PLAY HAS RESUMED! That would suck to have your ball blown into a pot bunker lol.

Way to get lost Sean O'Hair.

American: "Donald, who is the man that we've lost that's now found?"

*silence* Brit: "Oh, c'mon Donald, tell us." Donald: (reluctantly) "Sean...Sean O'Hair." Brit to American: "He would be one of yours, wouldn't he?" lol...

How the hell would they even fit Lodewicus Theodorus Oosthuizen on the board in the clubhouse?

Rhetorical question, mate. I just like writing down that epic moniker.

It was funnier in my head than it apparently is on a PC screen. I agree it is quite a name. 11 syllables!

It's so stupid that it's a penalty that if you address the ball and it moves slightly because of the wind it's a penalty...it's so dumb. As if it isn't hard enough playing in the damn wind!

Pretty harsh rule alright.I also find it a little unfair that a guy like Oosthuizen has a big lead basically only because he was lucky with his tee times.But that's Golf I suppose.

Yeah, fun to play in when you're not trying to win an Open This is hard viewing at the moment, they're all over the place.

It's funny...I was just sitting here watching and thinking how boring The Open can be. If the wind doesn't blow, the course is too easy. If the wind blows, it's too hokey or gimmicky. Six groups backed up on one hole because no one can decide which club to hit! I know, I know...links style golf; birthplace of the game; no wind, no rain, no golf; yada, yada. But I'd rather watch a match with more reasonable weather conditions. I don't watch pro golf to see guys hit shots like I do. I watch to see them hit shots unlike I can. Just my opinion.

Whoever came up with the saying, "A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work", is a moron.

I'm starting to agree with you, watching this.At least Turnberry last year was playable.I like Links golf in general, and when it's reasonable, but this is ridiculous at the moment.Rory's bogeying every hole at the moment.

I played once in wind and rain and around 11 degrees celsius.

It felt like 4 degrees, my eyes were watering because of the wind, I couldn't concentrate at all. Hard to judge the wind's power as it was gusty and my grips were slippery.

Fun though, in a way

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
