Irish Open on the European Tour this weekend.  Venue Fota island, near Cork. Probably bring your umbrella.  All of Europe, many from Asia, but few USA guys in the field.   Everyone will be watching John Daly, a great lifter of Guinness.

Good field, top 3 players in the top 10 not otherwise exempt get into the Open. Maybe Jose Maria or John Daly can earn a spot lol :)

Ever since I found out my great grandpa traveled from his home of County Cork to a new life in Minnesota, I've been obsessed with all things Ireland. The Irish Open heads to the gorgeous Fota Island Resort in Cork this weekend.

There's a great Irish field that includes Rory, G-Mac, Paddy, and Lowry...along with some other fun notables including Victor, Gallacher, John Daly, Paul Casey, and Darren Clarke.

This will also be Britain's young star in the making, Matthew Fitzpatrick's, first professional debut.

Matthew was the low amateur at the US Open.

Fota Island is absolutely gorgeous (though it is a parkland course)

Should be a great tournament.

slightly off-topic: If you're interested in Ireland's courses at all, read the book "A course called Ireland." Hilariously awesome.

John Daly has been stolen by the Travelers Championship. He won the British Open, he is already eligible.

I think I like the new qualifying a bit more. A few of them have already been played, but not many relevant names except maybe Cheng Tsung Pan & John Senden

No one liked my Irish Open thread? :~(

Well as long as people are talking about it.

It's been fun watching Paddy outplay Rory this morning.

Golf channel should be showing quite a bit of G-Mac's back nine starting here in 5 minutes.

Edit: what happened to John Daly? I could have sworn I saw him in the line up for the Irish Open...now I see he has a tee time at the Travelers.

Good news. I'm taping this tournament and the women's US Open this week. Not bothering with the Traveler's if Bubba is the headliner. And I'm from CT

G-Mac goes birdie-birdie and then hits what I think was a rather embarrassing chunk off the tee. He double facepalmed himself.

FIGURES! I decide not to wake up and watch this morning and my man G-Mac shoots a 66 and is now tied for the lead at -8.

Oh well, McIlroy and Paddy are on later.

Padraig and Rory are starting on the back 9 right now on the golf channel. Paddy played 3 under on the front 9, five under overall. Rory needs something special if he wants to make the cut. Currently +4 in the tournament.

After 2 rounds Illonen at minus 10 on top.  Minus 8 includes Gmac, Rock and Wattel.  Others follow. Rory misses cut, heads north to mum.  2 USA guys make cut but won't earn much.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
