The Actual Golf On Liv Golf Thread

[Deleted member 15344]

The vast majority of pro’s even some top pro’s, like Colin Montgomerie, never win a major. I was well impressed with Kim when he was at his best, and disappointed he got injured.

Yeah after 2008 he looked like he would be a star , his swing was very nice and smooth bit like Louis O , he had some great rounds in the majors but couldn’t do it for 4 rounds - his potential was high but didn’t seem to get over the line in the big one

Kim wouldn't be the first player to have shown absolute potential and threaten to be a world beater and not fulfil their potential. My thought is his ship has sailed in terms of any aspirations to be a top, top player and certainly a major winner (subject to even playing).

Down on Tiger the other week yet hyping up Kim fair play fella

Remember though I only started playing golf in 2021.

The only tiger I have seen is post car crash. Of course when I go on you tube I can see what an amazing player he was but I don't identify with it because the guy I see now is a shadow of that player.

I hadn't even heard of Kim before this Liv comeback thing so had to go and find stuff about him and when I did I found multiple videos of Pros saying he was one of the best young talents before injuries struck him down and then just disappeared.

Will he also be a shadow of his former self?
Guess we will know by the end of the season.

The amount of AK golf media coverage and social media chatter has kept Liv in the spotlight for an event that is one of Livs weaker events in its schedule

AK
Bogey on his 1st hole

I’m watching at my desk. There are an awful lot of breaks from actual golf coverage.
Come on lads show us more golf. This is normally the complaint on sky golf coverage.

DP World Tour not even on Sky this week for some reason, so great to watch some golf at this time of day. Looking at the course, there could be some seriously low scores today.

AK is Defo nervous and a little rusty.
Understandable on both fronts

Hopefully settle into the round

Can Lefty finally contend in a Liv event.
Best start I can remember him having

Oooofff AK is having a baptism of fire

Had a full top and a shank.

Cant imagine having not played for 12 years and now having to perform in the spotlight with the golfing world taking an interest.

You do realise he hasn't just stoppled playing golf for the 12 years he has been away from the pro circuit? I am sure he has played some solid golf with mates and cash games.

That shank was puuuuuuure too

From what I have read i dont respectfully think that is the case, he apparently didnt even own any clubs for a large part of those 12 years.
With smart phones these days if he was playing golf you would think there would be footage leaked of this mythical creature back playing golf but he just totally disappeared off the grid, golf journalists couldnt track him down.

He has said that he is going to tell his story so I guess we will find out for sure then.

Just made his 1st birdie which im sure will make him feel better.

Full sideways socket rocket

Greg Norman has just said in the last couple of years his new wife wanted to start playing golf so he started playing with her.
Very different than a Pro event on TV obviously

Cant believe I dropped my boy Rambo from my fantasy team this week

Went with Brooks seeing he won the last 2 events here.

I picked Gooch based on Oklahoma being very windy - seems to be paying off so far...

I just heard Norman say he has been playing the past 12 years with amateurs and he told him to get out on the range with the pro's to get the feel of how they hit it.

I think it is good for AK to be back playing. However he won't be any good compared to the main guys on LIV

I picked both
