Irish Open on the European Tour this weekend.  Venue Fota island, near Cork. Probably bring your umbrella.  All of Europe, many from Asia, but few USA guys in the field.   Everyone will be watching John Daly, a great lifter of Guinness.

Good field, top 3 players in the top 10 not otherwise exempt get into the Open. Maybe Jose Maria or John Daly can earn a spot lol :)

Ever since I found out my great grandpa traveled from his home of County Cork to a new life in Minnesota, I've been obsessed with all things Ireland. The Irish Open heads to the gorgeous Fota Island Resort in Cork this weekend.

There's a great Irish field that includes Rory, G-Mac, Paddy, and Lowry...along with some other fun notables including Victor, Gallacher, John Daly, Paul Casey, and Darren Clarke.

This will also be Britain's young star in the making, Matthew Fitzpatrick's, first professional debut.

Matthew was the low amateur at the US Open.

Fota Island is absolutely gorgeous (though it is a parkland course)

Should be a great tournament.

slightly off-topic: If you're interested in Ireland's courses at all, read the book "A course called Ireland." Hilariously awesome.

I think I like the new qualifying a bit more. A few of them have already been played, but not many relevant names except maybe Cheng Tsung Pan & John Senden

No one liked my Irish Open thread? :~(

Well as long as people are talking about it.

It's been fun watching Paddy outplay Rory this morning.

Golf channel should be showing quite a bit of G-Mac's back nine starting here in 5 minutes.

Edit: what happened to John Daly? I could have sworn I saw him in the line up for the Irish Open...now I see he has a tee time at the Travelers.

Good news. I'm taping this tournament and the women's US Open this week. Not bothering with the Traveler's if Bubba is the headliner. And I'm from CT

G-Mac goes birdie-birdie and then hits what I think was a rather embarrassing chunk off the tee. He double facepalmed himself.

Everyones Favorite Finnish Golfer with the lead, several notable names trying to secure a British Open spot. Robert Karlsson, BadMolinari, SecondBestPonytail Marcel Siem, JMO, and Everyones Favorite Indian Golfer Jeev Milkha Singh(Unless you prefer Shiv Kapur of course)

FIGURES! I decide not to wake up and watch this morning and my man G-Mac shoots a 66 and is now tied for the lead at -8.

Oh well, McIlroy and Paddy are on later.

Padraig and Rory are starting on the back 9 right now on the golf channel. Paddy played 3 under on the front 9, five under overall. Rory needs something special if he wants to make the cut. Currently +4 in the tournament.

After 2 rounds Illonen at minus 10 on top.  Minus 8 includes Gmac, Rock and Wattel.  Others follow. Rory misses cut, heads north to mum.  2 USA guys make cut but won't earn much.

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
