148th Open Championship

Hes a saffer with some decent form on links courses before but been out of form of late really, was 800s on Betfair I know that much! There again JB Holmes was 1000 (and theres 3k bet on him at 1000!)
I'd be cashing that out tonight if I was him! No way he lasts the weekend.

He finished t12 at the masters. Was sitting pretty after the first 2 rounds but dropped back slightly on the last day
Strange, I don't remember him at all. Oh well. Maybe it's just because his name isn't as memorable as the other South Africans. :p
 
What odds was he? I've literally never heard of him.
i have him at 13s for a top 20.
He won in Qatar earlier in the year, which is breezy and has a sprinkling of good links players as past champions.
Ironically, there doesn't seem to be much wind at all as yet....
 
Had a full swing lesson. Wanted to look @ balance and rotation.

Pro was Zoé Allen from Lurgan GC. Very good 15 minutes, would recommend to anyone in the area looking for help.
 
He is struggling again with his back sadly. Shows how phenomenal his Master's win was. Golfing with a fused back!!

Incredible scenes.

Exactly this. He can't practice much any more and on stiff days will be hard work, was also cold there yesterday.

Was patently obvious yesterday when we were watching him. Impressed that he saw the round through.

His jet is quite nice though :)
 
Is the legendary Kelly's nightclub still over the road?

I had a couple of great weekends in their in my early 20's.
 
It is but its called Kellys Hotel and Golf complex.
The nightclub is still there but now called Lush.


Remember many years ago their being several rooms then at one point late on, it became one.

Yes it just all opened up. It was such a friendly place.

Had a couple of amazing trips to Portstewart and took in a few surrounding courses.
 
What a pile of drivel they are whittering on about on Radio 5 live.

More discussion on the state of Tiger's back and if he may stop playing any comp where it may be cool weather than on any actual golf.

Obviously the producer has no idea about golf!
