KBS comp ?

Looks like McIlroys Other Half has either got a bright red wig on or has dyed her red bright red !!

Great to see Jack, Arnie and Player out there, they all shouted fore when Jack fired one into the crowd, shame the young fellas dont follow suit...

Was lucky enough to meet Jack at Wimbledon two years ago

Very pleasant man and willing to chat away with people

Waited 51 weeks for today. Love the par 3 comp and seeing some of the greats of the game.
Getting very excited about tomorrow.

Is it just me that gets more excited by The Open ?

The Open is the Ultimate 'Major' by a country mile:thup:

 

[Pin-seeker]

No disrespect to them,but I got bored watching Nicklaus,Palmer & Player knocking it around the par3. It's nice to see for a couple of holes.

If I was ever going to win one major I'd want it to be The Open, but there's definitely something magical about the build up to The Masters!

You see, that's what leaves me cold...
Too much hype
Yes it's the first Major of the Season but the build-up makes it seem like it's the first time it's ever happened.
I suppose it's the US influence on it...
Either way I just want the action to start!

Anyone got a spare SkyGo login they can PM me?:cheers:

For me they get it just right, every year I say it's not a real major it's just an invitational at a very exclusive club that chances are I'm never going to get near, but then pictures start appearing (on here for example) and it's turns into "game on!"

Yep agree

I am excited about the masters but mainly because it's a major and not because it's the Masters

It's at a club that 99% of us can never play , it feels like a special boys only invite as opposed to a major

It's great when it gets going but the fawning over it is a bit ott

Give me the Open every day

The Open is THE major but The Masters is the first in the calendar year and of course the same venue adds to its appeal.

Is it bad form to say how hard to like Gary Player is??!! Kind of wished he'd trip on his face as he jogged down the steps leaving Arnold struggling in his wake! Oopsie...

Player has always been the least likeable of the three of them

I was going to google their playing record as he doesn't even seem to belong with them, but that's probably because I've never cheered him on so banished his winning moments from my memory!

Great to see Jack using blades at the par 3 event, even if he did only pull the pw and 9 out......
Major order for me is;
The Open Championship
The Masters
US Open
USPGA

Would I be in the minority for quite enjoying Montys stints in the studio?

In the minority, but not alone. I think he gives some good insights and is not afraid to speak his mind. I'm not a big fan of Monty the man, but as a pundit I think he adds significant value.

9 majors?

I like him!

Me too, he seems like a very nice chap!

 

[Stuey01]

Player is an "interesting" character. He keeps himself in great shape, the man is 78 years old, it's impressive. But he doesn't half go on about it.
He isn't as natural with the crowd as Jack and Arnie, so suffers by comparison when out in a 3 ball with them.

 

[FairwayDodger]

No disrespect to them,but I got bored watching Nicklaus,Palmer & Player knocking it around the par3. It's nice to see for a couple of holes.

Real feelings of mortality watching them, especially Arnie. Fair play to him but it must be hard going from the greatest golfer in the world to barely able to knock it round a par 3 course but he's still out there in the full glare of the media.

I did enjoy the banter between the three of them. Jack trying to goad Arnie into hitting a longer club so he could reach the green and Arnie countering with the fact they all go the same distance for him....
