I meant the last two majors. 2012 was awesome

I enjoyed watching the majors this year, but many didn't and I understand why.  They certainly weren't nail-biters.  I think the British is going to be quite entertaining, we're bound to get a good one here eventually.

"Productive" can be such a vague word to define....

You won't have to as long as you have a deathly illness and are bed stricken ;)

I'm driving home from Carolina all day Sunday. Going to make an attempt to DVR it and watch it Sunday night or Monday morning. I will have to totally ditch the cell phone (with the exception of music) and ignore the outside world.

That's true, it's all relative

Somebody on the Golf Channel said in his practice round at Hoylake he would have been unlikely to break 80 if he played 18 holes.

This is disappointing.

It might have just been a bad day; they said today that he beat Matt Kuchar in a match.

Good stuff.  I'd like both those guys to do well.

Tiger is never going to change. Just watched his press conference. Gotta love him but he's starting to get delusional.

Damn, which group has better ball striking?

I suppose as of RIGHT NOW, you'd have to go with Scott, Rose, Dufner.

Two great groups to watch, especially with the irons.

I didn't catch it, what did he say that was delusional?

Looking at the weather forecast, Friday looks like the day that you're going to have to dodge the big winds. Supposed to blow harder for the afternoon groups, so that doesn't bode well for Tiger or Rory. Other than that, looks like a pretty warm week with some rain over the weekend. Winds not much of a factor besides Friday....but beware it is the UK and forecasts change by the minute.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you
