None of the leaders are out yet and this is not a major.
Is it not on the red button?

Nope. Actually on at 2.30 on sky sports+ but no doubt first half hour will be studio chat and little shown golf.
Why not just have both on and provide a real choice. I would rather watch the men play than the ladies.

Fair enough, maybe message Sky?

I’m more irritated that there is cricket on instead of golf. So dull.

It’s been on since 10.00 on 508 on Virginmedia. It’s on until 20.00 - 10 hours of live coverage seems pretty good to me (and significantly more than the Ladies Major if that is your irritation).

Commentators who say there is a stiff breeze!
Rory got on the green into said stiff breeze on a 600 yard par 5 with driver, 5 iron.
I’d be delighted with this weather when playing right on the coast.

Yes we do have tee times
One of the problems is that with our 9 hole course players beginning and players continuing to play the 1st as their 10th hole have to alternate.
Whilst we were waiting on the 1st (from about 10am nobody came from the 9th until just before it was our turn to play the 1st so we had to let them go in front of us. Probably showed a little a bit about how slow they must have been because the time allowed for the front 9 is 1hr 40 and our tee time was 10.24.
Our starter this morning must have become frazzled in the heat. As we played the hole adjacent to the 3rd, I saw a 2-ball on the green, a solo player in the fairway, and a 2-ball on the tee. At 9.45am.
Pace of play has been an issue for a while, and it simply can’t be helped by having solo golfers being allowed out in the middle of a packed tee sheet. There was a time when we didn’t allow 2-balls after 8am at the weekend, and we’ve been repeatedly told of late that small groups will be asked to join up to keep things moving.
It’s all words.

Driving our 330 yard downhill par 4 and 3 jabbing it. 
. It’s really well protected at the front with bunkers so you have to hit a dead straight tee shot. A birdie would have got me back to 2 over.
A few days off now before playing for the county seniors at Minehead on Wednesday and Thursday.

Up early this morning and drove to the course I’m a practice member at, to use the grass range - one part was closed and the other was setup for kids group lessons, which then didn’t start for another 90 mins.

Especially bad on the green, a small area where everyone goes and picks up their ball.

Playing in beautiful weather, hitting my driver well and then fatting just about every iron shot. Even more irritating is that I rarely fat them, bad iron shot is usually a thin.
