For the love of god, please play a different hole!!! Anyone else stuck with it?

They should just have a punch up now

They should have a 'chip off', nearest the pin is the winner.

We were shouting, "someone please hit it in the water!!!"

Go Charley, putter on fire, just go for it.

Great last round, couldn’t expect much more tbh.

Its times like this I hate that I gave up my satellite subscription (all it was used for was golf) but i'd have liked it for July

Spoiler: spoiler

Anyway leader at the Scottish is 4 under after 4, is it too soon for a 59 watch

 

[Dando]

it seems Rory has taken his putting stroke with him to Scotland

This has to be one of the easiest courses on tour.

I'm further down the coast but I suspect the weather is similar. Dry conditions, light breeze. Many links courses become benign at this point.

You may still be right but this doesn't help.

I'm going tomorrow with my son and grandson. 5 O'clock start and the weather is looking grim.

Thanks for the head up.
Also on their YouTube channel, so can be rewatched/watched this afternoon at your leisure.
The classy groups and lack of ads, plus the gentle progression through the whole course make it a guilty pleasure.
Plus, if I'm not mistaken, Tony Johnson is on comms, and he's a great listen imho.

Play events in the UK, big crowds. Need more of them!

Watched Rory this morning, looked like a super course, now I have some chores to do!

I went to watch last year, it was not that super in the flesh. Mere peasants can't get to play it anyway so don't worry that it can't go on your bucket list . (they did have some very lovely houses on site though )

You can get on... if you pay their asking price.

Agreed, there must be at least 6 courses within 20 miles that I'd rather play. I've still got G1 and Muirfield to go, if anyone's looking for a member/guest partner...

I'd have to ask the price. If you have to ask........ .

Anyway, after playing it recently I'd go a short distance away and join North Berwick instead. Smashing place, lovely course, they allow peasants on

Only country outside US where you get a decent crowd for golf.

But the big names hate playing in the UK. It's terrible for their tax burden.

Strategic Alliance week!

Homa, Fowler, Burns, Wyndham, Thomas, Horschel, Woodland, Schauffele, Theegala, Spieth, Cantlay and Scheffler all play the Scottish Open; with Guerrier, Cockerill, Danthorp, Sullivan, Aphibarnrat, De Jager, De Knappe, Portillo etc. all playing on the prestigious PGAT Barbasol Championship..... it does make the Scottish Open far more interesting but it is undoubtedly self-serving for the PGAT and their top ranked players.

Sullivan isn't badly placed, would love to see him win, very likeable guy, hopefully one of the DPWT players win and sets themselves up well for gaining membership next year.
