Correct Erik. It's soft but it's there and reveals a relationship with the more common "Paddy", which is of course different (from Patrick).

dat's da t'ing with the Irish accent, something to do with the soft rain that falls so much of the time ........

Nice to know literally anything can be debated here.

Padraig is the anglicised version of 'Pauric', which was the original Irish name.As such, 90% of people with the name 'Padraig' pronounce it 'Paw-rig'.

I have a feeling Padraig pronounced it that way before he started playing in the states and never bothered correcting people in interviews.Or something like that..


Edit : I just read a quote from after he won the Open saying that his mother always called him 'Pad-rig' so he kept using it.

He would have to be awkward.. I'll have to change my sig now

It was on playing lessons. Stephanie Sparks asked him the question, and he said his mother called him "Paw-dreg."


Phew! Just got my breath back from the Accenture final round. It got really exciting when Casey started coming back and they both dodged a few bullets. Poults played really well all week and his play today was as close to nerveless as you're likely to see - which is, not totally nerve-free...
Feel sorry for Casey though - he played great pretty much all week (except for yesterday during the rain) and was definitely the pick of the field for the first four rounds - all those 5&4s were exceptional.
Both of them looked like champions, imho. Hope they go on to win more this year - and it would be great to see Casey get his revenge by winning a Major!

Yeah, but Poulter's monkey on the back was not winning in America, Casey has. In so many ways, this was just as good for Casey as it was for Poulter. Casey can now back up his #3 world ranking and say it wasn't just a fluke, Poulter can now back up his resume with a U.S. PGA Tour win.

Poulter still hasn't won a stroke-play event in the U.S.

He has yet to win an event while wearing purple, as well, but I expect all these things will come to pass!

Really enjoyed the final, great to see to English guys in the final and despite it not being a stroke play event Poulter has still got that win in America, in one of the bigger events as well!.

On another note, the official top 10 world rankings looks pretty good for England and Europe with 3 English in the top ten, two Irish and a German.

I would almost declare this to be harder to win. One bad round and you're out. In a stroke play event, you can come back and shoot a low score, there's not nearly as much pressure. In this event, it's lights out to those who lose. Just look at the guys who've won this thing.


Got to hand it to Poulter,he looked solid the whole way through the tournament.Played very well and kept applying the pressure.

LOL.

Not for me to say, as I'm not a True Brit - only one by upbringing/education. I'm really a Yank so I shouldn't respond, and I'm curious as to what the TB's say ...

Personally I do like the guy from the rag trade in Stevenage more and more. At least we have a good explanation for his sartorial inclinations. He's expressive and he's got an amazing iron/short game. What's not to like ........ ?

He's got amazing game. I expect him to a major this year.

He's got a great website.

    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
