Senior Open @ Royal Porthcawl

In the spirit of Links golf, I couldn't pass up the opportunity for this thread. This one might be a good watch this week.

 

I'll work on some history and update throughout the week.

I wish they'd cover the practice rounds, and generally cover the Champ Tour a little better. These are the guys we need to learn from.

 

Look at them! 50+ still in good shape, out there not complaining about bad backs, knees, falling down stairs...

I don't know how you could pick against him

[Golfspy_CG2]

Yeah, pretty much anytime Langer tees it up nowadays's he's gong to be the favorite.

This is the weather you were hoping for last week. It is tough playing conditions that's for sure.

How often would most of us get the chance to go over there to watch an open??? If I paid for it I'd be going.

A few years ago I played golf in Albuquerque at the Sandia Golf Club on the weekend with a rental set of clubs.  Brand new Titleists all the way down to the Bullseye putter.  I like heavy putters and when I saw that Bullseye, I thought I would have a horrible putting round because it's a very light-feeling putter to me.  I played with a good friend and a couple of his buds that played on the GC Am Tour.  We played two-man better ball teams switching after six holes, so I got to play with them all.  I had one of my best putting rounds on a course that I had never played before, and ended up overall winner (had some help though).
