unreal location for a Golf Course

[cleveland gop]

PING A LING, to the golf peeps!!!

[SoCalPol]

*great course provides great views of the NYC skyline, the Statue of Liberty along the river shoreline.*

Have great great grandparents who lived in Jersey City.

Did you see the special on the making of the course? It was a complete mess of a place before being turned to its present state....

[Clint N. Suhks]

TiVo BUCKET UP!

[Timeout]

Can’t wait! I’ll be here Thursday.
Thanks for the ping.

We drive past this every day on our way to work. It’s very exciting for Jersey City.

And....they fixed the three big BuMpS in the road for this tourney, so that is all good.

[Ready4Freddy]

Did they find Jimmy Hoffa?

I also find it hard to believe that they were able to remove all the pollutants.

....Open Champ(and FR's favorite)Stewart Cink

Awwww! You made me grin!

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Did you see the special on the making of the course?

What special? Golf Channel? I will look for it.

My neighbors moved here from NJ - says the course is amazing. He is up there this week and will attend for two days.

[Timeout]

I’d like to see that too. Interesting hearing the players’ comments about the course.

Go, Stewart!

[Timeout]

Hmmmm. I didn’t realize it was Jersey City.

Isn’t that where Khadafi’s coming this weekend?

(Maybe someone can hit a wayward tee shot and bonk him on the head!)

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Jimmy Hoffa! - made me LOL!

[cleveland gop]

It was on CBS on Saturday afternoon. Interesting stuff!!!

Some of that rough looks links like too. I wouldn’t want to be hitting shots out of it.....

[Moonman62]

I saw it. There used to be oil storage tanks with no bottoms on the site. They put a membrane over the land and added fifty feet of soil over it. I’ll be watching the tournament just to see the course.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Some of that rough looks links like too.

Sure as heck does. Statue of Liberty in the background is cool too.

When I was in college in the early 1970s I had a summer job for two years on the NJ Turnpike that required me to spend some time in the Elizabeth-Newark-Jersey City area. What always bothered me most was the traffic and air quality (lack thereof). Hopefully they have cleaned that up. The players probably would not like the smell of the old Linden gas works.

The last two years I transferred down to the south end and that was like heaven by comparison. Much preferred the Moorestown-Bordentown ecology to North Jersey.

[cleveland gop]

I can’t remember if they played this course last year or if they were out on Long Island. I want to see the layout of this course more than anything. I can’t think offhand of another course that holds a high profile event like this in as urban an area as this one is.

Most all other courses are in little enclaves that are cut off from urban characteristics. Not Liberty National, though.

[cleveland gop]

some adjustments to the TV schedule as I found the accurate one.....

On Saturday, Golf Channel has coverage from 1:00-3:00 with CBS picking things up at 3.
On Sunday, Golf Channel has coverage from Noon-2:00 with CBS picking things up at 2:00.....

Everything else is the same as my earlier post.....
