I think we fall into the trap of thinking because the leaders aren’t major winners, that the leaders are only leading because the great players are playing poorly. But I don’t see that. Harmon is playing like he was playing different course today. Fleetwood really pushed to save par on a bunch of holes. Kudos to both of them. I hope both of them hold their own the next couple of days.

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?

Leaderboard is gearing up for Sunday. Even if Harman has a similar lead tomorrow, it’s far from over.

The scoring average is down today and so far he’s moving in the wrong direction.

Are you guys watching some golf championship in Liverpool? All I’m getting is a Beatles tribute interrupted by a few golf shots.

The R&A should be ashamed for letting the course get so easy! They should turn up the wind machines, turn off the rain and grow the rough around the greens to 6” (15cm) overnight to make this a tougher tournament.😜

And what’s up with those amateur pot bunkers? Minimum walls of 8ft otherwise it’s not even a hazard!

I could watch 50 hours of golf this week with zero ads. Maybe one or two the first and last minute of the broadcast. No Beatles here. 😀

Along with your 50 hours of golf in Norway each year. 😃

I have often said that the golden age of major championship golf (aka, the years when I was getting into golf, naturally), the Open Championship's strategy of giving some of the gardeners a few weeks off from maintaining the second cut was the best. ;-) 

It is nice to see three people who I wanted to see win last year's British in the top 11 of the leaderboard this year. 

Oooh, and it was nice to see a spectator wearing a New Orleans Saints hat.  And I don't even like the Saints, I just love seeing NFL apparel overseas.

      Board Games

      By JasonMadderson ·

      When I'm winding down and need to clear my head, spider solitaire online is my go-to—it's surprisingly soothing and helps me focus. If you're up for exploring more games, Gloomhaven offers an epic adventure with its campaign-style gameplay and deep tactical choices. Azul is perfect for its beautiful design and engaging tile-drafting mechanics. It's great to see board games evolving with such diverse themes and mechanics.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By Hardspoon ·

      I voted "Decent Weather Golfer". I was going to describe my general rules...but then @saevel25 did it for me so I'll just copy his, with one addition: Temp: Above 45 degrees (pending wind at the low end).  Below 90 degrees. Weather: On and off rain, I am ok. I may not go out by myself, but I am not skipping a tee time if the weather is just meh. T-storms, or torrential downpour, then it will be a game time decision. Snow is out. I will never play golf when it is that cold out.

      By saevel25 ·

      Ok, I didn't read the question at all, lol. So, to answer this thread correctly.  Temp: Above 45 degrees (pending wind at the low end). Weather: On and off rain, I am ok. I may not go out by myself, but I am not skipping a tee time if the weather is just meh. T-storms, or torrential downpour, then it will be a game time decision. Snow is out. I will never play golf when it is that cold out.  The closest one might be "All Weather" then ;).

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By Zeph ·

      All weather, but very rarely if it’s pouring. Some rain is fine. Wind is a more no-go than rain. Especially wind and rain. I’d rather play in cool light drizzle than 80° F+ and sunny. My body is not designed for hot weather. My perfect conditions are 60-70° F and cloud cover. If it’s a bit nippy I can wear more clothes. I can only remove so much clothes if it’s 75+ and still get too hot. Warm and cloudy can work too.
