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.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
