I love what the R&A is doing with the grandstands around 18 :

The R&A has a simple way to stop players from 'grandstopping', which you can see on the 18th green at Royal Portrush.

 

Looks like my front lawn.  Thinking I need to get out the mower.

Is there a reason Tiger is not better prepared for The Open?

I think he just doesn’t want to put extra reps on his body. The back is a lot more vulnerable than people think with him and I think he doesn’t want to push it or cause more damage. I’m sure it was hell from 2013-2017 and he doesn’t want to go through that again. I feel if it fails again, he will hang it up and not go through all this surgical process again. We’re on borrowed time with him. Let’s just enjoy it when he plays.

The last group will tee off after 4pm? Are they going to play without lights?

No problem here in the UK at this time of year. Way more hours of daylight than you'll have in the States.

Love it!

Yes, his back is probably not in great shape. He'll be coming in with a possibly dodgy body, he'll be very stiff in the cold and windy weather, and he'll not be tournament sharp. He'll do well to make the cut, which at least will mean after two days the tv will stop obsessing about him.

Watching some of the practice round today, guys are having problems in the wind. They said if they were scoring, there’d be scores in the 80s. The 16th hole looks as tough a par 3 as I’ve ever seen.

Thursday looks like your typical "British Open weather" day. Calling for lots of rain and wind gusts in the 20-25mph range. Looks like the whole week there will be at least a 10mph wind each day. That should keep this from being a birdie fest like we've seen really since the PGA Championship.

Looking better for challenging weather.

Also looks like the morning guys are going to get hit hardest tomorrow. Wind is forecast to let up in the afternoon. That’s good for Tiger, Rose, and Koepka if that forecast pans out.

Is that why John Daly didn't get to use a cart?

Maybe a good excuse. But honestly I just don’t want to see John Daly cruising around on a golf cart with zero chance of contending. I think The Open has tradition that just isn’t worth s*** staining with that sight. Harsh maybe, but just how I see it.

I’m going to pick Rose for the win. He is a machine with the driver, plus his iron play is really good.

It wasn’t good at Pebble lol.

Be careful about those spoiler reports for people on the West coast.

If you are worried about spoilers you need to avoid message boards, twitter, news sites.....yeah just the internet in general

but hey Rory isn't in last place - that's now Duval, but I wasn't watching, how in the heck did he do that?

Players play, tough players win!

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
