Scottish Open

Weather shocking here today, so I've been watching on TV since about 11am. My eyes are starting to hurt!

Nice one Nicholas

Hope Rory doesn't win, will ruin his chances for next week!

What's it like as a viewing course @KenL ? We're talking about going and watching next year.

There are a lot of good spots. I stood for a bit at the green of a par 5 where quite a few of the balls came over the back. Was so close to the action. Great grandstand too behind the green of the shortest par 3.
Definitely recommend going on day 1 as it wasn't too busy.

I was there last year, haven't gone this time. Okay, not great. Last year they roped off lots of the areas behind the tee boxes. That was really poor. Hopefully they've changed that this time as that is the view you often want.

@KenL may be more positive about it so see what he says.

I would say, it's well run, easy to park etc. I just didn't warm to it.

Jesus what's he doing?

The course looks lovely, as do many north of the border…been trying to persuade my missus that we should move up the but she’s not having it!

Missing putts to give others a chance.

Missing putts to give others a chance.

That's what I was hoping for. Don't want him winning this week!

I hear they take a Gwent County Card after 3pm on Wednesdays!

And put your crisps in a bowl like Ormskirk

And put your crisps in a bowl like Ormskirk

Never forget the experience I had at an Edinburgh club about 25 years ago.
Ordered crisps.
Bartender "I'll just get a basket"
Me "don't worry, just give me the bag"
BT "sorry sir, you must have them in a basket"
Me "OK then"
But, when I saw the state of the basket, a forensic scientists dream, I told them to keep their crisps. What a farce.

 

[Barking_Mad]

If I had £1 for every time a player left a putt short today I'd be quite well off!

With the winds they have probably not cut the greens much, or at all.

No, they've not cut them, balls still moving, Hatton just chunked his when it apparently moved on the fairway. Even the usually calm Scheffler getting wound up by leaving his putts short.

 

[KenL]

Hatton is just a child.
Can't stand him.

His golf is pretty impressive in this wind.

Edit
He then misses a two footer.

I buzz off him when he throws those tantrums

Not sure I'd want to play with him too often, but I find him hilarious to watch.

Jesus Christ, what a shot from Bob. Unbelievable.
