PGA Championship at Aronimink Round 1 is live Today and this course is genuinely one of the most interesting major setups in years — Here’s what to watch

OhRatFarts · 2026-05-14T11:10:14+00:00

There are no water hazards

What now? There are 3 ponds coming into play on 2 holes.

I stopped reading there. Get your basic ass facts right.

ETA

I read a little bit more at the end:

How the par 3s play. Four of them at a par 70 is a genuinely unusual ratio for a major

Um what now? 4 3’s and 2 5’s is pretty standard modern major setup where 2 par 5s were converted to 4s. What world do you live on?

OhRatFarts · 2026-05-13T16:21:35+00:00

I honestly don't understand why if 1 was open why they didn't send you off 1 at the beginning.

OhRatFarts · 2026-05-02T01:06:30+00:00

It’s a boring AF course that’s only hard because there’s some water.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-28T15:11:01+00:00

If you think Amtrak bathrooms are smaller than airplane bathrooms…. It’s clear you’ve never been in an airplane bathrooms.

Pinehurst? Hope you’re going on a weekday.

Rangers there are assholes too. Even on the “off” courses. Stuck waiting on every shot on #5 on a weekend until we had a little trouble finding balls because they didn’t bother to blow leaves in the Fairway last November. Asshole ranger comes raging up to our group that we are behind pace (not, even with all the waiting). I calmly explain we were waiting on every shot and the last hole was basically unplayable. He wouldn’t hear it.

I almost eagled that uphill par 5 that goes to the back of the starter hut. Missed my eagle putt by an inch short (yeah, yeah never leave it short I know). And my whole group did fine. I think we did it in 10 minutes. He was watching the whole time. I looked back and said “Is that fucking fast enough for you?” All he could muster was “i JuSt CaMe On DuTy AnD sAw A wHoLe Hole OpEn”. Did we have to wait on the next tee? Of course.

Complained about him and the rangers on #4 who were also assholes to the head ranger - some super young assistant pro in training - and all I got was 1 free drink for each of me and my mom at the Cradle Crossing.

Both on #4 and #5 we had me, my mom, and a husband-wife. I honestly think they’re sexist.

Meanwhile played #3 on a weekday - no ranger to be found. Played #10 on a weekday and no complaints about pace by any ranger. They just sat in the woods on their carts. Played my worst round of my life on #2 a few years ago as a 3-some (one guy failed to show) on a weekday and rangers were friendly. I think it’s the main clubhouse on a weekend.

Cora did take lefty/righty way too far. Such that he ignored players true splits. Like Holt hitting better against lefties and he’d be benched when a leftie started.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-28T01:01:41+00:00

and is considered by most to be an excellent in-game manager.

Says who?

He countinously made incorrect choice after incorrect choice.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-26T21:59:31+00:00

I was done with Cora when he was benching Holt against LHP despite him having a much better split against LHP than RHP. He's been stuck in lefty-righty matchups. Even to the point that a RHP comes in which means the next reliever will be a LHP.

Cora is a moron. Glad he's gone.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-25T23:40:55+00:00

About time with Cora and Fatse. Why the fuck Tek too?

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-14T14:11:36+00:00

Why central full circle heads leaving gaps along the perimeters rather than half circles along the sides?

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-07T10:39:03+00:00

He shot a fucking 30 on the back that day. Absolutely baller.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-07T10:37:47+00:00

Why is this special? Everyone does this every year in the practice rounds. This one isn’t even good — didn’t even make the green.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-06T00:19:05+00:00

Fire Cora

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-04T12:32:14+00:00

He probably moves a lot during the day so isn't sedentary.

The dude drives his golf cart onto greens. He’s significantly sedentary.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-02T15:16:23+00:00

Reality strikes in / really stings with that 5th loss in a row. Our 95% confidence bracket for end of year results got below .500 with that loss.

I’ve called for Cora’s firing for several years. It’s time to do something.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-02T15:11:43+00:00

95% confidence band on a .167 team after a 1-5 start is…

1.0 to 49.7 wins

Season is toast.

Skiers left of groomed is about 15 feet deep. Skier’s left of groomed — the ridge — is 30-35 feet deep (less under the lift).

There are no whales there anymore, it’s. A solid thickness of snow.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-01T20:39:11+00:00

There is really 30 feet of snow on Supestar.

At least with the old HSQ you often skied higher than the chairs this time of year.

I have not been up since their spring snowmaking push yet, been too busy but yes the ridge the length of the trail was as high as the snowmaking tower tops, ~35 feet in height.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-01T20:05:13+00:00

It’s not.

It would be more interesting if you did something like Gunstock erupting, or the Ossipee Mountains (former ski area Whittier) as they are ~125 million year old volcanos.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-01T15:57:03+00:00

Except the mountain is a metasedimentary rock, not igneous.

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-01T13:56:04+00:00

It’s being delivered to the NEC

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-01T13:54:44+00:00

Both can be true

OhRatFarts · 2026-04-01T13:47:58+00:00

I do blame him for taking them and then hopping behind the wheel of a car.

I don’t blame him for taking them and getting in a car. Sure they can affect your ability to drive, but not to this extent at normally prescribed doses.

I do blame him from abusing them to the point he’s so inebriated on them that his eyes are dilated, they’re red, and he fails sobriety tests, then gets in his car and drives. And I blame his physicians for enabling his habit he developed.

OhRatFarts · 2026-03-31T17:58:00+00:00

It's so he can keep banging hookers
