This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

There was a lot to like about the event by CKDexterHaven

Campus was in beautiful shape (except for the Grotto), the logistics of parking, walking to the gate, viewing the play, getting around the course and patronizing the merchandise tent were all on par with most other PGA/USGA venues I've visited. There were some things to complain about, but not many. The crowds seemed fairly knowledgeable and respectful of the players. The course set-up was challenging, more so later in the week when the pin placements got tougher. The greens themselves have a lot of different features and don't afford too many straight, flat putts. The players handled them well though. They are in fact really good at what they do.
