The Open Thread 2016

Firstly, he mostly doesn't need to and secondly, he's much more erratic with the driver - always has been.

You'd think a player of his standard would be able the nail his driver.
The man is a beast ,so I suppose a strong 3w is enough.
 
Poulter is dreadful at commentating.

Had to laugh when he bigged up Luke Donald as one of the greatest exponents of the short game then Looooook proceeds to duff an easy pitch.

Sky coverage overall is pretty good though, big bonus not having Alliss.
 
I don't bet on any sporting events and here's why.

My mates were talking about who they were going to have a flutter on the other day and I decided that Shane Lowry was the man in form.

He's done the equivalent of coming first in three races behind the one he actually was running in. :mad:

Golf is hard to bet on,I like to have a few small interest bets.
I've noticed some on here like to post their bets AFTER they've won 🤔

I disagree he gives a good insight imo.
He called 6 under for the first 6 holes this morning and I believe he was close with 5.
Paul McGinley also called a 64 again not a million miles away.
 
Micklesons round was superb, the bit that made me chuckle was how he said he has finished playing and he feels bad, but at the same time has just posted 8 under and should be really happy.

That's why I love this game and we can all relate to him, who hasn't had a great round and felt it could've been better.

Bit like posts on here when people post a 3 or 4 under handicap, but make sure we know it included a 3 putt or 2 or someone has 40+ points in a Stableford and mentions the blob. 😃

Obviously he is light years from us, but nice to know the game affects us all the same, regardless of level.
 
Boss day with the GM Boys, they're all good lads though they were supping white wine......
