does the gallery seem a bit ''unexcitable'' to anyone else? i'd much rather hear obnoxious taunting than seagulls fishing. but then again, i'm not out playing.

It's like 60 degrees, sputtering rain perhaps, and windy. Plus, they don't mic the crowds like they do in the U.S. quite as much and the crowds are, as I understand it, generally more respectful and better behaved.

The crowd seems fine.

I feel like I'm probably jinxing it, but I havent heard a single "GET IN THA HOOLLLLEE" yet. I think that alone shows that they're more respectful and behaved. Of course now that I said that, I'm sure I'll hear someone scream it within the next 5 minutes...

Tiger showing his immature side. Not going to help. Big contrast to Watson, who is calm regardless.

I heard a "VIVA ESPANIA!!!" just now. Better than "GET IN THE HOLE!!" I guess ;)

hmmm.... Tiger at + 5 now

+7, five holes to go. Now officially in trouble. I think +4 should do it.

What an amazing recovery by Watson after 5 bogeys in the first 7 holes, likely will be tied for the lead going into the weekend. IF he putts like this on Sunday, watch out.

Kind of a sidenote here, but does anyone else think the coverage of this Open sucks? I think part of it is the course, it seems none of the holes have any identifiable character. It's like watching someone play the same hole over and over and over. On top of that, it's 2009 and we can't get an HD feed for the Open?!? And the cameramen on a course like this are in the worst places. Almost half the shots these guys hit, the change to another camerman for the landing and he never even finds the ball? So a guy swings and I end up looking at the green and have no clue where the ball went.

As a disclaimer, I don't dislike links golf at all. But you watch something like the Masters, it seems to me the course has a ton more character, and I can envision where the player is and what they are facing.

I miss the ProTracer. Or maybe they need a blimp. Where is the super slo-mo cam? (ranting now)

Yes the coverage sucks. I kind of like the course, but the camera work has been terrible. It just kind of feels... Disconnected.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings but one or two are reasonable. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swings at all and have tendency to freeze over the ball after address. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

      As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
