6 birdies and 5 bogeys for Bob in Round 1 of the Amex, he was playing at La Quinta was is supposedly the easier of the 3 courses. For comparison 7 of the leading 13 who are -8 or better were playing there.
Yeah, not great at all on the easiest course as you say. Making the cut looks pretty unlikely this week. Hopefully Bob can get some momentum going with better first rounds in upcoming events. Still finding his feet so far (although he did OK last week). Bit surprised he didn't play Dubai this week but maybe he couldn't be arsed with the flights.

Aye but then you won the league and ended up assembling a highly entertaining squad that got to a playoff final and narrowly lost on penalties. I’d take that over what we’ve been served up since he left any day of the week.
We did that by spending beyond our means under our idiot megalomaniac ex-chairman, and getting lucky when Doolan came in and got the team to kick on when things had been drifting badly under McCall (who to be fair to him had a long injury list). We just squeezed into the final playoff spot on GD before the playoff chaos.
McCall seems like a decent guy and is an interesting character, so I hope he doesn't end his managerial days at Clyde. I suppose if he did come back to you he'd quite likely keep you up - and if you went down, he'd probably get you back up out of L1. Would he be welcomed back though?

Aberdeen to come down and Alloa and Annan to be promoted. Ayr, Arbroath and Airdrie to stay up.
They could call it The A league, or Serie A.

Switched on, heard "Biscuits" and a ref talking about VAR, switched off immediately.

Based on what I have seen this season, the entire Partick Thistle team
We've been dreadful against your lot and I'd possibly pick our goalie in this XI - but we're third in the table, so our entire team quite clearly aren't the worst in the league, unless you mean that Doolan is a genius manager for getting an entire team of worst players to 3rd?

Tenner on the good guys tomorrow, slight favourites which is uncommon but nice to see
Betting against your own team as insurance, I like it

What’s Turner like then, guys?
Better than any of our current midfielders! He was really good for us last season, not sure how he's done since though.

"we're the team you come to when you need three points"
"referees know the rules but don't understand the game"
"goals change games"*
*I understand that last one but I am always baffled when commentators bother to say it. We know that!

I don't fancy us here at all tbh. We did well today against a shite opposition but have no real momentum and a very soft midfield. Greenock will be right up for it and are on a great run. Would be delighted with a point. Bonus if BBG gets a goal and causes a stooshie of some kind.

Chance to focus on the Championship today, lads? Some detailed previews and the state of play in the division midway through the season?
Hang on... you're going with VAR? Again?? Really????

David Mitchell definitely won’t be back in the squad tomorrow, Doolan didn’t give a timescale on his return but said he has a back injury. Sneddon will keep his place between the sticks then.

Handicap has gone from 5 up to 9 over the last two seasons, all down to my putting dropping off a cliff. Target for the year is to get back to around 7. This will involve loads of putting practice inside 6ft.
Good luck - practice is obviously the way to go if you have the time. I know it's the workman and not the tool but do you switch putters much? I find that can help if you're having a bad spell on the greens, especially going from blade to mallet or vice versa. And a properly fit putter makes a difference too.
I am the opposite from you in general - driving is my big issue and can be wild; my good scores are on days I keep it in play. Chipping and putting are generally what rescue me!

What are we all looking forward to or aiming to achieve this golfing year?
For me, it's getting more golf (had back trouble last year and barely played after June), and maybe turning around the slow increase in my handicap (drifted up to 11.1, would love to get back to 9 or lower if I can get the golf in).
Would also love to get a ticket to watch the Open at Troon, but no idea how likely that is. Boo to the advance ballot and to the R&A in general.

New Year's Day walk with Fern, a belated HNY to all the P&B dogs and owners out there.

"They are c***s" would have been quicker to type.
You could justifiably post that over and over again on most threads about the behaviour of both Old Firm clubs and a "small minority" of their fanbases - but while 100% accurate, it wouldn't be as enjoyable.

Collum is fine. He has his terrible moments but he's not corrupt or anything.
Listened to his podcast episode with Boyd and Snograss, it really helped show the human being behind the ref that you're shouting abuse at.
The whole thing of requesting he doesn't referee their matches is classic Rangers. The same club who were allowed to turn away the league's main sponsor because of a conflict of interest.
Will be raging if this agreed to.
And thinking they can dictate who the BBC sends to Ibrox because they don't like the reporting.
All these things are concomitant with an organisation with a massive sense of entitlement and no self-awareness. You'd have thought financial collapse and liquidation would have maybe given them pause for reflection, but no. If anything, it added the same sense of victimhood their ugly sister is well known for, on top of the ugly sectarian triumphalism. Not a pleasant combination.

The national broadcaster - funded by taxpayers to provide a service - should be above that type of thing though.
I appreciate I'm preaching to the choir here.
Surely they could do both? Keep a couple of midweek Scottish Football Podcast slots for Tom English and Michael Stewart to argue over whatever nonsense they've chosen that week, but keep Saturday Sportsound for giving a bit of insight into games up and down the country.
Agree with everything you say, especially the first line as they are currently pandering to the thickest of OF fans - but to do the last thing they'd need to sack almost everyone and bring in a new group of pundits.
Failing that, they could at least tell everyone at matches to make sure they always immediately state which team has scored and the score of the match when they cut in with an update. That's the most basic thing that most of these morons seem entirely unable to do. The anchor should also spend much more time going round the grounds than is currently happening.
Lastly, "Biscuits" should not cover Hearts games every week (or if he does, his voice should not exceed a certain pitch, say 100 Hertz of Midlothians), and he should always state "I am his agent" when talking about his own players in discussions - it's such an obvious conflict of interest that he is both a national pundit and an agent.

Tam Cerny is only 38 and still in Scotland. I'm only half joking when I say I'd rather have him coaxed out of retirement and in goals for us than Sneddon or Mitchell. If he throws any in he can just have a word with the ref and get the goal chalked off.

It’s that Ark Sports tosser who was behind the PTFC Trust original takeover. He also represents Dowds and had a wee outburst about never wanting to deal with Doolan again.
Jeezo. If Mitchell or his agent has said he's downed tools then I hope he's out the club pronto with a minimal payoff this month. What a nonsense of a situation.

"Biscuits" is absolute murder to listen to.

Eh? Thought I would have been way in front of those others in my category. Gutted!
They're not in order - but your tireless, never-ending moaning and greeting in Thistle and Scotland threads (particularly the latter during a time of obvious success) may just put you bottom of the class.

Surely the Aberdeen Football Monitoring Board will get things back on track?

Seeing Craig Gordon back playing today was lovely stuff.
