Seen 3 guys go OB on the first. They've all reloaded and not one of them has said anything to their PP's. Do they not need to declare?

Declare what? Their 1st tee shots were all OOB so the 2nd balls are not provisionals.
Is it cold down there in Englandshire?
its chucking down here at the moment, but far too warm for a woolly hat and puffer jacket.
just switched it on and every one is dressed like its winter!!!!

Maybe because they ahve loads f folk around who relay the state of their balls definitely being OOB. I am so used to 'maybe being OOB' that I always declare?
These pro's don't know they're born:lol:

Don't want to go off topic but if you find your first ball OOB you have to walk back, a provisional is no use to you.

So if I hit a provo off the tee after my original ball is potentially OOB, then find the original OOB, I disregard the provo and have to walk back to play off the tee again?

Apologies, I'm talking rubbish.

I'm probably in the minority here but, in a way, I liken 72 hole stroke play events, yes even Majors, to a 5k/10/k race..
Early doors there's stuff going on but it's not that interesting, halfway and there's a bit more to talk about but there is other stuff going on...
Last 3 laps ( final round) - now it's getting my attention and I'm glued to it.
For me, it really does all start on the Sunday..

Be hilarious if Willett won. GolfWRX would implode with the amount of toss they've been talking about him on there.

Does anyone know what time coverage starts on the opens website?

O Meara +9 after seven holes, forum form there.
Got to wonder if it's a bit selfish to take a spot once you're his age, he won 19 years ago if my recollection is right and was old (for a pro golfer) then and has played the Open likely 30 times. Decent links players like G McDowell are missing out.

No need for it really. I can keep up with the scores on Thursday and Friday just by checking the leaderboard. Saturday and Sunday is the crunch time.
That said I have a lot on on Sunday.. didn't really think that through.

I think this is the last time he's playing The Open, where he won it - benefit of the doubt.
GMac ?
Didn't qualify - good links players not, he didn't make the cut.
There are qualification criteria. Past Champions up to 60? get in..?
Up to others to get into them top 50 or qualify through other routes..

Deservedly, he has had what, 2 top 10 finishes world wide in a year?

At least they cap it at 60 (although I'm sure I read he made the cut last year, so i doubt he's taken a spot from anyone)

Point taken but he's always dangerous on a British/Irish links course. Would've picked him e/w if he was there.
