I thought the England vs Columbia game was very boring including all of the chippiness.   It was nice to finally see the referee start issuing yellow cards.    The only thing this game missed was Neymar rolling across the field!   England went dead about the 75 minute and Columbia capitalized on their laziness.    I hated to see the game end this way.

Yep - a poor substitution from Southgate in bringing on Dier and being too defensive didn't help.

Great match last night and loved seeing Belgium win but show quite a few weaknesses at the same time. Such an open tournament!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Brazil may well have advanced had its star player spent as much time playing football as he did looking for a place to land.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Belgium's defense looked very good and their keeper was great against Brazil.   I'm hoping for good games today, predicting England and Croatia wins.

I'll be pulling for England but I think Sweden and Croatia will advance.  Who knows though...eh?  With so many of the usual suspects out...

Sweden hasn't looked very impressive in this WC imo and I doubt they'll beat England. If so, maybe on penalties. Sweden has really struggled getting the ball into the net after a good attack. They beat SK 1-0, lost 2-1 to Germany, beat Mexico 3-0 and Switzerland 1-0.

Sweden just didn’t show up today. Flat footed the whole game. Great seeing Brazil lose to Belgium. Russia gonna have hands full with Croatia.

wow, what a world cup it's been so far, I can't believe we've made it as far as the semi's. 

Feels very strange, because it's probably the weakest England team I've known in my lifetime, and yet that's probably working to their advantage because the usual burden of expectation has been lifted. That said, we've not really got above 3rd gear yet, and been extremely fortunate with the draw, so the big test will not come, starting with Croatia who are an excellent side. 

Both semi finals should be good matches - all 4 teams will believe they can win their game, so there shouldn't be any team playing for penalties unless there are red cards.

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

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
