow Now that you have seen the positives and negatives here is my take.  Morning golf is for the guys you like to play with.  Get the gamble on and go win the match.  You are there to golf and talk trash to each other.  Play quickly and can still get back home to get other items done around the house. Afternoon golf is the time to work on a few things and play with the family or friends as couples.  You are there to socialize plod along and enjoy the gorgeous weather while playing some golf.  While you may have a game, you will just be out for a great afternoon of fun and beverages. Either way get out play and enjoy the limited weather in the Midwest. Now sit back relax and watch the finish. Junior
