Was able to play Peachtree in Atlanta Sunday. Very cool experience, Bobby Jones history, and their interclub outings are the who’s who of the best golf courses in the world. Agronomy was immaculate and the rolling hilled terrain made for some very fun shots.

Sure you are correct there but Leavitt surely doesn’t protect the ball well enough.
With these ridiculous turnovers

I’m 56, come early and have a great time and a few pops, stay late and drive about 1.5 hours to get to a bed. Will do it as long as God gives me on this earth.

Oh btw I drive in from Houston on Friday and back Sunday.

If you live in Louisiana imo you have no excuse to not stay and soak up the best game and gameday experience in America. It’s only 8 times a year.

If Tiger Woods’s entire career were mapped across the prize money structure of Jack Nicklaus’s peak era (the late 1960s through the 1970s), his official PGA Tour career earnings would plummet from his actual $121 million down to an estimated $2.3 million to $2.7 million total.Despite his staggering record of 82 official PGA Tour victories and 15 major championships, the lean purses of the 1970s mean his absolute dominance would yield a fraction of a single modern weekly paycheck.
Jack Nicklaus’ Remarkable 1972 Season—In Today’s Money

In 1972, Jack Nicklaus produced one of the greatest individual seasons in golf history. He played in 20 official events, recorded seven victories and four runner-up finishes, and earned a then-record $320,542 on the PGA Tour.

Here is how his season might compare using today’s tournament purses:

Tournament 1972 Finish 1972 Earnings Estimated Modern Value
The Masters 1st $25,000 $3.6 million
U.S. Open at Pebble Beach 1st $30,000 $4.3 million
The Open Championship 2nd $13,500 $2.1 million
Westchester Classic 1st $50,000 $3.6 million
Bing Crosby National Pro-Am 1st $28,000 $3.6 million
Doral-Eastern Open 1st $30,000 $1.6 million
Walt Disney World Open 1st $30,000 $1.6 million
U.S. Professional Match Play 1st $40,000 $2.5 million
Other finishes—including three runner-ups and four additional Top 10s Various Approximately $74,000 Approximately $6 million

The Bottom Line

Based strictly on comparable modern tournament purses, Nicklaus’ 1972 performance could have earned him approximately $29 million.

If we also credit him with modern equivalents of the FedEx Cup regular-season and playoff bonuses, his total could approach an extraordinary $62 million.

Either way, Nicklaus’ 1972 season deserves to be mentioned alongside the most dominant modern campaigns—including those of Scottie Scheffler.
I put in and haven’t heard anything. You have to buy all the tickets that they award you.
For his sake, not ours, I hope the die he is casting of not finishing doesn’t cause him mental gremlins in the future. Sam’s demeanor reminds of Rickie Fowler on the course, too calm and not being able for the most part to close the big opportunities that he puts himself in the mix to win.
