Would love a try at it though My yardages suggest it's a smooth 7 iron to the middle of the green every time. Don't see the problem tbh Spoiler Me if I actually had to face it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) It's not a small green and it's a pretty short yardage, but it must look the size of a kitchen table from the tee.

peasy23 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Good start from MacIntyre today but he's dropped 5 shots since, going to miss the cut with plenty to spare.Laird safely in for the weekend, Knox in at the moment but still plenty of holes to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Rory’s golf seems utterly ganting yet he’s still 2nd favourite for The Masters? What am I missing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dropped more shots today than yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Rory’s golf seems utterly ganting yet he’s still 2nd favourite for The Masters? What am I missing? He hadn't played all that badly up to this week, he has 4 top 10s this year, he was just doing his usual of chucking one stinker of a round in and doing nothing of note on a Sunday. He has played some dreadful stuff this week, he took an iron off the tee yesterday at one hole and missed the fairway by 30 yards or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Jesus. Sergio's yips back with a vengeance. Just had his 4th three-jab of the round with what looked like a missed 1 footer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Garcia winning the British boys round Glenbervie in 1997. He was waiting for the green to clear on the 1st. Didn't he get to +6 at one point? I think he was around that when he won the British Amateur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Kevin McAlpine (who plays up your way) getting to +5.5 tbh you need to knocking it round 6,000 yard courses in five or six under to consider turning pro. I played against Kevin in a Strathie League match (4BBB) in 2006ish round Kirrie. He was off +4 at that time. His partner was off 2, me and the other Kirrie lad were 4 and 5, so a bit of a mismatch. Was relatively pleased to only lose 5&3 tbh. His ball striking was a joy to watch though - he just slung out massive high draws with driver and stinger-type shots with a 2 iron that were going 250+. He generally pissed about and was still about a few under through 15. His partner was basically a spectator. Some boy - hit it miles and told us "that's nothing, Wallace Booth carts it 30 yards past me". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit to add he makes the birdie and is in for the weekend. Good man. Edited March 12, 2021 by Distant Doonhamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said his decision making is awful just now. His press conferences are full of how he's lost his mojo but also that he's taking the positives from elements of his game. He seems mentally all over the place at the moment. Edit to add as Peasy23 suggests he has two gears on a Sunday, either neutral or rapid reverse. At least we're spared that this weekend.

Honest_Man#1 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 How often would the golfers of P&B buy a new set of clubs? Mine are about 12/13 years old so planning to buy a new set this year. Also, what are the thoughts on steel vs graphite? Current set are graphite but think I’ll go for steel this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely mental. His wedge game has always been his weakness, so it stands to reason he would try to get more length in order to hit more of them. 2 minutes ago, Honest_Man#1 said: How often would the golfers of P&B buy a new set of clubs?

Just depends on personal preference tbh. I last changed about 3 years ago, having had the previous set for 5. My mate who plays off 3 has had the same set of blades for 11 years, although he is considering changing at the end of this year. As for steel v graphite, it doesn't matter as long as you get a shaft that suits you. Recommend getting a proper fitting, although you might have to wait until Jason says that's allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
