Sounds intriguing.

Mark James - "We don't seem to have heard so many "In the holes" this week. Thankfully"

Peter Alliss - "We're a bit more civilised on this side of the Atlantic"


I'm looking at this leaderboard; Scott Van Pelt just said Charl Schwartzel is the lowest-ranked player in the top seven, at 26th in the world. I thought this course could give is the first out-of-left-field major winner in several years, but that's definitely not the case.

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...


Surpised they aren't struggling all that much today with the weather. Any reason they started off so early? Top pairing was already through 5 by 7:30PM EST. Majors this year the leaders haven't typically teed off until 2:30PM EST

Seems like the guys are starting to struggle a bit. Clubs are digging. Lots of errant drives and ball is not carry on those greens.

Thunder forecasts later in the day worried the R&A; I think.

There's a risk of lightning, so they've telescoped the times -- off the first and tenth tees so that if there's a delay they'll still be able to get the full day's play in. First time it's ever been done at the Open.

Kinda bitter. I woke up at 7 and was like "oh hell yeah gonna have a long day of watching a full round of the leaders" and I turn it on and DJ is putting on 5. WTF

A ton of bogies on #7 by most on the first page of the leaderboard.

Rory's par putt was about as good as a birdie against his closest competitors.

I don't know what hole is playing the toughest today but #7 has to be up there among the most difficult.

Yea, I woke up at 6, turned on the TV to see if they were covering it yet and was shocked to see Rory being announced on the 1st tee.

You mean that I agreed with Shorty?  Or that I disagreed about Rory?

Doesn't matter, struck me wrong, didn't need to mention it.

If there is one thing this thread shows it's that the interest in Tiger Woods is still alive and kicking nicely - most players who have dominated and then faded have been allowed to gently slip into the good night...but not Eldrick.

Probably because he can and has come back and won 5 tournaments in a year after being "washed up"...

    • Day 211: putting work today on my mat. Worked on some feels to get my head to move less. Contact was improving.
    • Day 9: 2/15/2025 Spent several 5-10 minutes sessions today working on what I learned from Yoda yesterday. Pretty much a new priority piece. 
    • Day 25 (15 Feb 25) - A little background on today’s drill session.  On the way to band rehearsal this morning I was listening to the guys on PGA Tour radio in the golf school segment and they got to talking about short game practice.  As I love working that part of the game, my ears perked up.  They were talking taking multiple clubs and doing pitches/chips from the same distance and learning how each flies the ball.  So today was the start of the 8P54 drill (8i - Pw - 54°).   Set it up to hit two balls with each club from the same lie to a set distance.  It really helps envision what I should see in each club.  A sweet new twist to a fave drill.

    • I will most likely buy the TSR1 klineka mentioned, though they didn't respond when I asked the seller if they had the +6 weight. They only said the weight was the standard 9g. I contacted a couple of local pro shops, one said they would call Titleist on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday) for me to order a +6 weight, but the one said Titleist wouldn't have it anymore since it's an older model. Anyway, I will probably buy an aftermarket weight from eBay. Any concerns around aftermarket weight on eBay? They are not cheap, like around $15.
