The Indian Open is a fascinating watch. Such a difficult course to play - that 17th hole! Good to see Manassero on the up after years in the wilderness.

For some reason we decided to record the Hero Indian Open today and watched it tonight.
What a refreshing bit of Pro Golf, an odd quirky, tough course which makes a fascinating watch. Tight narrow fairways, with thick reedy rough just off the fairway, OB everywhere, loads of water, island greens and rocky outcrops all over the place. Extremely odd bunkers though.
Really tested the nerve and skill of the players who, though most had doubles somewhere, scored unbelievably well - making you really appreciate their skills.
A great watch, the polar opposite of traditional resort courses and bomb and gouge.
Great win by Nakajima who looks a real specimen, 4 wins on the Japanese tour and 87 weeks as world amateur No1 - some talent.
Odd how sometimes these random far flung events just grab your interest, great to see something out of the ordinary.

What a fascinating & exciting final day on the PGA Tour last night! Seven players all with a chance to win coming down the 18th. Finally ended up with a first time winner. Great watch, as was the India tournament earlier.

Nelly Korda looks to have found her old form over the last few weeks. 3 wins on the bounce is impressive.

Maybe the top ET guys. I suspect the bulk of the field still have mortgages to pay though

Rubbish. If players want breaks, they just don't enter tournaments.
The truth is that recent tour leadership has monumentally failed in retaining sponsors and attracting new ones (most significant new deals have come courtesy of the PGA Tour - Genesis, Horizon/Amgen, etc.), resulting in the loss of tournaments. And now the Asian Tour is expanding into the European Tour markets.
Hopefully new leadership will manage to reverse the decline.

Picked my team.
Tried to put some science behind it with being a LONG golf course.
No Majesticks for the record.

Shaping up to be a great weekend of golf with a lot of the big names at the top or within striking distance.
Great round from Brooks considering his 1st hole was so bad.
