Keegan Bradley used to sneak onto Bethpage Black with an eightsome

Great story here from Keegan Bradley in advance of this weekend's Barclays: back in the olden days, he used to sneak onto The Black on its closed day. The course superintendent would turn a blind eye to Bradley and "seven or eight" (!) of his friends piling onto the course at the third hole and playing an utterly deserted course. And for anyone who's ever played the uber-popular Black course, where rounds can run six hours or more, the idea of an empty course is enough to bring a tear to your eye.
