Niall Shiels Donegan, son of Lloyd Cole's former bass player Lawrence, was T1 with a 67 at Frilford Heath. If you've never read Lawrence Donegan's book '4 Iron In The Soul', it is well worth seeking out. Mostly about the highs & lows caddying on the European Tour (mostly for Ross Drummond), long before the days when caddies stayed in hotels or drove Winnebagos. Mucho recommendos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read it multiple times but have now misplaced it. The South American caddies seemed like a fine bunch of lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 21 hours ago, lichtie23 said: Fellow YouTuber Peter Finch also had a horror show. 12+ at Hesketh Felt really bad for Finch, i love his content, great guy, worked so hard on his game and has just had a complete mare. He showed at the Myrtle Beach qualifier that he can shoot a decent score, but his mental game has just gone to ratshit yesterday and he’s not recovered from bad shots. He has the game on his best days but lacks the consistency. Still for me the better golf swing of all the youtuber golfers (discounting Bryant bros). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that they had him as one of the golfers they talk to mid way through his round last week on course and he was doing a good job of charming them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I saw that and Bob's first comment on his 'Walk & Talk' was "I hope you've got the subtitles ready !" He seems quite confident and easy going in front of the media although I'm sure he's feckin' sick and tired of being asked how much his old man got for caddying at the Canadian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was +1 with half a dozen holes left when I last checked so that's a decent outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent finish, but with 74 players at -2 or better they'll need to find some birdies tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Kin ye hear me pantin?" after traipsing up a huge hill was quite amusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Pretty depressed at present as unable to play golf. Injured my knee and was really srtuggling to walk the past three days - not sure how it happened but did have a wee bit of puffiness after a run in Munich a couple of weeks ago. Nightmare timing as got a good few competitions in July and at this stage no idea if I can play in them. Typically I play around 25-30 rounds in July as take time off work to play in a couple of four day Opens. Something that really pisses me off is clubs who have full fields and even two weeks before due to play state that they will not offer a refund (looking at you Nairn) If I withdraw they will easily fill my space and get the money. Slight improvement when I got up this morning but definitely going to give golf a miss for next ten days or so and see how it improves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) Par 5 on 17 which should provide a birdie chance and he’s driven well on 16. Edited June 28 by PB1994 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Would imagine Bob takes next week off and heads home for a break before the Scottish Open and The Open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorOnopko Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Bit disappointing last night, Bob looked a wee bit out of sorts in the hour or so I watched, but hey ho. The debut PGA win is in the bag and he can head home and prep for two huge weeks in Scotland. Quite enjoyed this, definitely got me even more excited for the Open. Iona's bunker play is very impressive: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iona's bunker play is very impressive: Been watching quite a few of her videos at break times at work. Really good interviews with Adam Scott, former Scotland rugby skipper Stuart McInally and Butch Harmon among others. Her latest one was with Jamie Dornan on the isle of Iona where the course is mainly maintained by the sheep.
