MP_MFC Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 The PGA handled it terribly. Imagine thinking that it was a good idea to tell him live on tv on the 18th green. Just send him out on his own with a socially distanced marker.It will have hit their social media engagement target big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just send him out on his own with a socially distanced marker.They can't let him play just because he is leading when other players have had to miss tourneys because they tested positive or were having to isolate. Agree that it was shockingly bad way to tell him, but pretty much what you expect from the PGA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew he had tested positive half way through his round, but still let him finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've done with them arriving 12 hours earlier as it might've saved me an absolute howler of a day in a Club Champs qualifier played in perfect conditions... My new Ping irons came in during the week. First shot at the range with them today, will take a bit of time getting used to as I’ve moved from graphite to steel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And @Honest_Man#1 you might be interested in the Dornoch Firth Golf Pass for your trip. Might save you a few quid. Covers Tain, Golspie, Brora and the Struie course at Royal Dornoch. You can do the Championship course as well but I think you pay a top up fee to use it. https://www.dornochfirthgolf.co.uk/ Not sure you'd get a tee time on the championship course at this stage for end if the month. As an add on to Mr Stewart's fine summary, the Caber won't be opening this year apparently. The Marine in Brora sometimes do stay and golf offers so might be worth checking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally somewhere with decent pubs/restaurants for at night. Dad likes the wee nine holer at Bonnar Bridge. Maybe not better but enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some moron in the gallery managed to 'inadvertently' kick Cantlay's ball there also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sign of Russell Knox in any of those fields as far as I could see. I thought he would have given qualification a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
