Course looks brilliant. 

Hopefully in a good mood after today.

Scored in the high 80s, was rough as fuck. 

Had to play with another pair, so was a bit anxious at the start as I don't play with people I don't know too often.

Highly recommended it though if you're ever in Costa Blanca, bunkers and water hazards everywhere and the fairways are narrow as fuck.

Any drills to cure a driver slice? Really struggling the now with coming across the ball and hitting it way right.

Used to have a bad slice. 

There's a lot that can be the problem, for me it was having my leading foot too far behind the ball when I was standing over it if that makes sense. 

Ever since I've made sure the balls about an inch inside my leading foot, it's not been bad at all.

Best thing can do mate is pay for a lesson and get on track man.

Could be the most simple thing to your grip or stance, to swim have bring too steep, how you start downswing and if and wrist movement that opens the face l, could even be the club or shaft aren’t suited to your swing.

Best thing is to let a pro diagnose it.

Was 150 for the two of us, that's with the cart. 

The cart was pretty cool, told you yardage to the front, middle and back of the green. 

 

Good deal that, done  Vilamoura for past 5 years but the Ocianic Group have been bought out and the new owners are squeezing more people on the courses and jacking up prices. We’re going to Costa Del Sol next spring, the package is £180 cheaper than Portugal. Mate of mine raves about Costa Blanca and reckons the Alicante course is brilliant.

close your stance. the easiest way to do it is bringing your left foot and left shoulder forward  then your body position should mean the arc for your driver should start inside rather than outside the ball.

That's much simpler than how I tried to explain it. 

When I had a bad slice I'd always aim to the left to try compensate, only to make things even worse by striking right across the ball.

Tvtap is good and streams usually work fine without much buffering but doubt the picture quality would be good enough to watch golf on.

Not tried it for golf yet as I have sky but might try it tomorrow as a trial run

I never cash out but as Bradley started to spray it all over the 18th I gave in to guarantee a minimal profit!

Needless to say it has been my worst gambling decision to date! Who the fuck invented cash out. Would have won about £1386 haha!

Single @ 125/1

£11.00

Place new bet

You cashed out for £307.55

Keegan Bradley @ 125/1

Outright Winner

Going up to Drumoig this weekend, anyone played it?

24 going, Texas scramble tomorrow then individual Stableford on Sunday. Few drinks involved I would think.

My old man loved it when he played it a few years back as I say that’s a few years ago so no idea what it’s like now.

Yeah it’s a decent course. Beautiful hole around the turn with water either side. Good value too.

Madness!

With the upcoming 2018-19 PGA TOUR schedule reflecting previously announced, significant structural changes, PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan today unveiled further innovations that elevate the entire FedExCup season – from the Regular Season through the FedExCup Playoffs and ultimately, at the Playoffs Finale, the TOUR Championship.  These changes include a simplified scoring system at the TOUR Championship that will determine the FedExCup Champion and a new $10 million program for the FedExCup Regular Season sponsored by Wyndham Rewards: the “Wyndham Rewards Top 10.”

The FedExCup Playoffs – which have been reduced from four to three events beginning next season and will conclude before Labor Day, allowing the TOUR to compete to own the August sports calendar – will feature fields of 125 for THE NORTHERN TRUST, 70 for the BMW Championship and 30 for the TOUR Championship, where the FedExCup Champion will be determined. While the points structure for the first two events will remain the same (awarding quadruple points compared to FedExCup Regular Season events), there will be a significant change to the format for the TOUR Championship.

Instead of a points reset at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, beginning with the 2018-19 event the TOUR is instituting a strokes-based bonus system related to the FedExCup standings through the BMW Championship. The FedExCup points leader after the first two Playoffs events will begin the TOUR Championship at 10-under par. The next four players will start at 8-under through 5-under, respectively. The next five will begin at 4-under, regressing by one stroke per five players until those ranked Nos. 26-30 start at even par.

With the implementation of this change, the player with the lowest total score will be the FedExCup Champion and be credited with an official victory in the TOUR Championship competition.

“This is a significant and exciting change for the PGA TOUR, our players, our partners and – most importantly – our fans,” said Monahan. “As soon as the TOUR Championship begins, any fan – no matter if they’ve followed the PGA TOUR all season or are just tuning in for the final event – can immediately understand what’s going on and what’s at stake for every single player in the field. And, of course, players will know exactly where they stand at all times while in play, which will ratchet up the drama, consequence and volatility of the competition down the stretch.

“Compared to the current system, the beauty here is in the simplicity.  Fans are very familiar with golf leaderboards in relation to par, so they will have a clear understanding of the impact every shot makes during the final run for the FedExCup – ultimately leading to a singular champion without conflicting storylines.”

“It has been gratifying to witness the growth, popularity and importance of the FedExCup since its launch in 2007,” said Davis Love III, a current Player Director on the PGA TOUR Policy Board who also served on the Board during the development and launch of the FedExCup. “Several important refinements have been made along the way to help accelerate the FedExCup’s universal acceptance as a tremendous achievement in professional golf. However, I believe this new strokes-based bonus system for the TOUR Championship might well be the most important of them all, as it will lend absolute clarity to where everyone in the field stands and what exactly they must do to win the FedExCup. It will make for a very exciting and dramatic four days.”

Meanwhile, the new $10 million Wyndham Rewards Top 10 not only will add drama to the Wyndham Championship as the final event before the FedExCup Playoffs but will also put an even greater premium on excelling over the course of the FedExCup Regular Season.  The top-10 Regular Season finishers in FedExCup points through the Wyndham Championship – also sponsored by Wyndham Rewards – will reap the benefits of the Wyndham Rewards Top 10. The leader will earn $2 million, followed by $1.5 million for the runner-up with the 10th-place finisher earning $500,000. Additionally, each player in the top 10 will be invited into Wyndham Rewards at its most exclusive Diamond level, unlocking all the travel perks and unique Wyndham benefits that go along with it.

And while the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 will be recognized at the conclusion of the Wyndham Championship, the impact of the program will be felt throughout the season; a player’s performance every week becomes more critical than ever before, elevating the significance of each tournament on the schedule and producing drama for PGA TOUR fans at every turn.

“We are excited to unveil the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 next year, which will place an even greater premium on excelling over the course of the Regular Season,” said Andy Pazder, Chief Tournament and Competitions Officer for the PGA TOUR.  “Season-long success is tantamount to qualifying for and advancing through the FedExCup Playoffs, and this is an exciting way to reward the best of the best and provide an added layer of drama for our fans in each market and around the world.”

In addition to the $10 million Wyndham Rewards Top 10, the existing FedExCup bonus pool will increase by $25 million, to $60 million.  The FedExCup Champion will receive $15 million, versus the $10 million prize from previous years.

“Our players and fans have invested in the FedExCup over the past 12 seasons, and with these enhancements, we are reinvesting in the FedExCup in order to raise the stakes, so to speak, for their benefit,” said Monahan.  “We are able to grow and diversify our fan base because we have the best athletes on the planet competing on the PGA TOUR.  Now is the time to make these changes, and thanks to significant input in the process by our players, partners and fans, I believe we’re making exactly the right moves.

“To that end, these changes wouldn’t have been possible without the full support of the TOUR Championship’s outstanding Proud Partners – Coca-Cola and Southern Company – as well as longtime partner FedEx and an enhanced partnership with Wyndham Rewards,” he added. “They shared our vision for how we can challenge ourselves to raise level of excitement and fan engagement throughout the season up until the moment our FedExCup Champion is determined.”
