I read that in the other thread Joe, it was a great post. #4 is the one I think most people should pay attention to, because stuff like that happens every year at this event.

Yup - especially with all of the talk about getting in early to play practice rounds and such. I would be all for seeing the courses up close and in person prior to playing in such a competitive event, but would caution about over extending one's body prior to the bright lights coming on.
You are so right dude, over working and the heat are a recipe for dehydration and disaster. The weather this year is very reminiscent of 2012 and I can't remember a time where I've ever sweated so much during a round. It's great for staying loose but you can get overcome by it quickly if we're not careful.
I'm signed up for three practice rounds, but I figure one of them is going to be alt shot, and the single round is to get a feel for the course. It would not surprise me if I spend some of the round on Weds I get in sort of just taking in the course and understanding where my game will get me from a singles perspective.
I think the real thing I'll have to watch myself on is hitting balls at the range on Friday. That's where I think I stand the chance of really wearing myself out unintentionally, much more so than playing a couple rounds.
I agree with this completely, and I have little doubt a few guys will fall victim to this again. I think it is important that everyone know what their limit is, and gear their practice round schedule as well as the number of balls they hit at the range with the understanding of what is to come for the weekend. Particularly important for those guys who don't have the opportunity to play in the soupy combo of 90+ degree heat and 80-90% humidity.

I can tell that the time on the range is spent working out but also catching up with the boys. You don't need to spend too much time digging holes on the range. Use your normal distances as a guage and either add or subtract from that. The swing you bring to MB is the swing that will be there Friday.
like it or not, that's the truth
You ain't gonna find your game on the range at True Blue. Everyone has prepared in their own way and it is what it is. I know some think they'll find something between now and then but its highly unlikely. That isn't a personal attack on anyone just the facts as it relates to the golf swing. If I had to give on bit of advice to the crew coming to MB. When you get your gear, get to know it through feel, yardages and trajectory. Don't start putting different moves on it to get what you are sued to seeing. Chances are the brand new gear is going to react differently than the gear people are currently gaming.
There are going to be a lot of emotions on the range that Friday. A lot of talking one's self into what you are seeing. The sooner you embrace what you have in your hands and what you are seeing out that equipment, the better prepared you bill when it comes time to play.
#HawkHugs for all!!I'll be gambling for hugs at the 60 yard flag. Come and take me on if you dare.
