Is the matchplay finished yet?

I can imagine Horschel and Scheffler standing in the club car park with their caddies agonising for hours with a map over the best route to take to Augusta. 

I cannot wait to watch the pair of them in action in the Ryder Cup.

**Fantasy Golf Transfer Window**

The transfer window is now open and will close at start of play at Augusta. 

Changes will come into effect at the Masters. The next window is after the Open Championship in July, so this will be your team for the 4 double point majors and the x1.5 Scottish Open, so choose wisely.

You can make as many changes as you wish to, following the original template of 1 from each pool and 1 from each of the tour lists, plus another 4 from the tour lists.

Either tag me in your post, or send a DM with your changes.

A reminder of everyone's teams and their individual points totals gained so far.

I wish I’d played much more when I was younger, some of these juniors you see come through that have been playing since 6 or 7 and have technically brilliant swings, and because they learned so young they never lose it.
 

As I mentioned earlier my cousin plays off plus 3, was runner up in the Scottish Boys Championship a few years ago when I went up to watch him at Monifeith, it was like watching the pros. If I remember rightly the 18th at Monifeith is a long Par 5, the boy he was playing took a driver off the deck for his second shot and stuck it in the greenside bunker, then chipped in out the bunker for an eagle and to win the match :lol: 

Im the highest handicap in our group of 4, but as well as marking our own cards we play fourballs for a fiver a hole. I seem to play better in that format when I’m with a partner, and love the competitive side of it. It really is some game, choking for the country to open up and get playing properly. 

It’s brilliant playing with someone who’s just sensational at golf*. One of my mates is +2 and it’s wild some of the stuff he pulls off. Last time The Open was at St Andrews he played a competition on the Old Course on the Monday with the same layout and shot 1 under. It’s crazy that someone that good though is still so far off being able to go pro.

*also hilarious how raging they get with shots that I would consider to be some of my best ever :lol:

One of my mates is a reinstated amateur, having been a teaching pro for a few years. He was off +1 at Troon when he turned pro, and considered his level at his best as being the equivalent of a big standard League 1 football team. He reckoned he was closer to the level of a mid handicapper than he was to a regular tour pro.

Yeah definitely. The boy I was talking about who has been +2 for a while, used to get asked all the time why he didn’t turn pro and he was quite open in saying he was miles off them and would finish around the bottom of every tournament he entered so would be penniless.

I play regularly with a guy who hovers around scratch or +1, it's phenomenal to watch. He's a decent driver of the ball, straight but not especially long, but his irons and short game are deadly. If he does miss a green then I've very rarely seen him not get up and down. Love playing with him.

The head pro from Strathaven joined Bishopbriggs last year and I was partnered with him for his first round. He hit it for fucking miles off the tee, I've played with a couple of the biggest hitters among the members, but he was easily 15-20 yards longer than any of them.

I got lessons from a guy who has won a couple of challenge tour tourneys and had a full euro tour card for a season. He says it's not the ability that's the difference, as all these guys are capable of shooting low scores. It's being able to produce that 3 or 4 rounds a week, just about every week, that makes all the difference.

Blustery winds in Texas for the first round of the Valero Open in Texas, Speith keeping up his recent run with an opening 67.

Mickelson hit one to 6 feet on the 9th, the closest anyone had put it there in 2 all day. Then 3 putted for bogey.

Tournament golf coming to Tayport later in the year with one leg of the Rose Ladies Series being played at Scotscraig Golf Club.

Excellent. Justin Rose is an Honorary member at Scotscraig (awarded in 2018).

He played there aged 14 in 1984 in Final Open qualifying.

Phil Mickelson makes a great putt for a 10 (ten) on the par 5 18th. Commentators reckoned it was a 9 but PGA leaderboard has it a a 10.

Decent level par 72 for Laird to currently sit tied 39th. 

Two over 74 for Knox to be tied 84th. One over is currently T57 so a decent round tomorrow and he can still make the cut.

Bugger, put it off just as they went on to 17. Shot tracker certainly has it as 10, shots 5, 6 and 7 are particularly interesting. Did well to get up and down for his 10 in the end. Screenshot_20210402-080025_PGA%20TOUR.jpg
