Spraying metal has been around for years to be fair. We’d occasionally get the shafts repaired in that manner on the textile machines I used to work on ‘when ar worra lad’. Nothing worse than a wobbly licker-in or a bouncy stripper…. :ROFLMAO:

There is a video somewhere explaining the reasoning behind lining up the dimples. It sounds like complete nonsense to me, but BDC does believe in it. You have to admire his application to his pursuit of achieving great golf scores

He said they’ve never made an offer to Rory, but if he wanted to sit down and talk to the people at LIV he’d be welcome to do so. I’m guessing you can’t see the link by clicking on it?

What will Aberg's be, Wyndham, Dunlap - the guy's that have actually kept the PGAT semi interesting this year?

I’ve gone a bit ozzy with my picks for the fantasy team this week - suspect I’m not alone. There’ll be a prize for 1st place this week. An old golf shoe and a can of Fosters so the winner can do their own shoe-ey to celebrate. 😂

On Rory

There’s loads of content now coming out from Adelaide as the press conferences start rolling. Great to see a commissioner of a tour out there taking open questions and answering them comprehensively 👍

Cam has obviously withdrawn from a LIV event this year which will have affected his ranking in those standings. He's also had a 41st on a course that he probably doesn't favour, given he was 25th there last year (Jeddah). Be interesting to see how he goes this week, I'd expect him to be...

The ‘Boomers won’t like it… :ROFLMAO:

And yet it’s more accurate than the official one that costs £350,000 a year to run.

I'm not sure Hovland deserves to be in there on current form (but that's over a short period rather than the two years the OWGR is using) I'd take Cantlay out possibly Harman. Rory isn't number two either - I'd have to go with Wyndham there. BDC, Cam Smith and Niemann would all be contenders...

Looks like he did make a birdie eventually as well - outside the edit of the You Tube vid. (y)

Even though I'm a big critic of the OWGR, they do currently have the top 1 places in the correct order - it's just the other 8690 that are wrong.

I’d imagine it’s the last thing the tv companies wanted. There’s already a lot of pressure on them to maintain their position in a rapidly changing digital market. The event has effectively fizzled out - a signature event at that. An earlier start was the only option, and they decided to...
