Except it is actually called "The Open Championship" and has been since it started long before the US Open or Canadian Open started. Someone should start a tournament called "The British Open". That would make for some comedy.

What do you call it when it's played in Ireland?

We're not doing this all again, guys.

  • The U.S. Open says "United States Open Championship" on it.
  • Several prominent people in golf, including those with the R&A, have called it the "British Open."
  • It nearly died off from lack of interest before Arnold Palmer helped to revive it.

Etc.

This has been debated ad nauseam. No need for it here.

I’m hoping for wind and rain the next few days. Makes it more interesting.

Lowry has started nicely again. Conditions currently a fair bit easier than yesterday.

If you ever read any golf history it has always been called the British Open in the US by luminaries from Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones to Jack Nicklaus.  When he listed the elements of Bobby Jones "Impregnable Quadrilateral" Grantland Rice, one of the greatest golf writers of all time called it the British Open.  Even Bernard Darwin, the great British golf writer participated as a radio commentator where it was labeled the British Open.  To insist on dropping the 'British' appellation is a modern day affectation and mere pedantry.

Fascinating to see them struggles. With no wind royal troon is so easy top ten should be - 30 after 4 rounds 🙂

I like William Horschel.

 

That said, if I were out there in just a golf shirt, I would probably die.

Xander is in control. Great pitch over the bunker on 16.

Well not bad. Wish the weather would’ve been like yesterday afternoon. But Xander was pretty solid. Good win.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
