84 for me today which is more than I deserved, was hitting the ball dreadfully. 2 birdies on the front 9, out in 39, back in 45 including a double and triple bogey. Was a bit of a race against the light to get finished but a nice day and don't get many days that are that still up here with not a breath of wind, which I suppose is the only reason I scraped an ok score while barely being able to find the clubface.

McGinley looked absolutely finished at that last corner.

Frustrating. This was a chance, I thought they'd be better than they are. 2 daft mistakes and that's us. Suppose that's the margins at this level.

They're basically trying to turn this second half into a shitfest fouling match. Shame we don't still have the thunderdome team, they wouldn't know what they were getting themselves in to.

They've accumulated a fair few yellows now. Think they could easily lose a man this half.

Declan needs to at least hit the target there, real chance.

Day 2 of Bryson as a major champion....*sigh*
This tweet from No Laying Up was very interesting although obviously based on conjecture. Bryson could absolutely break Augusta next month.

Haven’t seen Oosthuizen at all either who, as far as I’m aware, is still well in contention at even par.

Bryson pounding a drive 350ish down the first before hitting a shit wedge shot to 40 feet and 3 putting with 2 dreadful efforts....pleasing.

Yeah, I've contacted the handicap secretary. The pro reckons that because it is fairly obvious what the error is that there could be leeway, and has already apologised profusely for sending us out with him, to be followed up with some freebies from the shop.
Would probably just take never having to play with him again but free sweeties never goes a miss either....
Looks like Thomas and Cabrera Bello might be paired in the second last group tomorrow, they'll be a fun pairing to watch.
Why are we still seeing Tiger duffing about in the cabbage? He's gone US TV, get over it.

I’d be taking that up with the club secretary. You’ve kept your side of the deal and someone outwith your control had fucked up. If it’s just the two of you tomorrow then don’t go. He’s clearly a fucking liability.I'd second this. Don't think you should give up a net 64 in those circumstances without doing something about it. At the very least you might prevent this guy from shafting other players.
Patrick Reed's a knob but his scrambling has been a pleasure to watch today. Please don't let Reed or DeChambeau win.

Carson saved 3 against Stranraer and it wasn't enough...
I appreciate the low effort of this tweet
Heard it lads
WE GO AGAIN!!!
Not sure Lamie balling at the top of his voice right in Trev's ears would have been overly welcome....

Very similar to me rehearsing my speech during extra time for the inevitable ripping the pish at work tomorrow (minus the Celtic regalia).
Just thankful to be through now, that about quarter of a million quid? Don’t really care how we get through when that’s on the line for one game.

Don't know what the f**k yous were worried about....

Are we actually hitting long balls to Seedorf? Is that the strategy?

This coverage is fucking dreadful. Audio is ear bleeding.

Making them difficult is one thing. There have been US Opens in the past where the greens were way beyond difficult.I hope I'm wrong but my senses are telling me that they might cross the line into farse this year and that video does little to ease concerns. A ball that goes to the back of the green without backspin and nearly rolls off the front on greens this size? That's not fun to play or watch, it's farcical.
I'm all for them setting the course up tough. Long rough- fine, hard fairways - fine, long par 3s and 4s - fine but this USGA aspiration of always having the US Open have a level par or worse winning score drives them to madness sometimes and it's probably the reason it's by far my least favourite of the majors as a spectator.
Of course, reserve judgement until play is actually underway then can get a sense if they've got the balance right.

