My wife and I are spending a delightful week in Scotland playing and watching golf. For anyone who's interested we've played Blairgowrie Rosemount on Monday and Monifieth Links Medal on Tuesday...both superb, the latter especially so...and Wednesday practise, yesterday and today at the Ricoh Ladies Open at St. Andrews Old, all,of which have been great. So three great days at St. Andrews when as we were leaving today we watched la Inksters antics on the 16th. Her caddie had given her the wrong club/ yardage/ line and she dumped her drive in a bunker, signal multiple slamming of club into ground, a bollacking for the caddie, a load of chuntering all the way up the fairway and a loud audible ***k when she reached the bunker and saw the only escape route was sideways. An average wedge resulted in a 10 yard throw of the club at the bag and another mouthful at the caddie. Poor behavior by a 5 year old let alone a 50+ professional, and who is in charge out there the caddie or the player...surely it's time the various tours dictated that caddies get out of the way, stop reading greens, lining up players and clubbing, perhaps then we'll get back to 4 hour rounds rather than the 5 30 we've endured this week.

Unfortunate you had to see that.  She comes across as very professional on TV.

Why would anyone watch Inkster when there is soooo much more from which to choose?

Or did she just show up at the hole you were watching?

The later, we were walking back down the course to the car park when she just happened along. Over the 3 days I think we saw everyone and certainly enjoyed some excellent golf and St Andrews is such a fanatic place to wander around on a sunny day!

Sometimes pros behave badly, especially when things arent going their way.  You need to remember that despite all the talent, they are still only human and lose their cool sometimes.

That's too bad. Sure people lose their cools but they know they're being watched so some either just don't care or just want the attention.

People playing golf for fun get mad when they make poor shots, why should a pro be any different.

I agree no one should throw a temper tantrum, especially not a pro, but it's not always easy to control your emotions, especially if big money is involved.

Agree....Juli is a has been.......a has been with a g8 career though.

I've never seen Juli be unprofessional....but she's not overly cheery either.

Pros have to be accountable for their actions.....take info from the caddie or if you disagree.....make your own decision.

Her life....but if I was in her shoes....I'd be travelling the world sightseeing...I assume she's financially stable.

    • I saw this video yesterday, couldn't figure out what he meant, then saw this thread and thought "oh maybe someone knows what he was talking about" and you guys are in the same place as me.  I *think* what he's suggesting is that you play a game such that going low is expected. He said there are different variations of it. I think his variation is you get three goes at a shot. You hit your first shot and it's good enough, then you just take it. If it's not good enough then you can abandon that shot and play another. If you still don't like it, you can hit it a third time, but then you're stuck with it. He's good enough that three goes at a shot ought to give him one that's good enough to move on. He did mention his parameters for what counts as "good enough", although I do note that he should have hit a third go on that pitch from the hazard based on that. He holed the putt though so it worked out in the end. I think if you're not as good as he is (which let's face it is everyone here and virtually everyone on the planet), then you'd adjust those rules to make it such that you might manage to make 5 birdies in a row. So maybe you play a two ball scramble with yourself and if you don't like either one then you can abandon those and hit a third or you play a three ball scramble or whatever it is that you need to make your standard work.  At its base though, it's just like going out and playing from the front tees or playing a scramble with yourself. The goal is to gain comfort with making lots of birdies and going way under par, so that when you find yourself in that situation in a real game, you don't panic. It's an interesting variation and if I ever got to play "for fun" at my home course, then I'd definitely try it.

    • That sounds good. And, yeah, the default camera app tries to take in as much light as possible.
