AT&T Classic Diary -- Inside the Ropes With Jeff Hull

[holeout]

Thanks for posting all of this GREAT content for all of us to enjoy... for FREE!

Very, very cool of you guys to do this.

And Jeff, best of luck tomorrow morning!

Sorry for last night's Sounds of Silence, but both Jeff and I were exhausted after yesterday's round in the wind and rain and, ultimately, dark. There's lots to talk about, and we'll write tonight. Actually, given the terrific stresses of late, let's cut Jeff some slack and let him write tomorrow night (Saturday). And maybe me, too!

Meanwhile, Bagger's done great work getting the videos up (and more are coming tonight). If your Internet service is like mine, you'll need to first save each video to your computer -- right click and use the 'Save Target As' function. Then, replay the saved file. This works a whole lot better than streaming.

Bravo Jeff, Bravo

You came in prepared, you were mentally ready. You belong out there. You were handed some of the worst conditions ever seen at a TOUR event and grinded it out. The last two days were all about luck and timing but Mother Nature and the Tournament Board didn't give you either one.

No one is born a Champion, they are self made. Adversity doesn't stop them, it shapes them. I see a Champion coming up on the world stage - Its you Bro. You Da Man.

The FedX truck came early today and delivered these little gems.

Here's a clip of Neal Lancaster chatting with Lynn and teeing it up for a practice round.

Another of the Zach Johnson team with the Practice Green all to themselves

Later this evening I'll post a 30 minute video of Lynn walking a busy Practice Tee line featuring Jeff Hull, Brian Gay and others.

Jeff, thanks for letting us inside the ropes to see what it's like to prepare for a PGA tour event. You did a great job, especially considering the tough conditions and circumstances on Thursday. Looking forward to seeing you back out at a Tour event again!

I'd be interested in your thoughts on how this compared to your Nationwide Tour experience. Differences in course difficulty / setup? was your prep about the same?

Again, thanks.

Lynn, thanks for thinking of the LBG.com crowd and bringing the camera along; this is really great stuff.

Big thanks for the Z Johnson video! Being from IA he's obviously my favorite. Well, and of course Mr. Tiger.
