doulikefish Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Remember the dell match play starts on a Weds and is live on 1430 on sky only thing I'm looking out for is Rickie Fowler to make the quarters to get in the masters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a new caddy, Paul Tesori who was on Webb Simpson's bag for his US Open win. Could be a big boost for Young's major chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Played my best golf ever, by quite a distance, this afternoon. Course on winter tees so playing a bit short - but only really turning one of the par fives into a long par four and everything else just 5-20 yards shorter than usual at the most. My handicap at the end of last season was 22.4, albeit I hadn’t put a card in since about July. Round the par 71 course today in 79. 56% GIR and I think I missed one fairway with the driver the whole round. Aim for this season is to get the handicap down to between 15 and 18. Forget Rory’s driver, this was the result of my 177 yard hybrid on the 7th 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing in a fourball, team matchplay so didn't really keep my score but I was driving the ball well and crucially getting good length on my longer irons which is unusual for me. Putting was calamitous mostly but drained a 10 footer for a par on the last to half the match. That's real pressure. Rory wouldn't manage that IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory wouldn't manage that IMO My one real bad tee shot of the day was on the third when I caught up with a group of seven lads playing a scramble on a guy’s stag. Far too big an audience watching, way too much pressure and I topped it into a bunker Just looked at my scorecard and I played the last 12 holes in +1, which is just ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I know they’re getting rid of the matchplay but if they weren’t… how could they make it better? Find the groups quite hard to follow. The more outlandish the idea, the better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 The thing that impresses me most with this is that you don't try shit like that unless you have practiced it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the groups quite hard to follow. The more outlandish the idea, the better I don't actually mind the groups part tbh, but they could scrap them and play it over 4 days. Make the first two rounds strokeplay with the top 16 qualifying for the knockout Matchplay stages? I think it's the weekend that is causing it to be scrapped though, especially on Sunday when they have hardly any golf to show.

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Decent line ups for the semi finals with Scheffler V Burns and McIlroy v Young. The highlight of yesterday was Young stiffing it to within an inch of a hole in one.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
