But, I think everybody is too quick to write off Tiger. I don't think he'll come out and dominate, but I'd watch out for him come Sunday.

yeah i think he's got a chance too

I said that about Turnberry, I don't know if he will have in him. I kept thinking he has been playing possum but I just don't know anymore. I don't know that I am a fan of him but I loved it when his performance would force errors on his competitors.

I understand that. I just want to be the guy that said, "Tiger can win this one" when he actually does. I'm like you in that I've never considered myself a Tiger fan, but its just so much fun to watch when he's doing well. I will remember the 2008 U.S. Open forever because of him. I was actually rooting for Mediate pretty hard. Anyway, I would like to think he's still got it and there is a little part of me that believes that, but after going 18 over...

After looking at some of these pictures I'm concerned that it will be difficult to see a lot of the action. Any body who has been there this week, can you comment on this?

Great photos. The course looks amazing - I can't wait to watch the players tackle it.

As far as Tiger goes - I will say this:
Tiger will not win again until he gets his head right. That could be this week . . or any week . . .but he will not win anything until he does. My guess is that it will not be this week.

In other words, Geoff Ogilvy.

That's possible too. There are a couple decent players from that country that just hosted the World Cup.

It sure sounds like English - as much as Australian does, that's sure.

Els, Goosen, and Oosthuizen are obviously Dutch/Boer names; it can be assumed that Afrikaans was spoken in their households growing up, even though all of them were probably fluent in English from a very early age. Vijay Singh has the same story: English is Fiji's official language, but the Indo-Fijian community speaks Hindi.

I guess Trevor Immelman would qualify under your original criteria (as "Trevor" is undoubtedly English), but he's not winning this week.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I actually think this course is a great spectator venue ... lots of hills and large mounds that let you view multiple holes at one time.

Honestly? They both get off track with the putter mid tourney lately. I think it will continue to be the limiting factor for them

Not to mention the huge and numerous bunkers for the kids to occupy themselves building sandcastles in.

      "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.
