Golfingboy Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Unbelievable Wolff got this far with that crazy swing. Goes to show you, as long as the clubface is in a good position at impact, that’s all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I was sad to receive an email this morning saying I wasn’t picked for 2020 Masters tickets.

Lemondropkid Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Open Championship starts Thursday. Read a preview piece looking the the official world ranking of the recent winners (OWGR). Of the last 19 winners 9 of 19 ranked in the world top 10 17 of 19 ranked in the top 55( hate retrofitting of stats but just done it myself🙄) The 2 outliers where Darren Clarke ranked 111 (tournament held in N Ireland-stewards enquiry? 🤔) and Ben Curtis rated 200th based in the world at the time- let's face if the 200th ranked player wins chance are he's not your selection. Seems only the best need apply- probably not saying anything golf fans didn't already know, but will stop my usual mad bombing on outsiders. Oh and it does get windy in N Ireland🤯 Going to wait till I see the draw and play on Wednesday evening with an eye on the weather forecast pick some top 50 players, who may look to have an early Thurs/late Friday tee time or vice versa in the "best "of the weather. What can go wrong?🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he even got in that year is beyond me. I was reading today about how Wolff is not in the Open even with his win, but McDowell(who I’m really pulling for) got in with only a T-8 at the Canadian Open. The Open Qualifying Series is not the fairest thing, but at least it lets in some guys outside of Top 50 at the last moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have misread from my original source. Interesting little bio on him https://www.theopen.com/players/ben-curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I've backed him a few times in the past , I read that he is now working with Steve Williams ( Ex Tiger and Adam Scott ) , he's my outsider, former world no 1 and has won a major before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I was listening to the Golf Channel Live @ the Open segments, they have some really good info. One stat I was sure I had heard wrong, is that Jack Nicklaus had a stretch of 15 Opens in the Top 6. Sure enough, I checked and from 1966-80 his worst finish was a T6. Amazing consistency. Look at the 70’s, one MC and 2 other finishes outside the Top 13.....in 40 events Edited July 18, 2019 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
