peasy23 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 'European Tour, PGA Tour announce alliance' http://www.skysports.com/share/12143999Can't see this ending well for most European players, especially with Jay Monaghan getting a seat on the European Tour board and a stake in the media company. Looks more like a takeover than an alliance, and long term I can see it cutting down playing opportunities for the lower ranked European players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 SGU app now has the ability to show you your playing handicap on any course you put in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 SGU app now has the ability to show you your playing handicap on any course you put inIt took until yesterday for it to show I was a member of a club, with the club confirming weeks ago that I was definitely on all the stuff submitted to Scottish golf.Still a wee bit of a head scratcher that your course handicap doesn't equate exactly to the number of shots you get. Supposed we'll get used to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Bob MacIntyre and Scott Jamieson finish in a tie for 6th in South Africa. Calum Hill was best placed Scot going into the last round but had a poor front nine before recovering a bit and finishing in a tie for 13th. All sorts of carnage on the closing hole meant Christian Bezeidenhuit won by 4 shots in the end.

A birdie would have got him a playoff, but a triple bogey 8 saw him in a 4 way tie for second which would have cost him a few quid and ranking points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Cracking 6 under round of 65 for Russell Knox in the first round of the PGA event in Mexico. Still a few players to finish but currently leading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a few players to finish but currently leading. Excellent round. When I read your post, I went to look at the leaderboard expecting to see a less inspiring field but there's several top names in there. Hopefully he can sustain it. With Bob and Martin Laird winning, it's been a really good last few months for the Scottish lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Robert MacIntyre raced to the turn in 29 this morning, but came back in one over to sit 5 off the lead in T7th on 16 under. Howie and Warren are 14 under, with Gallacher and Forrest on 12 under. Final round tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a few players to finish but currently leading.2 under par 69 for Knox today. He’ll be irritated by what looks like a 3 putt to bogey the last but currently sitting 3rd just one shot behind the leaders. Hope he has a great weekend. He has a decent record in this event with top 3 finishes in 2015 and 2016. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 A closing 63 saw Grant Forrest finish as best placed Scot in Dubai, 6th place on his own on -21, 4 shits adrift of winner Antoine Rozner. Warren hit 67 to end up -19 (T8th), MacIntyre hit level par to finish T19th on 16 under, Howie was 14 under and Gallacher 13 under. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Syme lying tied 12th after 3 rounds of South African Open. A good finish tomorrow could still see him make the top 60 in the Race to Dubai rankings and thus make the field for the end of season event in Dubai. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatowner Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 We have been touring the North Island of New Zealand for the last 5 months, and have now played 101 rounds on 90 courses. [emoji7]The map shows you where we have been - Northlands first, then The Coromandel, around Hamilton, across to Taranaki, then down the west coast to Wellington where we have spent the last couple of weeks. Generally the rounds cost between NZ$20 to NZ$50 (£10 to £25)The quirkiest course so far was Rangatira that is on a number of descending levels and you catch a ski lift, after completing the 18th, to get back up to the clubhouse level. Special mention goes to Ngaruawahia near Hamilton, a delight to play from start to finish. I won the “furthest thrown club” award for my effort on the 5th at Manawatu (at least twice as far as my ball travelled) [emoji36]The most intimidating first tee award goes, hands down, to Te Marua - where a huge, straight drive is required just to get across the river. Mornington requires lungs of steel and legs like a cart horse to cope with all the ups and downs that it throws you. Most sheep on a course award goes to Taihape. Wainuiomata pick up an award just for its second hole - only 154m, but there’s one HUGE tree in the middle of the tight fairway that causes trouble for everybody. [emoji1] Best par 3 is the 12th at Taihape which reminded me of the old 17th hole at my home course in Kinghorn. Best par 4 - pick any one of many dog-leg holes at Waitomo.Best par 5 is the 13th at Wellsford with its humongous drop away. We have now caught the “Interislander” from Wellington on the North Island to Picton on the South Island. Up and at ‘em! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 That's Peter Allis died. I fully expect the BBC to give up on golf completely now. He should have chucked it years ago but nonetheless this is very sad news. Grew up listening to his soothing tone watching the Masters and Open on the Beeb. Hope the tour do something to mark his passing, it’s thoroughly deserved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
