misteregg Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Apparently The Open was the only one with pandemic insurance and so was chosen to be canceled.It’s a sensible move and golf is the first sport to work out some kind of framework to return.

With his swing, should have easily had 6 or 7 majors. I was happy to see him get one, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not gone for English but among picking his 7 mentions "while Harris English is face-smackingly obviously following his resurgence and a small hint of match practice at Sea Island over the weekend. But in the spirit of speculation, I prefer another Sea Island resident at twice the price with BRIAN HARMAN next." https://www.sportinglife.com/golf/news/former-champions-worth-chancing/180661 Edited June 10, 2020 by Lemondropkid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Morikawa on 18.....it was a great tournament IMO, especially being 1st after the layoff. No one got to -16, and many are kicking themselves for being a shot or two out of a win/playoff. It must be said as well, these boys didn’t seem too rusty. If they were, watch out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Just hit my first balls in 5 years. The first 20 or so were predictably horrible, all low and topped, being 100 pounds overweight and never flexible makes it worse. But I just focused on 2 things and the rest of the bucket went much better: 1. Finishing my already short backswing 2. Pulling with the left arm on the downswing Will try to play 9 or 18 Monday or Tuesday somewhere in the Montreal area, have many nice courses that are ~ 1000 baht midweek. Boy am I glad I hit some balls and didn’t go straight to the course after 5 years. Hoping to break 100, sounds easy for a guy who shot a 76 once, but we must be realistic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Just got back from my first 9 holes in 5 years. Was a pretty fun time, but I was walking with a trolley, and sadly by hole 5 I was gassed- you all might laugh, but 330 pounds takes its toll on you. I have lost tons of distance from when I was in my 20’s, first hole was 360 yards, and I was short after 3 wood,5 wood. Plus when you play alone, you get tired after a stroll, then it’s always your turn to hit ASAP! So I realized how much I miss the game, but I won’t play again until I’m in better shape....sad but true. I take my golf very seriously, and when I hit a 3 wood from tee , on the button, and it only flies 190, that’s very discouraging. Course was beautiful, about 50 minutes from DT Montreal. Green fee wasn’t even £10 for 9 holes, great value https://www.golfcowansville.com/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteregg Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Ryder Cup postponed until 2021https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/53246674Very sad. I think it should have gone ahead, spectators or not. Most of the spectators at Ryder Cups are corporate or piss heads anyway. More a football crowd than golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
