DigOutYourSoul Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Our course all green keepers are still working 4 hours 6 days a week so by the end of this the course should hopefully be in great condition. Had the dog down today and all divots on the holes I walked had been repaired, greens being cut and swooshed. With a long time not playing, and the GKs still working the course should be incredible whenever we’re allowed to play again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatowner Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Not being able to play is doing my head in. The courses here had all scheduled coring to happen just as the lock-down came in. Means when we restart golf we are in for pretty dodgy greens until spring comes round. Edited March 31, 2020 by expatowner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Calum Hill managed to get himself to Arizona before flights were stopped, his girlfriend comes from there. He leads after the second round of 3 at the Verrado Founders Championship on the Outlaw Golf Tour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 If anybody is stuck at home and wants a decent podcast to listen to, the last 2 McKellar Golf podcasts have been excellent. Lawrence Donegan and John Huggan are the regular hosts, last week they had Geoff Ogilvy as guest, and this week Padraig Harrington. Both well worth a listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 New dates for the other three major have been announced. Looks like the Open has given way to make sure the Ryder Cup is still in the schedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I’m more gutted that I won’t get to read any brilliant DL3 opening preview posts now. The man is quite the wordsmith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Open has given way to make sure the Ryder Cup is still in the schedule. Shame. Would lose any of the other 3 to make way for the Open easily, by far my favourite major. I'd even take a December Open with all the pros playing to shitty winter greens and off mats, that'd sort the men from the boys. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could've been played as late as Sept I would have thought. They would have to reduce the field by quite a margin. Field of 156 usually starting at 6.30ish in the morning on the first two days are still playing until about 9pm. Lot less daylight later in the year.Royal St. George's will now host next year, with St. Andrew's then hosting the 150th open in 2022. Hoylake was set for 2022, with Troon hosting in 2023 to mark the centenary of the first Open held there, be interesting to see what the R&A do with those 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
