Definitely THE tournament this wee, the only one I'm DVR'ng, although I'll be watching to see how Speith does in his 1st title defense. Don't think Phil has a prayer; not in good form and little exposure to the Aberdeen course. Would love to see he and Rors compete.

Wow, Phil's shot off the cart path!

You can catch it here on the live blog if you missed it.

Also Rory with a 436 yard drive....no cart path...he's currently in the lead a 7 under, great shot into the 18th fairway as well.

Sixth oldest course in the world on what many regard as the best outward nine in Scotland - Enjoy

It's gorgeous, lovely way to start the day.

Although some big guns are done...Rory posts 64, Phil - 68, J. Walker - 71, Poulter - 73, Jimenez - 74

There's still some fun groups to watch. Right now Westwood, Rose, and Gallacher are paired together.

Also Rickie Fowler, Victor D, and Bjorn.

This is great confidence for Rory. He's playing great golf and next week is as well-suited a British Open as there is for him. It's a shot makers course and one of that long hitters will feast on with the four par-5s. If Rory is on his game next week, he's going to be tough to beat.

Phil hit one 380 today. Also, interesting tidbit, at least to me: noticed Luke D hit an RBZ Stage 2 3W off a tee but had a Mizuno cover on it. Heard this happens but hadn't noticed it til now.

hey LOOK

Rory had a great start and now is having trouble.  Who would have guessed that based on his play this year. :-X

It's early.

Maybe he's thinking of his model friend?

Yeah, McIlroy demonstrating his usual facility for being all over the place. Impossible to have any confidence in him, it's a long time since he strung together four solid rounds. Like the way Casey is playing.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

Man, I hope nobody bet on Rory after one good round yesterday. Funny how people like to jump on a bandwagon after one good round...makes no sense.

Same thing with Paul Casey...dude hasn't even had a top 25 (on the PGA) this year has he? He's had some decent rounds and some great stretches of 4-5 holes, but no real results. Yet, I've seen a few different people saying things like "how about that Paul Casey!" Maybe he is just a likable player?

Fun to watch the Euro guys play this course...looks pretty tuff to me. I don't know much about links golf, but it seems exciting because scoring is so volatile. Anything can happen!

[S][/S]Casey is a likeable guy, but as a betting man I'm not principally interested in his personality. What I like is that after a long period of being compromised by injury, he has started to play well. Leading for two rounds in the Memorial, on the leaderboard for quite a while in the US Open, now doing well in the Scottish. He goves the impression that one day soon he'll put three or four rounds together. McIlroy gives no such impression.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

Rory gave every single shot back. Even par on the tourney. Just ridiculous. Freaky Fridays indeed.

Plus Casey will be about ten times Rory's price with firms next week likely to be offering e/w terms on 6 places

Already backed him at 80-1 on Betfair. Currently 60-1.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
