Verizon Heritage -- Only Shotmakers Need Apply
Brian Gay is set to go at 1:10 p.m. in tomorrow's first round of the Verizon Heritage. As has been the case since its inception in 1969, this premier $5.4 million PGA TOUR event is being played on the Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/r012/index.html Unlike many of the TOUR's current venues, this is not a 'bombers' course. Instead, it plays to "only" 6,973 yards (but also to a par of 71) and places a premium on accuracy. That's right up Brian's alley: He finished #1 in Driving Accuracy last month at both the PODS Championship and at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Further proof of the pudding is his T9 finish last year on rounds of 66-67-73-70=276 and winnings of $148,400! :occasion: Go Brian! :rambo: |
Good luck brian

Out of the Gate
-3 through 8, I love it.
What a great week in the making for LBG. |
LBG!!! LBG!!! LBG!!! KOOLAID KIDZ!!!
This course was MADE for Brian Gay . . . how about a little trip to the land of milk and honey for B. Gay!!! Red Letter Day for LBG!!! I bet Homer Kelley is smilin' down on us today! |
A Solid Start
Brian Gay was out out in 33 in the first round of the Verizon Heritage in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. A double bogey at 12 marred the fun, and a birdie at 13 was offset by a bogey at the last.
At the end, it was a wonderful round of 70, -1, for the day and a T20 in a stellar field of 130. We're proud of you, Brian. :salut: Keep it going! |

#17
I was just "semi-watching" delayed TGC coverage of round 1 and looked up to see Brian teeing off on the par 3 number 17. Great coverage of his pre-shot all the way through the hit which looked like it ended up about 30 feet. (Looked like a bit of a punch shot called for by some wind that seemed to be kicking pretty good).
Yoda..... all I can say is beautiful and functional! What a great looking motion! CG |
Good shooting Brian!! A few more rounds like that and you could be lifting the silverware on Sunday.

Go Brian!
After buying a house 12 months ago and spending all of my spare time renovating it, I haven't been able to fit any Golfing Machine or practice in for what seems like forever. I just started to get back into it this past week and one of the first areas of the site that I couldn't get enough of was "On TOUR With LBG".:thumright
It's been so much fun going through all of the Brian Gay threads (seems like a really great guy) from last year, through to this one right here and seeing how well he is doing. I look forward to the day (not too far in the future at this rate) when Brian does the deed and we can all celebrate. Congratulations to you both for how well your going Brian. :occasion: You've got another fan here Brian =D> Good luck this week!! GB |
:clap: Nice 67 today, Brian!

I was watching the preview of the Brian Gay and Yoda DVD. I watched that wedge shot Brian hits at the :50 second mark about 100 times today and I have to say, I can think of only one golf swing I have ever seen that was as good as that one--the Ben Hogan down-the-line driver in the video in which McLean reviews his swing (the first video).
Speaking of great swings, I would cut off my pinky finger to get that swing vision of Boo Weekley from today's telecast. Either that or I would pay money for a copy of it. |
Boo has a great swing doesn't he? Tons-o-lag. He and Joe Durant are two of the best ball strikers I have ever seen.

play suspended
Play has been suspended due to wind, but Brian is playing well.

Play suspended due to wind? How windy is it, I would have thought it is part of the game unless it is life threatening (hurricane).

Grinding It Out
Play in the weather-delayed Verizon Heritage resumed this morning at 'dark-thirty' -- 7:45 a.m. ET.
In the early-morning cold and wind, Brian Gay is 2-under at the turn and T9. This guy is good! :salut: |
You Know It Ain't Easy
In the cold and wind, Brian Gay today fired a final round 73 to finish at 4-under par 280 and T16. His effort earned $80,000.
Brian once again beat all but a handful of the world's best players on a very tough golf course under very difficult conditions. It ain't easy being good! :salut: |

Bucket will be a groupie at the Wachovia next month. Can't wait to see that action again live and in person . . . I even got me a new wife beater and some toof paste for the affair. I plan on making my presence felt on TV too! Instead of hollerin' "UDAMAN!!!!" listen for Bucket's lispy southern drawl hollerin' "THERE AIN'T NO ANGLE OF APPROACH TO AN ANGLE OF APPROACH!!!! WOOOOOO!!! DOGGIE!!!" I'm pretty sure that will be all the rage in a year or two . . . y'all heard it here first! |
?
:naughty:

Plus, as he mentions - I am saving up for a new operation that will completely erase all memory of Bucket from my mind- very expensive but evidently a potential huge source of revenue for the surgeons- as they have had many, many requests for this very same surgery- including his wife (ooh!- ouch!) Finally, I hate to give advice to the grease bucket but for the sake of all Southerner's- I would suggest that you yell "THERE AIN'T NO ANGLE OF APPROACH TO AN ANGLE OF APPROACH PROCEDURE!" "WOOOOO DOGGIE!" I could say more but I need to go- I haven't been able to locate my medicine for the last couple of days and it is getting bad! Mike O. |
