I doubt JS is embarrassed, he's OWGR #1 and Paramor has already been painted a villain for the penalty he called on the kid at the Masters.

 

Not saying he's embarrassed. I'm saying there was a moment of embarrassment when everyone could see him being spoken to and "put on the clock" or whatever it is. 

Paramor doesn't give two shits. He's doing his job.

Play suspended (darkness). Spieth, Stenson and McIlroy are all over par this round, but will have to finish the round tomorrow. Sullivan takes the lead after a -5 today, Luiten played himself inside the top 3 after a -4.

I turned it on when Jordan/Rory/Rickie were teeing off. What caused the delay? I never heard.

Man, Rory and Jordan didn't look good today. Spieth's irons were terrible, Rory's weren't much better. Neither could make a putt.

Fog delayed the game for almost 3 hours. First rounds started at aprox. 10 instead of 7.

Course looks nice, but I don't understand why this has such a better field than the Bob Hope does, seemingly every year (they're regularly opposite one another, I think).  Is it that much better of a purse?  Is it the pro-am?

No, it's because these Middle Eastern tournaments pay some kind of signing fee for those kind of players. Spieth and Fowler for example are getting rich just for showing up there.

Round three finished. Fowler will start the final round as leader at -13, and will be acompied in the final flight by Joost Luiten (who won 4 shots in the last 4 holes, including an eagle at 18) at -11. At -10 a pack of 5 players including McIlroy and Stenson.

Mr. Desmond

That was dramatic towards the end ... Congrats to Rickie.

Andy why does Cara Robinson look like an AMAZON on Morning Drive after the tourney. Or is Gary that short?

Spieth sneaks one in just before the horn blows.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
