dundeefc1783 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Perfect example of how St Andrews is nonsense and a myth. The road hole bunker is just a bunker. There's nothing special about it. Not particularly difficult, many harder greenside bunkers in that course (left of 11 the hardest) and on every decent links course. It's just completely unremarkable. Slightly small to a small target and you land on a downslope. Probably a thousand more difficult greenside bunkers in Scotland. Of course I would as the course doesn't merit it. St Andrews will be busy for the next 200 years if it never hosts another Open. No damage at all to the economy. And btw they actually lose money to host these things anyway. The course has been closed the last three and a half weeks. How much money you think they're making then?Lose money. Absolute shite they are fucking raking in millions as is the local economy. I don't know much about golf courses and golf course design but I do know that this event makes an absolute fucking shitload of money for all involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Looks chilly out there! That’s a nice wee pin placement on 1 as well. Let’s see if anyone is brave enough to fire at that one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 An irregular voyeur of this thread, I do quite enjoy it when I dip in and catch up. I also reckon I quite like a bit of argument, however contrarian it may sometimes seem. However, a special mention to @HalfCutNinja, after however many years on the board, you’re the one that’s finally popped my cherry on finding out how to activate the ignore function. Those that continue to debate with you, I admire their resilience. Enjoy The Open everyone. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Poulter getting probably the first ever boos at Open Championship. Judging by his tee shot he's obviously rattled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 DeChambeau putting like a 20 handicapper. Hit an awful birdie putt on 1, and misses a 3 footer on 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_binos Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Watching the coverage this morning thinking what a great bunch of guys Beem, Dougherty and Howell are. Could listen to them all day. Very impressed with the coverage this year. Coltart also a brilliant guy. Every year at Scottish Open when I was a kid he’d give away all his golf balls, tees, towels and sign lots of autographs after each round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m struggling to watch any of it at work Yeah, the Japanese lad Rikuya Hoshino. Coltart found out Rose had withdrawn when Hoshino was announced on the tee! I always like to see the amateurs do well, but Barclay Brown's hat makes me want to punch him in the face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the boys name though. Alex Noren was the first name on standby allegedly and was in St Andrews on Tuesday but decided to head off to the States for the Barracuda - he’ll be devastated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