Can you see that? I don't even want to type it out. Will be scarred for life. This is about June, I am lucky enough to be a member at Carnoustie. Saturday afternoon, playing 13. Par three, white tees, pin back left so about 165. Slightly downbreeze.
The green is kind of a figure of 8 shape with the lip of the left and right bunker cutting into the green on each side. If the pin is on the right in the right place you can aim for the lip of the left bunker and it will kick towards it. Same even more so on the other side.
This was perfect. You know how sometimes a shot just suits your eye, well this was just perfect for me. Teed it up on the left of the tee as usual and picked a divot a few yards in front of the ball to aim at, just suited me so well didn't even have a practice swing. Fairly full 7 iron without needing to swing out of your shoes.
As soon as I hit it it was just perfect, couldn't have been any better. Felt crisp and solid but swinging within myself, on the perfect line everything about it looked great. Said to my playing partner 'this could be the one', it carries to about five yards short of the flag and almost ten right of it, absolutely bang on the money lands literally in the perfect spot to kick to the flag, you couldn't go up there and pick a better spot.
Kicks hard left and starts to run across the green, with about ten feet to go I'm thinking that's in, no doubt about it that's going in the hole. Its rolling across the green relatively slowly, straight at the flag.
Last second it changed direction a tiny wee bit and I could still see it. I thought maybe its stuck against the side of the flag. Get up there that is what I see.
Now, you'll notice they've added those wee hooks to the flags. I actually work with a guy whose friend makes them, and since this happened they have modified them, they wrap round the flag now and are tight to the pin, before they were a couple of cm away from the flag. Effectively making the hole smaller. And they have a wee bit of spring in them not like a flag.
And that's where my ball finished. Its come in from the right hand side and a bit below and hit the hook and sat there. To my dying day I will believe I was cheated out of a hole in one, hit the perfect shot in the perfect place, got the perfect bounce, was rolling towards the hole. Absolutely stunningly beautiful, could try it a million times and never do it again, and would probably have been the greatest shot of my life.
There's nobody will ever convince me that doesn't go in if the hook wasn't there. My first thought was oh well I've had one already or that would have been really bad. But I'll never get over it.
Firstly, that's so cool (being a Carnoustie member), nice one.
Secondly, I agree you were robbed, that's a difficult one to live with. At least you have had an ace before, if you hadn't, that'd be sleepless nights....

At US majors I tend to find myself routing for whoever the American crowd is not but not sure the 'Koepka against the world' mentality we seem to get at majors would have the same effect with no fans. Not been a great season for Brooks, hopefully his injury issues clear up and he comes back, he's an enjoyable player to watch.

Don't really want to be that guy who posts his Trackmans but my girlfriend doesn't give a f**k and I had to share these numbers with someone. Think I found a swing thought at the driving range today....
No idea what the Trackman picked up with that second 4 iron shot, hit 5 balls with each club. Possibly picked up a shot from the bay next to me or something.
That first 6 iron shot was pretty much the only poor one I hit, hopefully onto something!

Just watching the golf from Valderrama. The boy Catlin who is leading is painfully slow.
So close for Kaymer there. Really felt he needed to hole that birdie putt on the 17th.
Edit: How many times is a tournament won with a birdie free final round?!

We recently played Moray Old and New plus Nairn Dunbar over a 3 day period. Really enjoyed all 3 but Moray Old the pick of the three for me-probably influenced by the fact I played as well as I have done for years that day. Really enjoyed Nairn Dunbar too. Had 3 birdies including two 2s. A great few days golf.Yeh, based on what I saw of the Old as the New meandered through the land, it looked like a more interesting layout. The 18th looked like a mad finishing hole. The new was a nice course with lovely views of the lighthouse, just found some of the holes a bit forgettable and, like I said, thought the par 3s were a bit too short and easy.

I follow a tip I saw from a video with Padraig Harrington and always have a big bag of almonds in my golf bag and have a small handful on every 2nd tee box.
If I'm playing 18 I always fill two water bottles too, one for the front 9 and one for the back 9.
Energy levels are usually ok on that but I do have the habit of getting ahead of myself if I score well on the front 9 and make daft mistakes on the back. Ever since I started in golf, my scores have almost always been worse on the back 9. Clearly something mental there I need to work on and I know from a swing point of view, my tempo tends to get faster and faster the longer I'm playing.
