Professional Golf 2024 & 2025

[Imurg]

Bit surprised with the recent elevation of the seniors majors there isn’t more talk about the Seniors Open

Anyway , solid win for KJ Choi - becomes the first Korean winner of a senior major - very good back 9

Does it have an asterisk by it....

 

[Imurg]

Good stretch after the turn for KJ...Eagle/birdie put him well up.
Good to see Broady finish well...he was using a walking stick all week due to bad arthritis in an ankle...

Well it might have a “double asterisk”

Fantasy League update.

Strong week again for Bennys Ballers who slightly closed the gap on LIVin on a prayer in the overall standings.

Couple og weeks wait until the next event at Greenbrier - which provided some great scenes last year. Great

Bloody Horsfield screwed me over. I heard JCB was what he considers his 'home course' in the UK so I threw him in. +5 on the Sunday! Muppet!

Thought his performance was exceptional given his mobility issues. Must have been in a lot of pain

Anybody watching the Olympic golf?

Nope. Given it is 4 days of stroke play, like any normal event, does it also have a cut?

I think I'd have liked to see something different. Like pairs better ball stroke play or something of that nature.

I'm watching the full day's play on Discovery Plus.

No cut.

Wyndham Clark is +4 after 6 holes. He should never have been chosen for this based on recent form.

He wasn't chosen.....he qualified....

 

[SatchFan]

Best I can do is a live leaderboard. Not wasting my money on Discovery+.

Either way - gash golf

When golf got accepted back in it was only for 2 Games to see if it ‘works’ So it makes sense to use the most popular comp format because logic will say that’s the format with the best chance of golf succeeding in that goal to continue as an Olympic event
3rd games now & I’ve no idea of its medium to long term olympic status but assuming its now ‘back’ then I agree, down the line I’d like to see pairs (& mixed) teams introduced on top of the individual medals

Must admit it is a bit funny having golf in the Olympics. In most proper Olympic sports you would say the gold medal winner is probably the best in the world, or close to it. e.g. when Bolt won the 100m he was unquestionably the fastest person in the world, and so on. But the golf winner could literally be anyone and you wouldn't necessarily say the same thing.

I don't pay extra for it, Sky give it to their customers for free.

Nice little bonus. I'm on Virgin Media with Sky Sports added on but no Olympics. Never mind, it's a nice sunny day and I shouldn't be indoors watching TV.
