rab wilson 3,250 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Awesome not a fan of him but brilliant golf none the less.I know there is a long way to go tonight and the weather is turning, but the standard of golf from poulter and Rory mac is sheer poetry. Can't believe how many of you golf freaks are on here. I got interested late but I'm so hooked. Am I the only sad muppet who takes Thursday to Monday off work to watch the US Open, the Open and Ryder Cup? Has any ody been to any of these, how tense is it, and which of you players is the best, have you ever played each other. I have a sneaky, sneeky feeling there is a pro amongst us all.No SurrenderRab Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate watching that man play golf must be such an honour, especially when he is smiling, genuine different world class. I don't care how many pretenders there are. They all know if he is smiling on his way round, then they are fucked, because no other has that talent. Nobody I always find Tiger quite sociable and respectful when interviewed.Like Michael Johnson as well, he can say what he likes, people talk about and hang on his every word. Why not indeed.

QRab, I have played golf since I was 8, love the game, I can be a bad tempered bastard at times (primarily because I think I am better than i really am) however for my heroes I expect very high standards of behaviour and the man cannot hold a candle to Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Phil Mickleson, etc when they are interviewed no matter how they play. Woods is an ignoramous, no more highlighted than when during masters around 3 or 4 years ago he was playing with Phil, both of them shot the lights out of the front nine in the last round, both fell away eventually, during post round interviews, Phil was very gracious, said it was great fun and i am sure Tiger found it the same and many more words to that effect, Woods basically suggested he did not care that Phil was having fun, he did not win and therefore the question to him was an irrelevance.Glad you enjoy the game now Rab, it is addictive, one good shot a week brings you back, just pick a better role model Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R&A have said recently that they can't another course being added to the list of Open courses.Think it will also be played as a Par 70 rather than the current 72 to make it harder.Fantastic finish there.

Adoniram 1,919 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Glad to see McIlroy knuckle down and get his rewards. I think the little "rebuke" from Jack Nicklaus recently has made him realise what you'll get with hard work and some application. By his own admission he wasn't as focused as he should have been. Rory has all the talent in the world to dominate the game like Tiger did.As for Tiger Woods. I cannot stand him as a person. As a golfer his bast days are well and truly over. He may well win the odd tournament but his troubles are in his head not his swing. No amount of practice will repair the damage to his ego since his air of invicibility was smashed away.Oh and i had a cheeky tenner e/w on Petterson at 101/1.
