Considering he was the finest British golfer of his generation, and he's rumoured to be playing his final British Open (a tournament he won three times), I think he has every right to be out there. His playing partners have nothing to complain about (and I suspect they are not).

Agree. He was so fun to watch in his prime.

Ben Martin's wife is not at the British Open, and the reason will make you laugh.  From golfdigest.com. http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2015/07/ben-martins-wife-is-not-at-the.html

Problem with ESPN and Fox is they can't attract great golf talent because they do only one big tournament a year. This was discussed the other day on radio. Feherty's contract is up after this year and Fox wants to make a run at him but Feherty's not going to go to a network that only does one tournament a year. He'll either stay at CBS or to NBC. The best guys are going to go where you can cover golf regularly.

Meant to be tongue-in-cheek, guys. Although I suspect the last alternate is not happy watching Faldo duff his way around the course.

Jason Day shoots a -6 for his opening round. After his gritty performance at the US Open I hope he wins this one.

That would be nice.  I'm a fan of the way he plays.

Those pot bunkers look like sink holes when the camera is way back!!!

The coverage on the Open website is up and down.  They show golf for a while then do boring stuff that I could care less about.  I can't stream ESPN at work.

They look even worse when you're in the bottom of one of them!

Poor Rose and Fowler, having to drag Faldo around all day.

I thought you guys liked wannabee yank Faldo.. wasn't that why he jumped the pond and eventually CBS took him on.. I wonder if Justin or Rickie are the butt of his typical condescending comments today.. I do feel somewhat sorry for them ..

Justin is a wannabee Yank too. He's lived here for a long time! So have many, many UK players!

I'm sure Rosie and Ricky can dish it back to Sir Nick.

I hope he wins as well.

As for Tiger, I am officially off the band wagon.  He's more like Sylvester the cat than Tiger these days.

I was hoping he would continue improving, but I just don't see it anymore.  Unless he starts playing more tournament regularly, I don't think he can compete anymore.

Tiger Woods Fires Swing Coach Charles Barkley

Quote:

“Charles has a very unorthodox approach to swinging the golf club and I think he can help me re-find my own natural swing and let me get back to playing more instinctively,” Woods said last September when announcing the hire. “I know it’s not a traditional hire, but I didn’t win 14 majors by being traditional.”

Unfortunately, Barkley’s advice has only made Woods worse and the golfer today made the move many have expected for weeks. The TNT NBA analyst said he has no hard feelings.

“I made more than $700,000 betting against Tiger the last few months,” said Barkley. “I don’t regret being his swing coach at all. It was great.”

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Been watching the streaming coverage on TheOpen.com....I have to admit I love how it is not "over-produced" like we get here in the States.....very refreshing to see things done simply and well.

So I wonder if Watson and Faldo got to pick one of their partners. Watson has always said Snedeker is like a younger version of him and we always hear Faldo praise Rosie.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
