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...

Wind is not supposed to change for rest of the day.

edit. perhaps it will change... forecasting the future is vague.

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.

Espn feed is up now

The Open app isn't streaming anything now. I was watching ESPN ESPN (ESPN actual) at 6. But there's a Spanish feed. Watching that now. No commercials so far.

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

Looks like it picks up 5-6 mph from 1-5 pm

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

Hey boss, I got this stomach thing, cough cough, won't be able to make it in today. Sorry.

There's 4 amateurs in the top 10...

Good call. There are also 23 players in the top 10!

Edit: And how often do you have to actually win the tournament to be the low amateur?

Mickelson just dropped from #5 to #32 with his balcony shot on 17th. One slip and down the leaderboard you go.

Yeah and Schniederjans is making a mess of 17, will cost him a birth in next years open likely.

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.

I noticed this too. I am almost positive they've done this in past years, too, so it has to be a space issue in the booth.

Sergio's off. I think he's a good dark horse pick today. It seems he's let go of the baggage that's kept him from winning one of these things; this feels like it could be the day.

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...

Dustin Johnson is really a mess. All the way down to -4. Fowler struggling today too. For the first time since the Pinehurst U.S. Open, I won't be cashing a ticket this week. The streak is over :(

Duval having a good day again, -3 thru 12. Good for him.

If he could do this more than once every three years or so, he wouldn't have to take a TV job.

And here's Koepka again. He seems to always be quietly around.

Round 1: -1

Round 2: -2

Round 3: -3

So far, Round 4: -4 (through 10)

Total -10

The weather just made a turn in the last ten minutes or so. If Donald can make it to the clubhouse at 10-under, it may be a while before someone tops it.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
