2017 Open Championship

Out of interest, how many of a working age on here take days off to watch the Open from start to finish?

I don't but I wished that I had. 

No, but I've brought my iPad with Sky Go app to the office with me. Don't intend to get much work done today! :D

Would love to see Poults do well in this.

Nice to see the European Tour website is as up to date as usual.....
Showing Snedeker teeing off at 10.20......he's back home by now...
How difficult can it be?
 
On a narrow boat on the Kennet & Avon Canal with the fam.
Back home lunchtime Friday, so will catch some then,

but Saturday early doors off to snowdonia on Scout camp for a week, no signal there, so I doubt I'll even know the result until next Saturday :(

Bad timing
 
Working from home also today. Loving this, so good being able to settle in and watch a full days play. Can't wait to see how Rory and DJ tackle Birkdale later on.

I'm on holiday this week. Meant to be tackling the 101 things we need to get done in the new house but I am firmly settled on the couch now! Mrs FD knows the score but suspect I might be getting my ear bent before I'm too much older....

Can't render in the pouring rain and the van is in for it's MOT in an hour, so it's the settee and nibbles and a few beers later.....

Poults leads at the moment at -2 long way to go, but not seen him swing as good in a long time.

He was practising the other week behind us and he looked far more relaxed , prob as relaxed as I have ever seen him , certainly a lot more chatty with everyone around the club. He loves Links golf as well - especially Birkdale - I have him on an each way bet
 
Watching from the comfort of my armchair, car already taken for service/mot, but we're off to one of the few days a local private zoo park is open to the public - nice to see the white lions
 
First time in a number of years I can't watch whilst at work due to project being on fire. :(

Oops! Shouldn't even be here... ;)
 
I took advantage of a free Now TV day sports pass so am watching. Was surprised that as much as I love golf, I didn't know that Stenson won it last year.

you should rewatch the final round Stenson vs Mickelson

Some of the best golf in the open you will ever see
