Golf Random Irritations

OWGR

Johnny Keefer rising to 51st a korn ferry tour player

Jon Rahm is 73rd

Marco Penge is 55th

Seems about right.

You can’t argue Rahms ranking he plays a Tour that doesn’t earn OGWR points and that’s his choice. The other one however doesn’t sit right that Korn Ferry tour is earning more points than DPWT , but just goes to show what was once a thriving European tour in its own right is now just another small feeder for PGAT and that’s sad.

Competitions played in handicap order which means an early start on a weekend.

Given the pace of play in the groups behind I'm quite happy to be in the first group out, unless there's a two-tee start, in which case my irritation is having an hour long wait on the 10th tee.

He only needs to get 50 and then he qualifies for the Masters.....and that is a JOKE.

That I completely agree with you on. Leon Ferry weighted above DPWT shows state of the game and rankings across tours

Believe the Prize Money is also bigger


IMO they should weight all National Opens higher

So it’s the 4 majors

Then National Opens ( have the players in the US )


Then all the other tour events are next

Open today at brancepeth .. they had done greens maintenance earlier this week and left about half a beach on the greens


I missed a 2 foot putt! Was my fault tbf left about an inch of sand on the face off last hole won’t ever do that again it must have went about 3 inches. Came off the face like I still had the headcover on

Also dropped my rangefinder but someone’s handed it in

Over the whole day?
The only comps we have that are seeded are the club champ qualifiers. But, even then you pick a time slot of about an hour.

Could have played in the afternoon starting at noon but then I feel the day is wasted. It is a big medal, two comps in one, handicap and scratch. I won both on the same day back in 1995 .

This begs the question that if the fairways are exactly the same length as the rough and you have E-3 Preferred Lies in place, can you prefer the lie of the ball on the entire course? It says 'cut to fairway height or less'.

What is the difference between cut and and uncut and does when it was cut make a difference? The fairway would have been cut to fairway height at some time the rough would have not.

Jon Rahm has a lifetime qualification for the Masters as a previous winner.

My golf generally

Gone from a single figure player to someone who is only just breaking 100 in just 3 years.

Past few games it seems that one bad shot is costing 2 or 3 extra shots.

Thank goodness for the WHS, or else my handicap would be totally ridiculous

Correction.....no longer life time.......otherwise Player would still be teeing it up for first two rounds.

Headline in the DP Spanish Open today says 'Penge opens up four hole lead'

I thought AI was supposed to make us more intelligent

I suspect it's making us more artificial

Patrick Reed!

My DPWT Fantasy League captain who has just dropped 6 shots in seven holes when I'm fighting for 1st place.

Player could still play, I believe. He doesn't because it would just be silly, his scoring would be embarrassing. Lyle, Woosnam, Faldo even Langer now have all said enoughs enough. They could, but they don't

If he was playing badly he could always do a few thousand star jumps and push ups just to show how fit he is, because he's obviously kept that a secret all his life!

He does push ups? Still? He should tell people about that

Bunker on the 14th had so little sand I could feel the base as soon as I stepped in, bunker on the 15th had so much sand I thought I was looking for the sea.

 

[mister v]
