I've only seen a little but have enjoyed watching several of the bunker shots.  Sideways, backwards, One foot up near your chest...I just find watching those shots entertaining.

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?

If the cut comes at +12 Daly is in. Patrick Reed looked stupid in his post round interview. Harman should enjoy the day. Not too many times a mid-level player has back to back stellar rounds. Travis Smyth hole in one, proceeds to miss the cut. No one is lighting up the leader board, imagine if 10 under holds? Fleetwood just dropped to -4, that's what I like to see. All in all, not that exciting of an Open IMO. Hopefully the weather over the weekend will add some drama. About a 7ish on the boring meter, need rain and wind. There is always the Barracuda Championship, or Women's World Cup.

What’s wrong with Tommy? He’s a good guy

The leaderboard isn’t all too exciting, but as always enjoying the course in The Open. A bit more wind can’t hurt the entertainment value.

I also like that they broadcast the entire day.

He's a yobbo looking dude. Probably has a Ford Focus RS and a picture of Ian Brown still hanging in his bedroom. As I said elsewhere, he looks like the guy that goes door to door in the neighborhood trying to sell you a new roof right after a hurricane comes through.

a Ford Focus RS?  I would have guess a Cadillac Fleetwood?  And of course,a wagon since he has to carry his clubs, etc.

I don’t really get the draw with Daly anymore. The whole, ‘ beer, cigarettes and once long hitting,’ schtick is old. I’m sure he’s a character but damn, nobody laughs at Larry the Cable Guy anymore do they?

He’s a redneck parody. If he was an Aussie they would call him a “Bogan”.  When he won the PGA, my dad had just got Sky Tv, and I remember watching it after coming home from the pub. 9th alternate!!!! He holed a shitload of putts as well as bombing it. I was an instant fan then, but he is just a bit of a muppet really.

Falls in there with Murray's routine at Pebble.

Harman is a solid player and he did well at St Andrews last year. He wouldn’t, by a long shot, be the worst player to win a major. However he’s only half way.

It’s a toss up as to what my favourite golf tournament is

I really look forward to seeing this tournament

Trying to not be completely out of the loop during a busy work week,  I had the audio from The Open iPhone app playing today. One of the commentators mentioned that it’s a championship, not a tournament.

I know it’s in the name of the event, but does one exclude the other or is one a subset of the other? Do I need to include this in the list of cultural/social verbal blunders to avoid?

I looked over various definitions of each thinking I would find a clear difference.  In the end I agree with @Beastie

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
