Is this the worst ever?

[HawkeyeMS]

Stuart Fee has hust followed yesterdays round of +15 with an almost equally as bad +14 in Abu Dhabi making a rather unbelievable +29 after two rounds. Can't say I've ever hear of him before but the phrase "Out of his depth" springs to mind

 

[fundy]

he was the only local qualifier to the tournament, lads clearly had a shocker

 

[Alex1975]

Ouch!!!

 

[pbrown7582]

maybe he'll qualify for an annual handicap review upwards?

 

[StrangelyBrown]

I doubt many of us would break 100 around that course.

No, but for someone qualifying for the event, would you not expect slightly better?

 

[fundy]

Seems he got in by shooting a 75

5 December 2012 – Abu Dhabi, UAE: Stuart Fee, the 34-year old club professional from Jebel Ali Golf Resort, today qualified for the 2012 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.

Stuart won with a round of 75, two shots clear of Phil Waine and Paul Hubner. He was the sole qualifier from the field of 29 players at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship UAEPGA Professional Qualifying Event.

Probably nerves playing with all the big names didn't help either.

True

But we've all had days where we couldn't hit a cows backside with a banjo

Long way from the worst ever. Cut the guy a bit of slack - there aren't many pros out in this part of the world!

I believe three-time tour-winner Pablo Martin closed with a 90 last week, and Bernhard Langer's son (admittedly not a pro) turned in a less-than-impressive 98, 91 in the 2007 KLM Open for a 49-over two-round tally, some 59 shots behind halfway leader David Carter

Are you out there getting a nice tan Jezz ?

Poor guy - must be gutted and a tad embarrassed...

Golfer's tan coming on a treat the last couple of days when we've been doing some instruction shooting at Saadiyat Beach.

Even ventured onto the beach today, but not to chill and go for a dip - rather to shoot an interesting instruction video demonstrating the similarities in the leg action for skimming a stone and swinging a golf club!

Was that using the old or new stone skimming flight laws?

Apparently many of the world's finest professional stone skimmers are now moving towards the 'stack and tilt' approach...

 

[CMAC]

stack and plop I think you'll find

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Give the guy some credit. Would have been easy to withdraw yesterday with some lame excuse but he had the balls to go out again today and he's shot lower so the curve is going the right way. Seriously though its been set up as a tough test for these guys hence the lack of low numbers (+2 made the cut?) and so if you've never been in that company on a tough course then naturally you'll struggle. Heck of an experience for the guy though

 

[The19thHole]

I wonder how I would fair over there as a 17Hc.

LOL... Don't YOU start!!!!

 

[richart]

Don't want to start an argument, but stone skimming does not favour Stack and Tilt. You have to get your weight on the back foot, and drive onto your front one.
