Well, I tell ya, this PGA Championship thing got messed up, real messed up. They stopped playin’, can ya believe it? Suspended, they called it. Fancy word for “can’t play no more.”
Seems like some weather rolled in, thunder and lightnin’ and all that. They said it was Atlanta weather, but who knows. Weather’s crazy everywhere these days. Anyways, they had to stop ’cause, well, you can’t be swingin’ them metal sticks around when the sky’s cracklin’, can ya? Common sense, I say.
So, there they were, these fellas, all set to hit the little white ball, and then bam! No more golf. Eight of ’em were still out there on the course when they blew the horn. 5:15 p.m., that’s when they stopped. I heard it on the radio, some fella talkin’ all fancy about it.
That Scottie Scheffler fella, he was doin’ real good. Nineteen under, they said. Beat the pants off them other fellas, Collin Morikawa and that Xander Schauffele fella. Four strokes ahead, that’s a lot, ain’t it? He must be good.

- Weather Delays Play

Now, they say they gonna start playin’ again tomorrow, 11:28 a.m. Hope the weather’s better, or they’ll be sittin’ around twiddlin’ their thumbs again. It ain’t right, all them folks comin’ to watch, and then they can’t even play. Waste of time and money, if you ask me.
They were talkin’ about somethin’ called LIV Golf players too. Said all them fellas can play in the PGA Championship now. And if they’re good enough, they can even play in that Ryder Cup thing. Don’t know much about that, sounds fancy though. Just a bunch of fellas hittin’ balls, I reckon.
Heard some talk about odds too. Some fella named Hughes, they said he’s 25 to 1 to win. And another one, Keith Mitchell, he’s the favorite, 22 to 1. Don’t know what that means, but sounds like folks are bettin’ on it. Always bettin’ on somethin’, these folks.
And then there was that other day, Friday it was. They had to stop playin’ then too. Said it was too dark. Sixteen fellas couldn’t even finish their second round. Darkness, they said. Well, I guess you can’t see the little white ball in the dark, can ya? Makes sense.
They stopped play at 5:28 p.m. local time that day, and then the weather got worse. Rain and wind, I bet. Just like today. Seems like they can’t catch a break, these fellas. Friday it was dark, and today it’s thunder. Golf’s a tough game, I tell ya.
And then Friday night, almost 9 p.m., they stopped again ’cause of the dark. So much stoppin’ and startin’, it’s a wonder they get any playin’ done at all. Folks must be gettin’ mighty frustrated, payin’ all that money to watch and then nothin’.
So, yeah, that’s the story. The PGA Championship got suspended. Weather and darkness, that’s what they say. Hope they get to playin’ soon, or them fellas are gonna get rusty. And the folks watchin’ are gonna get mighty bored. That’s all I gotta say about it. Just a mess, a real mess.
PGA Championship 2024 has been quite the event, what with all the stopping and starting. It’s hard to keep up, but that’s golf for ya, unpredictable as a mule in a hailstorm.
