I was hoping Rory would get it done today but Cam Smith went out and got it.

Where’s the jxdama comment on the course being too easy/not a proper test?

I just played there a few weeks ago; It was cool playing with the stands and camera towers up. I birdied 18 in front of the crowd coming in. Pretty sure they’ll be sending me a last minute invitation

No watering on the fairways. And no desire to pay for it either.Here is Banchory GC in 2017 ( Normal summer conditions), an inland course but sandy soil. And here it is the next year(drough

We really have been spoiled in 2022 with four great final rounds in major championships. 

The Masters was kind of meh.

Didn't know anything about Cam Smith before this week but he really does seem like a good guy; I find him very likeable.  I'm a fan.

That’s because you two share the same barber. 😜

If you had told me at the beginning of the that day Rory would go bogey free and Hovland would be over par, I would have said Rory won by 5-6. Kudos to Cam Smith. But what a missed opportunity for Rory.

Seriously. Is it the best chance he's had in the last… eight years? Was there a better one I'm forgetting?

Closest I think of was the 2018 Masters, in the last group but 3 behind Reed. He got it to within 1 after 2 but then immediately fell back. There’s been a lot of top 10s for him, but nothing that close.

This was probably the closest shave he's had, but man has he been close quite a bit these last eight years. So tough to win one of these things.

Well I had a great day out yesterday at St Andrew’s.  The course was incredibly hard under foot,  even after the mornings rain.  
We spent time on 3,4,15,16,17 and walked out to the 11th green to watch the leaders come through. 
Watched the last hour back in the beer garden, it’s hard to see enough on the course to figure out what’s going on.
Great atmosphere and I spoke to a lot of Americans who had combined a golf holiday with the week. One group were on a golf cruise around Scotland - I did something similar around the Caribbean 20 years ago when I worked on the cruise ships. They were loving it.

This is a fantastic direction for the game to be trending. After Shane Lowry holed out twice in a row, they showed a replay of some middle of the road tour pro from the 90s doing something similar and I was struck by how old and hilariously unathletic most of the guys looked back then, and that the game is trending in the right direction

I was hoping for Rory to catch him. I honestly wanted to see a playoff, but Rory just couldn't get anything to drop from distance and he wasn't hitting the ball close enough to get a better look. 

Great win by Smith.

DING! 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Exciting Open right to the end. For some reason, I couldn't get the DVR broadcast from my local NBC station. But it did record on NBC Universo, so I watched that. Same video feed, only with Spanish speaking announcers. I didn't miss the English commentary one bit, and heard a lot of "fabuloso" and "quattro birdies" in the background. In short, I could figure out the drama without the need for commentary. Just like "being there".

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.

      When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      By saevel25 ·

      I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though.
