Re: Who\'s idea was it to hold a major in August in Oklahoma???
So they're supposed to have this on the Pacific Coast every year? I think that's the only place in the country right now that's not hot.

Re: Who\'s idea was it to hold a major in August in Oklahoma???
What's funny is that given the forecast I'm almost positive it will be less uncomfortable here in Phoenix this week than it would in OK, but people get sticker shock about the temperatures. The only difference is that Tulsa will see some reprieve now and then, if only slight, whereas we know it's gonna suck balls pretty consistently from June through September.
Pity that we'll almost certainly never get a major here, because I'd like to see the pros take on a true desert course under major tournament conditions. EDIT: yikes.

The players in good physical condition should have a clear advantage in this one. [/ QUOTE ] There isn't a single golfer in the field that the heat will have an effect on. This is simply business as usual. BO

You don't think a player like Tim Herron or John Daly or Phil Mickelson is at a disadvantage in the extreme heat?

[/ QUOTE ] Nope for at least two reasons. One, this isn't extreme heat. The media will try to make a big deal out of it but it's probably harder on the golf course than anything. Those bent grass greens are going to be syringed frequently. Ask golfers on the Asian Tours about extreme heat and humidity. Two, as I said, this is business as usual. Many tournaments this time of year are played in warm weather. The golfers are more than used to it. They simply drink lots of fluids and perhaps don't practice as much. BO

While Phil obviously isn't in good of shape as some of the players in the field, he's not even close to being where Herron and Daly are. Phil had actually worked really hard in the '06 offseason and throughout the year to get in better shape and is certainly fitter than he's been in a long time.
