Is anyone out of position?

Right, so then no, they could have the same exact policy and nobody would be punished.

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

As long as the groups are in position and delays are caused by driveable holes and general course design, there is nothing to penalize.

Weather predictions looks like they’ll get fair conditions. Maybe some rain tomorrow, but the wind won’t be much more than today. It’s enough to make a difference, but it won’t blow their socks off (JT would have to put some on first).

I played this morning, and one guy said that if our course looked like th OC, our superintendent would get fired. I really like the natural look of the links courses, and wish there was a bit more brown on American courses.

I do, too, as long as that browning isn't dirt.  At a lot of courses I play, brown turf is likely dirt or bare spots, not what you're seeing at St. Andrew's.

Our caddies on the OC said they want them brown there unlike our American fairways.  I though that was interesting

AGREE - Seems pretty apparent, but there a still the slow play grumblers that won't care.  Once the cut happens, they could space the start times more to align the pace since there isnt really a need to load the course up after that.

 

Tiger.....he's not really limping more than his regular gait.  He looks so much better.  Too bad he's just not playing well this weekend.  I'm still rooting for Rory - but one day doesn't make a tournament.

watching from work.  glad it's streaming.

Got a tee time today at 12:45 eastern time but I'm glad I'm able to watch at least Tiger finish his round even though it's painful to see how he's played yesterday and today.

I'm glad I remembered to turn on the TV this morning when I woke up so I could see Tiger finish.  I wish the same would be true for Sunday.

Rahm in with a birdie on the last... and a round with only one five on the scorecard (and nothing higher).

He did look better. Was also able to crouch rather than bend forward like an old person when looking at putts. Quite far from having a chance at winning though.

With a good amount of courses in Ohio, things start to get brown right now. We are in a drought condition in NE Ohio. Things are getting firm and grass is getting browner.

Rory and DJ in the same group tomorrow would be something. I wonder how much friendly chatter there would be.

They are both old cats of the game and they've got their hands full to worry about all that. Not that they were too chummy prior to LIV anyway.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
