The Open at St. Andrews

Twelve of the par 4's are drivable. With the firm conditions on the greens does this negate an advantage for the long hitters?

Yea, I hear the roll out on the drives is insane. I think it was Tiger who just said today guys are using 7 Iron off the tee.

You hit it on the line you want all day but if the wind grabs it or the ball hits and kicks one way, you can be in a Tatooine bunker real quick.

Hasn't the Open always lessened the advantages of big hitters?

Tiger went in on the LIV guys in his presser yesterday.

In a way yes but if the winds dies down it really can take the teeth out of an Open.

Tiger looks like he's ready to just walk off the course and up into the broadcast booth. This is fucking awful. He can't do anything out there.

How do they get a par 72 out of a course that has only two par 5s? Are there only two par 3s?

 

[Montalban]

I hope a LIV player wins. Maybe that will shut clowns like Chamblee and Broadhurst up and that other British asshole on the golf channel

How do they get a par 72 out of a course that has only two par 5s? Are there only two par 3s?

Yup.

I played a course a couple of weeks ago that had three par 5's and three par 3's on the back.

 

[Montalban]

Yup.

I played a course a couple of weeks ago that had three par 5's and three par 3's on the back.

The course I play now has changed it’s format and I don’t like it. They only have one par 5 and one par 3 on the back and you play 8 par 4s in a row. Kind of ruined it. All in an effort to put more houses on fairways to make money

 

[Montalban]

Awesome to see woods hit it in the water on #1. Easiest hole on the course. Karma is a bitch

 

[Montalban]

Love St Andrews, the history, the course, the atmosphere, the city, the fans; one thing that I think needs to change is the 6hour and 10 minute rounds in the British Open. That is way too long.

 

[Montalban]

Its over. No way Smith gives up this 3-shot lead. he just doesn't make bogeys.

whoops.

 

[skinzfan]

Love the greens there. Fast as hell with all that undulation. I played Greenbriar #2 last year. Same thing. My caddie would give me the line for a 20 foot putt and still I'd roll it 10 foot by the hole. Humbling game.

 

[foster4prez]

Cam Smith imploding. DJ fading. Rory balling out.

Got money on Victor.

Been a fun day.

 

[Montalban]

Now that Woods is washed up my new guy I'll root against is McIlroy, the PGA Tour poster boy. Its sickening listening to the announcers openly root for him. Isn't this the asshole that called off his wedding with his finance via text message after all the wedding invitations were sent out? He's a gutless piece of shit, phonier even than Mickelson.

Flash bet 5 minutes only....

Rory 2 putts his 35th straight.....
