Does anyone know how he got into the PGA? He's 90-something in the world now. Delighted he's in the field but just not sure how it happened. Invite, maybe? Top 100 in the OWGR get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to the criteria on the wikipedia entry which state that it's only 2021 Ryder Cuppers who make it through being Top 100. That said, he appears to be saying he is in, so all good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any truth in the rumour that she wasn't allowed to complete the full round because the gents' Tuesday morning club complained about her taking their time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Not sure how long the course was playing. It's 7075 from the tips but I doubt they were playing those. There's tees at 6500 to 6700 so probably those ones. She shot a +9 front half and a +4 back 9 for 13 over so the dream is over for this year at least. Will still be the youngest ever if she manages to make it next year though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk off the course. I understand that might affect your chances in a competition but just inform the club officials why you stopped playing. Not worth enduring 18 seconds in the company of twats like that never mind 18 holes. If this is how they behave in public think how they must react in their workplace or even worse in their own homes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 5&4 win in the 2nd round (I got 1st round bye) of our handicap singles yesterday. Played steady enough but was massively helped by my opponent being simply atrocious on the greens. Some of the worst putting Iv ever seen. Was 5up at the turn then pitched in from 40 yards out on 10 to go 6up and put the dagger into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Making them hole short putts that are getting ever closer to the hole is a good one as well. If they haven’t already exploded, that should put them over the top 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand them 3 and 4 footers early doors then just look blankly back at them when they are standing over a 2 footer waiting for the nod. Nope.
