First time I've seen someone hit the road hole bunker in the 2nd round. Leave it to Tiger. He's been doing a lot of stuff (none of it good) no one else has been doing.

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

Well, as long as we can not get it out of that bunker linke Tiger just did, I guess we need to hush and take a bow

Not too bad for Tiger. He beat Faldo by three shots.

Yup. That was a big par. Kept him in 147th place. Huge improvement this week from Chambers Bay. Definitely worthy of a bow.

I can't imagine what would be required if he made the cut...

Weather forecast looks to be some rain the next couple days. But no wind tomorrow. You'll see guys really go low, I think.

Monday's forecast actually looks a lot like Thursday's. Same wind direction and wind speeds, so I think you'll see some tough conditions coming down the stretch.

Hearing the golf yellers .....and I can't detect British accents when they yell "get in the hole!"

You ever hear British accents when rock stars like Mick Jagger or Roger Daltry yell on their songs?? Also, are we being rude by calling them British accents? Should we just be calling them "The" accent?

Oh well, I leave it. I will admit I am a big TW fan. He is playing bad, he knows it. I just don't get it why he is getting the sarcastic treatment. Nevermind.

Brits are too proper and respect the game too much to yell like these idiots do. They've got to be ugly Americans.

NFL games have been called due to fog that golfers would play in. A Bears Eagles playoff game IIRC. Are you going to call them wusses too?

Rules are designed to create fair play in golf. If the ball cannot remain still on the green, they postpone play.


The Fog Bowl, as it was called, was played to its complication with no stoppage in play. Even though the fog was so bad you could not from one sideline to the other.

This weather discussion is just silly. Different games can tolerate different weather conditions.

Don't forget Football Hooliganism. The English variety of which is probably the worst. No propriety and respect there.

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

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Beastie ·

      It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
