Well there has been a British Masters, but everyone knows which event THE Masters is……… 

And yet I’ve seen it referred to as the US Masters.

Which is fine.

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.

Always more important to your side is debatable. The event was very lowly considered for a long time.

there’s another topic for this, as I said already, so let’s not do this every year.

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?

And that is the biggest problem associated with this Open. 

Between sleeping and working, I might get to see a bit of it on Sunday. That, however, will depend on my own golf schedule.

I’ve watched a lot of Scheffler over the last week and a half. Tee to green he is absolutely incredible. It’s no wonder he misses so many 10-15 ft puts - he has about 15 of them every round

It’s funny how I haven’t seen one second of Patrick Reed despite him being -2. Good on that! Seems like too many guys are pin seeking and getting in trouble.

Straka hole out chip on 18! Such a classic linksy play. Early leader for the shot of the day!

The 9 am. update. Missed any and all of the brief coverage of Patrick Reed, no complaints there. Fleetwood should enjoy his spot on the leader board, it wont last. Same goes for Lamprecht, Cink. Early prediction John Daly will finish the day at +5 or have the clubhouse lead. It appears that Sunday is the best chance for unpleasant weather conditions. No marine layer.

Reed Koepka and Scheffler start well at  -1. 

Same dumb schtick since joining.

Anyone watching the Par 3 channel? Live feed of the 17th hole. Just watched this A. Fitzpatrick guy play out the nightmare triple bogey just like advertised.

I think it's harder than 17th a Sawgrass or 12th at Augusta. It's hard enough from the tee box but maybe harder from around the green. Damn.

Wouldn't be surprised if this hole ends being make or break on Sunday.

P.S. just saw this but it is statistically only the 3rd hardest part 3 today.

Ouch....Rahm had to play out "Backwards" from a bunker.  No chance he could do anything but hit back towards the tee box.  A left hander may have been able to advance the ball.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By saevel25 · Posted

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
