@garrett_TFE @fried_egg_golf Do you have a link for this image? Or is it a private document?

These two renderings of a potential "reimagined" East Potomac Park appear in a fundraising document distributed by the new "National Garden of American Heroes Foundation." It's unclear to what degree these (very AI-looking) images represent Tom Fazio's actual plans for the golf course, but I think they reveal some important things about the Trump administration's intentions at East Potomac: 1) The new "championship" golf course would take up most of the island. This would mean losing the perimeter road and bike path, the open space at the southern tip of the island, and perhaps even the famous cherry blossom trees, which feature prominently in an annual festival. These non-golf resources at East Potomac Park are used heavily by D.C. residents. 2) Building a bigger course would also mean reducing the number of available golf holes at the facility, likely from 36 to 18, as well as eliminating a historic, recently restored mini-golf course. Inevitably, this would make golf in D.C. less accessible, especially to beginning golfers. 3) Green fees for East Potomac's Blue Course currently top out at $48. There's no way the number would stay there post-reno. 4) The whole nouveau-riche, water-feature-centric aesthetic shown in the renderings is very much in line with Fazio's past work, but not at all representative of East Potomac's historical character and purpose. 5) The administration and the President himself have been open about their hopes to bring a major championship or Ryder Cup to the renovated East Potomac. I think it would be tremendously difficult to stage a tournament of that scale on this island, even after the reno. It does not appear to me that there's enough room.

@TronCarterNLU TGMTR is gonna drag Spieth to relevance today. A Great Man indeed!

@YeahClickClack Langston GC in DC is a much better course than East Potomac but both probably deserve it. The first African American GC in the country

With the season starting up - a reminder that quality #golf isn’t always expensive. Here’s my 2026 ‘Most Intriguing 100 Under $100’ (among U.S. courses I’ve played/want to play). If missing something good, let me know. List = Max Green Fee, Walking Rate

@MasonFanatic If Mason had a decent February I’d be shouting it from the rooftops…

@TwitttrlessJohn Give me a 4 bid A10

If every bubble team loses, did anyone really lose?

@A10Stats Billups not close

Hey you, yeah you! Who do you think should be the Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year?

@T3Bracketology @WelfareJam14946 Where do you see them if they lose to VCU? Next 4 out?

@WelfareJam14946 They'd be first 4 out without it, the chances go up quite a bit if they can beat VCU on Saturday

NEW Seed List - 2/17 Last 5 IN: Texas, Vandy, OU, Wake, UCI First 11 OUT: VCU, Ark, UGA, IU, Xavier, TCU, K State, UNC, SMU, San Francisco, Cincy More bubble detail and seed line detail below.

@BillRohland @masonhoops_com @MasonMBB @jaredbillups1_ Dudes the best defender in the league. Anyone who doubts just watch him for a game. Dude makes 10 *exceptional* defensive plays every game. Best combo of defensive instincts and skills I’ve seen at Mason.

@masonhoops_com @MasonMBB @jaredbillups1_ If he isn't under consideration I'd be stunned. There aren't 5 other defenders better than him in the A-10. And he can guard (and has) 1-5. Show me another guy guarding Robbie Avila one game and X Brown the next. he's the most versitile defender in the league and is my DPOY

Perhaps over looked play of the @masonmbb game yesterday. @jaredbillups1_ forcing a turnover just before halftime. Mason was down 37-24, turned the turnover into points and went into halftime just down 11. doesn't seem like much, but it was a big play in the game.

@T3Bracketology This is how I know you’re a true sicko

Anyone that watched GMU vs ECU knows that is a bad loss in quotes. I know ECU is not too consistent, but if you watched that, you know.

George Mason comes from 16 down and SURVIVES against St Joes! Game winner for Joes goes in and out. What a game. 11 wins in a row now for @MasonMBB, the leaders in the A10 & a Top 15 defense in the country. Both “bad Ls” were on buzzer beaters too btw. At-large contender.

@peteybuckets When FOX needs to schmooze their biggest advertisers, and they can set up a round of golf with Tom Brady to do it, it quickly becomes a great ROI.

I fundamentally don't understand what makes any broadcaster worth $37 million. People are going to watch football no matter who is calling the games. Is there any evidence that broadcasters affect ratings or other top line numbers?

@NoLayingUp I’m a Commanders fan and hate the Chiefs…

@AndyTFE I can’t WAIT to find out if PJ went to the Jets game

@PFTCommenter Wagner is taking off! Let’s see how this turns out for them

@ByGeorgeGMU @GMUGiantKiller The ceiling is the roof with this kid

21 | 15 | 4 tonight. Including the game winner. Unreal performance

@ByGeorgeGMU @mkaufman1 Anyone able to find the game on fubo?

@mkaufman1 I’m no Fubo expert, so I have no clue. It’s gonna be a struggle to find this game

GAME DAY Mason vs Charlotte Today at 5:30pm Watch on FuboTV or passthaballlive.com/2023/11/sun-53…

@NoLayingUp Huge for Blockie

Rough is over seeded around the greens this year at Colonial. And not too thick. Bermuda killed off ahead of the renovation. Would expect shots around the green to be a bit easier this week.

@MrProWestie Welcome Westie! Where are you catching the City game tomorrow?

I am ready…. …to queue 🫠
