I'm going to root for Dunne. Him winning would be sensasional!

I'm afraid he won't hold on though...

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

Much worse than that. I was me hitting the shots. 1968.

Anyone notice the 2-man booth Golf Channel is using in St Andrews this week? BC and Nobilo are rotating with Lerner. I wonder if there's a space constraint or if there's some friction between Nobilo and BC. I always sort of got the impression Frank doesn't care much for Brandel.


Nobilo is also one of the main commentators on the BBC, so that will be why he's rotating in and out. I think this is only the second time he's been on the BBC; pretty anodyne, in my opinion.

Oosthaizen?

I wonder who that is, if it's the golfer Louis it's ui and not like many US commentators say OOST-HAY-ZEN it's OHW-ST-HOW-ZEN. I wish they'd learn their trade properly and learn to pronounce people's names..it's their job. It's like pronouncing Spieth SPY-ETH or Furyk FER-JUK

That's why I like watching golf on SPORT1 GOLF. No wasting time watching commentators chat around a desk, SPORT1 is just GOLF, GOLF, GOLF, with a background commentary

No, it is not the same.

No one in their right mind would say

SPY-ETH or FER-JUK.

But mispronouncing Louis' name is understandable until they are corrected.

Not really ontopic, but Oosthuizen is actually a Dutch name. No idea how they pronounce it in Afrikaans (which has its roots in Dutch).

Current forecast says the wind will stay somewhat the same through the afternoon and evening.

As an Afrikaans speaker, I can assure you that when Louis gives his name he pronounces it OO-WHIST(not OOST!)-HAY-ZIN.

Not really ontopic, but Oosthuizen is actually a Dutch name. No idea how they pronounce it in Afrikaans (which has its roots in Dutch).

Louis told the press that he doesn't mind if they pronounce his name a bit different. He understands the difficult spelling and the fact that most don't say it the South African way.  Very cool guy IMO.  Even my last name, that only has five letters can be pronounced two ways.

I think St. Andrews is a nice track and has a lot of history obviously but I am not sure how I feel about the competitors that are 7 strokes out of the lead getting a seemingly typical, docile golf course making up strokes while the leaders get more severe wind conditions for their round, battling to maintain par. Watching now.... amateur has 6 birdies on the front 9 another relatively no body has birdied the first 4 holes...

Course is too easy without weather and then other times unplayable with nasty weather. Novelty track, but not sure about returning there for another open.

Perhaps using VPN service and "relocate" you into UK...

ps. BBC broadcast in UK (and rest of the world) starts at 13:45, which is in about 1h15min from now.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By snapfade ·

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
