Verizon Heritage / PGA TOUR / April 16-19, 2009
 

Brian Gay is now the leader through his 14th hole in Round 2. He has birdied six of those fourteen holes, including five in a row on holes 4 through 9, for a front nine 30. He is now -5 for the day and -9 for the tournament. The Golf Channel is televising Rounds 1 and 2; CBS provides the weekend coverage beginning at 3 p.m. EST.

Brian's 30 on the front side has been eclipsed only by Craig Barlow, who shot 28 in 2003. By sheer coincidence, I met Craig on Wednesday when he joined John Riegger and me for lunch at Jennings Mill CC, site of this week's Nationwide Tour event in Athens, Georgia. He and John live about two miles from each other in Henderson, Nevada (just outside Las Vegas), but only see each other on tour!

Go Brian!

Change of Plans
 

I've rearranged my weekend lesson schedule and will be with Brian in his pre-round warmup and in his gallery for the round. Harbour Town Golf Links is tailor made for him, and I gotta see this one in person!

:golfcart2:

glad to see him playing well. looking forward to watching him some at the practice round at the Wach....:rolleyes: ..... I mean the Quail Hollow Championship.

Seems Like Old Times
 

mcflog,

I'll be at Quail Hollow the first part of the week with Curt Sanders, who is in on his exemption as Carolinas PGA Player of the Year. If you're there on any of those days, flag me down. I'd like to meet you!

I was last there in 1969, a young serviceman watching Dale Douglass win the Kemper Open.

:salut:

When I lived in Myrtle Beach I played with Curt a few times in some tournaments. Great player, great guy.

Awesome to see so much of Brian so far. Good luck for the rest of the week!

As some of the old timers around here would say... Lord willing and the river don't rise, should be there all day Tuesday. Would like to meet you as well.

Old Home Week
 

Sending you a PM.

Gooood
 

Great front-9. Hopefully we'll have as many pics of Brian the next couple of days!!

I was wondering a bit about Brians extensor-action at address, or should I call it his non excisting EA at address. Is it something that you've worked on, talked about?? And do you (Lynn) see it as a flaw in Brian motion?

GO Brian!!! A couple of 5 in a row streaks of birdies and you'll be dressed in that nice jacket sunday afternoon:golf: :golf: :golf:
