Despite Dinsdale’s pleas, I couldn’t run a pool this major championship. I am pretty sure I will be out of pocket over the weekend.
Anyways the Open Championship starts tomorrow, very early tomorrow if you live in the US. ESPN starts coverage at 4 am edt tomorrow. 4 AM!! Set your DVR’s
Weather is supposed to be crappy all weekend, especially tomorrow and Friday.
Tiger’s is part of the early/late wave on the first two rounds, while Mickelson is in the late/early wave. Scotland’s weather can be fickle, there is a good chance that one wave will get better conditions than the other wave.
My picks to win the Open Championship: either Ernie Els or Luke Donald. I don’t think it is going to be an American.
I was going to pick either Tom Watson or Greg Norman, but it looks like the Great White Shark is not going to Scotland. Too bad. I hope another oldie can make a run, though it looks like it won’t be Seve Ballesteros either.
As I go to bed, John Daly in the world’s worst pants sits at -7 through 11 holes. Just tearing it up. Didn’t see that one coming… makes it hard to stop watching!
When I watch them play St. Andrews, i wonder why they don’t break out the old mans club, the chipper. It would be a good club for those long chips they have to keep making.
You are stating the 7 iron does the same job. I dispute that. You rarely see a pro chip with a 7 iron. But is some of these tournaments, a club or two never leave the bag. A chipper would not take away from the bag.
Most pro golfers have flatter lies on their clubs than we do. A pros 7 might be at 30 .
