Because of his height, Lamprecht has one of the strangest swings you will ever see. Obviously works for him though.

Who was it who coined the phrase about an octopus falling out of a high window ? Was that Alliss ?

ETA - Ryan Fox finishes +7. Expected better............................

Fox was 2 under through his first 5 holes too.

Remember during the add breaks to think of Peter Alliss telling us about the centenary of Eastern Mombasa Golf Club and his friends Jack and Victor Piblington

Wasn't Victor Piblington a retired Lt. Col. from the 1st Batt. Royal Calcutta Rifles ?

Swing speed 190 mph with his driver on the range the other day...them long levers generate some speed

Pretty sure it was Feherty describing Furyk's swing as "an octopus falling out of a tree"

They said in commentary he got it to 202mph on the range. 

That’s his ball speed, I think they said his club head speed sits around 140.

I think if his club head speed was pushing 200 we’d be looking at the 2nd coming of the Terminator!

Here’s the average stats for the PGA tour which show how much of a beast this lad is…

Aye, the old days of Alliss’ random interjections during ten hours of un-interrupted BBC Open Golf live coverage… I remember those days well, and kind of miss the auld duffer…..

’I received a letter this week from Nancy Blenkinsopp and all the lady members at Old Fartington Golf Club in Little Muddleton, a lovely stretch of golfing country. Their annual stableford and charity tray-bake sale takes place next week in aid of the Old Fartingdon juniors section. Why not go along and support Nancy and the ladies. A worthy cause…. Now, oh what a shot there from Neil Coles’.

Ah, the old days.
