The Actual Golf On Liv Golf Thread

It’s under 2 years. So not that long!

Yeah, he might as well drop out of LIV now and start preparing properly - change his long irons for hybrids. Get one of those ball-grabbers fixed to the end of his putter. Stick to beating Rick Shiels and Jimmy Bullard on YouTube to keep himself fresh.

Worth noting the contracts of Poulter and Westwood are up at the end of 2025. (Pretty sure im right on that)

Why would you renew them ?

Like Bubba has said he see's his role shortly going from Team Captain to Team Owner and will step down from the playing ranks.
I suggest Westwood considers doing the same thing as he will be 52 when his contract expires unless he has turned his form around significantly

Did he even manage to beat Bullard when they played together?

You think he can get back up to that level?

I can't remember actually.. I just recall they only played about 3 or 4 holes so it wasn't a proper match as such.

The Hong Kong course is only 6700y long which is incredibly short for the Pros.

Surprised to learn that the likes of Padraig Harrington,Rory, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose have all won at this venue in the past.

I don’t remember the scores, but do remember the face on them both….they looked very sour

Par 70.
If they cut some steady pin positions we’ll probably be on 59 watch I’d imagine.

Surprised that 2 former world no1’s, a 3 time major winner and Poulter have won somewhere?

You could have been kinder to Poulter here

'Ryder Cup legend' perhaps?

For somebody called the postman, his 'service' has declined at the same rate as Royal Mail. Although to be fair to Poulter, he has delivered on some Sundays at least.

No Surprised a 6700y golf course had hosted multiple pro events in the past.

Its quite refreshing though

The course looks quite tight, so the scores might not be that low.

I believe TPC River Highlands and Pebble Beach are both sub 7k yds.

And Kapalua Plantation course is 7,596 yards, yet one of the easiest layouts on the PGA Tour. I guess length alone isn't everything.

19 under after 4 rounds in last years Hong Kong Open took the win. They can clearly make the course play difficult despite its relatively short length.

And Valderama according to Jon Rahm's press conference today

Hopefully we’ll see some competitive and entertaining golf. It might also help shatter the obsession with rolling the ball back
