I was loving watch Villegas play this week - up to his demise.

But did anyone see him and Greg Norman on the 10th tee having a little banter - Rocco was close at hand too. The BBC commentators were observing Camillo's yoga-like pose and wondered if Greg would try a similar position on the bench at 53. "Crouching Camillo, Hidden Dragon."

So when eventually Freddy Jacobson and Stephen Ames finished the 10th (and 3/4 other groups were waiting on them), Camillo hops up and says to Norman (tapping him on the knee), "hang in there."

Was lovely to see professional golfer from different generations of the game all competing at the British Open and having a bit of fun.

Yes I saw it and yes I agree, it was a very very nice moment. Trust the good old BBC to show it to us, much nicer to watch Camillo and Greg having a little chat than to see more useless tips or stocking filler crap.

One thing to keep in mind, they are the best golfers in the world but they are human just like you and I.

I seen it too and found it fun to watch as well, I placed an outside bet on Camillo at 100-1 at the start of the tournament due to a few good finishes in the US.

I read a big interview in a local scottish paper today with him and really liked the way he came across, talking about how it was a difficult day with the wind and sometimes you had no idea where the ball was going but you just get on with it and try to enjoy it.

Hardlines he didn't have a great day today but he plays some wonderful golf from the 4 days I seen of him.

Can't stand Camillo. The way he dresses w/ his too tight clothes and the way he "reads" putts. (Like, you need to be sprawled out to get a good read on a putt).

Does he think the men watching him want to see this display? Maybe men that prefer other men, I guess, but seriously.

I have no time for that.

Don't hate him just because you can't do it (probably).

Getting down low to the putting surface can improve your read, actually. And wheather it does or doesn't is irrelivant. He believes it helps his game so it does.

A nice moment for sure. Norman and Villegas actually played together three weeks ago at the Canadian Skins Game at Predator Ridge (along with Monty, Mike Weir and Fred Couples). Definetely a diverse group internationally as well as generationally. They seemed to enjoy each other's company although Camillo cleaned up big time.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
