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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
