Apparently yesterday Tyrell Hatton had a Hole in one on 14th and was cursing himself for wasting it, only Tyrell could carry on like that

Course looks immaculate, so many more stands and drink/food vans appear more also, so hopefully they cope with the extra crowds and learn from last year.

You a volunteer?

Hopefully the crowds spread out through the course.

As Booney said, member of Grange. They only let Members in today, a little sweetener I think as originally nobody was allowed in.

The original deal was LIV four years in Adelaide, but only two confirmed at Grange. There is a vote of Members after if they want the Club to bid to host the next two years. I don’t think any of the other “big three” clubs have the area big enough to host, so Grange the only option.

But push by large group of Members to vote NO. Sick of the disruption. Basically two months affected with short holes, only 16 holes, or closed altogether and lots pi55ed off. Mine is 6 day member at $3600, so that’s $600 affected for instance.

Personally I think the positives the Club gets far outweigh the negatives and am all for keeping LIV here, but get the feeling it may be closer vote than I thought few months ago

I've got no idea how the pga/liv stuff is gonna end up anymore. With the us senate involved the whole thing might implode yet.

PIF dictate to the PGA how their season will be run.
LIV continues.

Nearly 12 months on and still no idea.

The sticking point now is the US players don't want to play outside the US, surprise surprise. Too many egos involved for this to end well for the public, especially those outside of America. With more and more sponsors leaving the PGA events that aren't elevated events the tipping point has to come soon.

Brooks Koepka made an interesting point a few weeks back, the agreement isn't between the PGA and LIV, its the PGA and PIF. LIV players are happy where they are, they don't want back on the PGA tour.

It's just a shambles really.

Thats the key point of difference, hes the only European on the board and he sees that going international is required to expand the sport. The rest don't care.
