Mark Connolly Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 A lot of decent players would probably bite your hand off for a 92 round Carnoustie. Had only my second round of the week today due to the weather. My opinion that it is a stupid game has not changed, given I hit the same number of fairways and 1 more green, in worse conditions, but was 15 shots better off. Stupid, frustrating, massively enjoyable game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Glad you enjoyed it. It really is a special place to play. Not sure what you play off but sounds like you played some decent stuff. Well done.Without having a membership anywhere I don’t have an official handicap but using the online tools/YouTube videos I think I’m playing of 18 (17.8 ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I wonder if there are any players on tour who don't think that Bryson is a fud. Adam Scott also had a wee dig after playing with him yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Scott was right tbf, he was making the point that they have hyped it as being unreal distance. The big boys have always been able to get one or two out there, the difference with DeChambeau is that he is hitting the majority that distance, and taking his average up a ridiculous amount. I don't think it was a direct dig at DeChambeau. That doesn't necessarily mean Scott doesn't think he is a fud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Without having a membership anywhere I don’t have an official handicap but using the online tools/YouTube videos I think I’m playing of 18 (17.8 )That’s very decent golfing. More importantly you’ve clearly really enjoyed the day. I’m due to be playing Moray New, Moray Old and Nairn Dunbar next week. Haven’t played any of them previously. We’ve got a combined ticket for Moray Old and Nairn Dunbar for £100 pp and previous to that a 4 ball on Moray New for £20 per player. Really good value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Wentworth golf course on fire! A wildfire has spread onto the course and the woman’s tournament has been suspended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Apart from the fact he's generating a huge amount of torque, the body and arm position DeChambeau adopts for everything just looks really rigid and uncomfortable. It obviously works for him, but there's no way I could be arsed with that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it looks awful though. Every shot I see him hit I’m willing the ball to find trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When guys used to take the "Tiger line" over trees or whatever, you were willing the ball to get there because it was so unusual and exciting. With him, becuase it seems inevitable, you find yourself hoping it just won't get there. And also because he's a dick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Delighted to see Spieth made the cut, the footage of him slogging his guts out on the range the other night hours after his round was gut wrenching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Costly mistake by Cameron Tringale who waa DQ'd for signing fir the wrong score. He would have made the cut on +1 had he not ballsed it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 MacIntye paired with Billy Horschel and tees off at 7 pm, hopefully we get to see some of his round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
