It’s a toss up as to what my favourite golf tournament is but as I am yet to get tickets for the Masters, well for now it’s the Open.

The weather forecast is so so, but not biblical. Anyone who played well at the Scottish Open will be looking forward to Thursday. The bookies favourites are Mcilroy, Scheffler, Koepka, Smith. 
I’ll be hoping that it’s an 8 way dog fight on the back nine with Rory or Rickie winning. 
Can’t wait

I thought I’d put up a quick travel log of our trip to the open.  Well we woke up  this morning to clear blue skies and warm sunshine. Murphy’s law I suppose after the massively wet day we spent

And we have an early candidate for the most noted drop of the championship.  It appears a bird confused Viktor Hovland for Ian Poulter.  I don't know how you could make that confusion, Ian isn't even

I'll have to keep that shot in mind for the future   Also is it my imagination or is "Tour" misspelled in both the name and address?

I really look forward to seeing this tournament because I can watch early on a nice summer day and go to the beach in the afternoon. It is also semi bizarre to see them all wrapped up in sweaters when it’s 90F out here.

Having experienced all of the majors including a Ryder Cup I have to say The British Open is my favorite to attend. One, its golf the way its meant to be played. It's in the UK so you don't need to pack a toothbrush or a comb. The spectators don't look as if they just spent 500 bucks on clothes at the golf shop. ( maybe changing a bit ) You can chew your food with your mouth open and no one looks at you. Wind, rain, the sea. What's not to love? This best part about this one is the fact that Poulter nor Sergio will be there. They might be working concessions I'm not sure, they don't have anything else to do this week. I don't know who will win, but I know who won't, Tommy Fleetwood, he looks like the guy that goes door to door trying to sell you a roof after a hurricane comes through. Yobbo. I will be pulling for Paddy of course, Rory and Tiger. Tiger isn't playing of course since he's Tiger you never know. Why is Stewart Cink or John Daly even going to embarrass themselves, not to mention Patrick Reed, stay home.  Joost Luiten is my sleeper.

I believe they said they wanted to spend more time with their families.

The "spend more time with families" excuse was common when former PGA/DP World Tour players defected to the other one.

I wondered if the title would be changed, it will always be THE Open to me. Although Faldo reckons it might just be called The soon….

Most of us live in the U.S.

And our Open has been more important for much longer.

The British wasn’t particularly important for decades until about 1960.

Rumor mill has it that the powers that be did that on purpose to hopefully prevent Brooks from winning. Wouldn't it be funny if Cantlay won and Brooks missed the cut? Nightmare scenario, Patrick Reed wins.

I think it was the NLU crew a few years ago that gave this event a different suggested name, but it went out of style.

Bobby Jones called it the British Open.  Walter Hagen called it the British Open.  Hogan/Snead/Nelson called it the British Open.  Palmer and Nicklaus called it the British Open.  And I wouldn't care a bit if Brits called The Masters the US Masters.

Well your Open may be more important to you lot on the far side of the pond, but our Open has always been more important on this side. And for many decades before your imitation Open came along.  
 

i hope we can agree that they are both exciting golf tournaments

The new 17th reminds me of the 10th at Penrith. Not much to worry about from the front tee on a calm day but from the back tee into the teeth of a gale is very nervy. Don’t go long!

      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.
