I always enjoy The Open. St. Andrews usually is my favorite venue too. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

The weather forecast is just fair for now. I really wish it would get a bit nasty. I’m curious about what Spieth said regarding it being a ‘wedge contest.’ I’m hoping we don’t  see a birdie festival there.

I’m going on the Sunday so no rain then please😀. 3rd time at the open in St Andrew’s. Its not the best course for viewing, the fairways are all higher than the viewing spots, but loads of good grandstand spots with double greens and tees.St Andrew’s feel different though,  If you love golf( like me) it’s a bit like going to church.

Saw some coverage of Woods practicing and his gait looks better. Almost normal.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Okay, so it is set to end (Pacific) around noon on Saturday and 11am on Sunday.   I can remember waking up early one year to watch Tom Watson finish only to see him lose in a playoff, and somehow I never remember the time otherwise.  Thanks for the heads-up!

2009, I think. One of my favorite instances of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Nothing beats waking up early and getting to watch a few hours of golf before the work day, especially when it's the Old Course.

Hopefully we get some conditions and some good drama on Sunday. 

Feels like a Justin Thomas kind of week to me, although he has thrown up a few duds including last week. Feel like his trajectory control and creativity should play well here.

I have conflicting thoughts on wind. On one hand it makes for some entertainment and the best golfers in the world struggling with conditions they don’t normally face. On the other, it can make the tournament unfair and affect the outcome too much.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Will Zalatoris has a chance to join some illustrious company at British Open. It's just not for the reason he would like. Zalatoris is one runner-up finish from...

Heck yeah, Will!  I think that was the game that got me interested in playing golf in the first place.

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
