I played a course recently with a 240 yard Par 3.

I took a double. I actually over shot the green with my 4 iron. How? Dunno.

Is that number 11 at The Canal? Did you end up on the #12 tee box too?

Not sure how kids treat their skateboards in Italy, but that's just not right.

So you think that wearing a hoodie when playing at the Open Championship is dressing properly? :D

Really? I think that Tom Watson is dressed properly, but maybe it's just because I am Italian! :D

What's that got to do with trashing a skateboard by riding it in a bunker?!?

I thought you were saying it to support the hoodie thing, but maybe I was wrong. Anyway, I said this cause that big bunker is the most similar thing to a skateboarding park, but maybe I was not that clear! Hope you get it now ;)

I get that you don't do a lot of skateboarding.

The wind has really died down in the last couple of hours. The course is probably as easy as it is going to be this weekend; somebody this afternoon has to take advantage and match Bjorn's 65.

Perhaps Ricky Barnes will be the low man of the late tee times. As the highest-ranked player in the World Ranking not in the field, Ricky was on reserve at Royal St. George's all week in case someone else had to withdraw. Well, Nicolas Colsaerts had a tumble on his scooter earlier in the week, and decided at literally the last minute that he couldn't go. So, after making it into the field only as he stepped onto the first tee, Barnes is 1-under through eight holes -- an impressive start, given the circumstances.

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...

Course looks a lot easier then it was earlier when Ricky and Rory were playing.  The wind was pretty rough this morning.  I stayed up and watched a couple hours of their pairing during the front 9 and I rarely saw anyone even hit a green.

Fowler had an awesome birdie putt on #1 though!

Another good story today: Tom Lewis, Boys' Amateur Champion two years ago, was named for Tom Watson. He made it into the field through local qualifying, and was paired with his namesake for the first two rounds. Young Tom is currently 2-under, three shots ahead of Old Tom.

The story so far...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING.

It's only right that Old Tom and Young Tom should play together in the Open

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
