Wasn't last year's pretty good?

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

What has Dustin Johnson been up to lately? He hasn't played much lately it seems. Does he have a shot at this.

[Hoganwoods]

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.

[tmac20]

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?

Some GREAT pairings! Gonna be a fun week. Gonna have to DVR Sunday though, because I'd still rather play golf than watch it....

[ChrisP]

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.
