You probably won’t have heard this but three of the hardest holes on the course come in the last 4 hole stretch.

I didn’t realise that Harrington and McGinley won the World Cup here

Now some of the 'big names' have been through there they can start dishing out slow play penalties to the 'lesser' players ?

Ha yes.
To be fair I've been watching the featured holes for a bit and there's been a gaggle of players snapping it off the tee, so plenty of faffing about with crowds and rulings, plus a few recovery shots going in the water.

A few years ago now at the Irish open ar killarney. He was the big name and all the kids wanted his autograph. When he walked off 18 the kids went mad shouting at him and the way he spoke to them was like a headmaster. He brought them under control in an instant. Told them not to disturb the players playing the 18th and that he would see every last one of them if they behaved themselves. They all immediately fell quiet and he was true to his word.

The vocal minority in the US crowd as unbearable as ever here. The incessant attention seeking yells following shots has to stop, it’s making me want to turn it off. Even worse is the baffling reaction to missed putts, which sound as though they’re witnessing a plane crash.

Tringale has just had one
Was it a “ohhhhh my gaaaaaad noooooooo!!” moment? Ridiculous!

Played Bethpage Black off the backs of the day, not the full backs, with a caddie, 7 handicapper. Couldn't get onto some par 4's in two. Told to lay up by the caddie (correctly!) on a par 4 when I'd hit one of my best drives
. Driver on a par 3. Barely making the fairway on a couple of holes. Broke 100 but not with a lot to spare. They play a completely game and it's not one I have any desire to play again.

Am guessing it's the 10 on hole 16 for Tringale

I hate pros getting line of sight drops. BDC has just hit it into the long grass, but gets a nice drop because there is a tent between him and the green. That probably isn't really in his way.
So, he gets a nice drop into the fairway.
Pros should have to play it from wherever it lands. If they don't like it, take a penalty drop.

Orange County National was ours .Played Bethpage Black off the backs of the day, not the full backs, with a caddie, 7 handicapper. Couldn't get onto some par 4's in two. Told to lay up by the caddie (correctly!) on a par 4 when I'd hit one of my best drives
Early morning so it was soaking wet.
Not a good idea.
I played Birkdale a week after Baker Finch won the open, how he shot 29 around that front 9 I will never know.
What a course

Yes I agree the tent was there when he teed off .

Carnoustie 5 days after Lawrie won the Open; or Car-nasty as the press dubbed, and it was. How anyone shifted anything out of that rough defeated me, let alone with the finesse they did around the greens. They play a game with which I am not familiar.

Wow ?
Gareth Lord, after nearly being maimed by Van Rooyen, isn’t quite ready to shake his hand
Having just seen the incident I don't blame him. The guy went back for seconds. Absolute plank.
