Given the amount of love for the man from the US contingent here, I thought y'all would enjoy this new Oakley ad.

I'm not buying into it, it's too herky jerky. I thought my router was acting up...... again.

Is the course as crappy as it looked in the video? I know that they made it drab looking to emphasize the point, and it's probably the camera, but is it supposed to be a nice course?

No the first part of the video isn't Woburn haha!!! The second part with Poults in it is Woburn. Yes, it's considered the one of the best courses in Southern England.

And the steering wheel was on the wrong side of the car! :)

Absolutely, but I just thought it was funny that they would put those together like that for something that would go on TV...some ninny will chime in.

Oh, I gotcha. I thought you were the proverbial Ninny! The same ninnies that say you can't smoke in Central Park.

What country do you live in? Of course you can have one beer and then drive. And so can Poulter.

  xxsoultonesxx said:

I would think that having a beer after a game of golf and then driving home is normal thing to do at most golf clubs. There is no implication of irresponsibility here.

In fact, in my country, it is actively encouraged. One of the things that makes clubs struggle financially is when people just play golf and go home. Members' patronage of the bar facilities is very important. And ,obviously, responsible consumption of alcohol is required by law.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I know, which is why I included that second sentence. But billysandy said that there was a Senior Euro Tour event there, so I was wondering just how crappy it was.

      Grip Issue?!?

      By carpediem4300 ·

      Possibly, deffo trying to weaken my right hand somewhat. Left hand I believe is fine as I'm mostly fingers there with grip under the fat pad. But my lesson tomorrow will hopefully shed some light

      I'm not sure.  What could this do that any of the documentaries on this dude haven't already done? I will say, I remember this unfolding in real life back in the day. My sister and I watched this as it happened. Then we heard about the fact that the studio wasn't going to pay him. But then they finally did pay him.

      Grip Issue?!?

      By saevel25 ·

      Could also be how you align your wrists and rotate your forearms. Not sure you are re-gripping the club. There is nothing noticeable in the videos. I do agree with the grip being very strong in the right hand. Also, maybe too much in the palm of the left hand.

      Would You Rather…?

      By billchao ·

      First one. If it’s not some bs “mistake” like I should have made that 12’ putt for birdie and actually correctable then it’s a learning experience and it means I’m good enough to win. I don’t play the club championships at my county courses because the best I can hope for is the second option and I kind of don’t see the point in that.
