The Irish Open starts tomorrow at Lahinch, one of my favorite golf courses. Lahinch is a quirky track that dates back to the 19th century. It is not long, so I wonder what the best players in the world will score there.

I've got the DVR set to record the first round tonight/tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it.

Reason alone why I love GolfChannel, EuropeanPGA and the beautiful countryside scenes from these tourneys.  not to mention the great waking up tv.

Best players in the world are not playing. A quick look makes it only 3 out of the top 20 owgr.

The course looks great. Maybe this tournament will provide better entertainment than of late. I’m pretty bored with the birdie fest run of tournaments we’ve been seeing. And now at the 3M one of the most boring players is -8 for the first round? Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Sounds a lot like the scoring for the US Open.

Hopefully we get wind at the Open. Need a challenge.

Totally agree. I hope mother nature just unleashes pure hell on ‘em..lol. I guess some like the birdie fest tournaments. I’ve never been a fan. I much prefer watching the best in the world be extremely challenged.

A nice golf trip in southwest Ireland would be a trip to courses like Tralee, Ballybunion, Dooks, Waterville and Old Head. Lahinch is a little north of that and a bit out of the way, but would be worth the effort. We made a day out of it, playing Lahinch in the morning and going to see the Cliffs of Moher in the afternoon, just up the road. Spectacular. We stayed in Ennis that night, full of pubs where they play traditional Irish music well into the night. 

Lahinch is where we found out how big surfing is in Ireland. You will see a lot of people surfing at Portrush as well in a couple of weeks.

No wind on the west coast of Ireland means low scores at Lahinch. Robert Rock with a 60 but the leaders are stuck in neutral.

Every now and then a professional hits a shot that I am perfectly capable of hitting on my own.  Rafa Cabrera-Bello hit an 8-iron short of a bunker and then, trying to pitch over it, duffed it into the bunker. :-(  We've all been there. 

Love watching Robert Rock.  I've seen a few of his videos, some through evolvr lessons, so it's neat to see him playing.

    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
