OMG Just seen that my two favourites, Jason and Louis are saddled with Woods today. Having a donkey playing with you often pulls the play of the rest down towards his level. I hope their caddies have got horse blinkers in the bags so they don't need to see it..

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

Danny Willett? Marx Warren? What the hey? The wind is supposed to switch here soon so imagine if Willett gets to 12 and all of a sudden he's playing those holes downwind? Huge advantage for the morning guys. Afternoon guys are gonna get hosed

Hate to say it, but Willett may be this year's Oosthuizen......get in early at -11 or -12 and then the wind will like blow like hell as soon as he finishes and the rest of the guys begin to plummet.

The info I'm looking at is probably just the PGA tour then I'm assuming.. But at the same time we are taking about they nedbank golf challenge? Also, T57 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC? MC at US open, MC At players.. You have to admit the guy is virtually unknown..

He may be virtually unknown, but he has one thing going for him......He may getting the luckiest end of the draw, and could be huge.

I guess I just happened to catch coverage of some of his good tournaments recently. He's someone I'm somewhat familiar with.

In fact I picked him in this thread--> http://thesandtrap.com/t/82680/pick-5-guys-that-will-finish-in-top-10-that-are-out-of-top-25-world-rankings/0_30#post_1155756

How wrong I was! Missed the cut, as you said. Lol.

Also, I wrote T6 Dubai, when I meant Irish Open! I watched him there and was impressed. Probably why I picked him in the US Open above.

Is Justin Rose wearing Oakley's? Seems a bit odd - I thought he had his own Adidas Sunglasses?

Willett is not unknown for the European Tour followers. Having a good season, won a fairly big tournament

Agreed - definitely getting better and backing himself far more since the Nedbank. Played well in the Irish too, if I remember rightly.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Willett's an okay player. Wouldn't say he's great. More of a Webb Simpson type if you want to compare him to a PGA guy. Marc Warren is another guy I'm not too familiar with but he has the golfing physique and swing. Really think the afternoon guys may get screwed here. I have a feeling brutal winds are coming.

The afternoon groups got screwed yesterday, so it all works out.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.

      April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
