DannyDips Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Is it just me or doesn't the Open seem like the perfect book end to "Major" season? April with the Azaleas and end golf "Major" season with the OPEN? Seems very fitting and balanced to me. I think I like the new schedule more and more I think about it.

Especially with Brooks/Spieth coming home with the win... Absolutely agree. From March through September each month has at least one compelling great tournament to watch, from the Players, the four majors, the Fedex, to the Ryder Cup or President's Cup (granted that the President's Cup usually isn't as compelling).

GolfSpy_APH Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Anyone have their thoughts on the staff bags this weekend? Personally I love TM's... simple classic and to me very much represents the Open golf with its aesthetics and simplicity. Then there is Callaways, bright bold colorful and very unique but for me doesn't suite the event. I maybe should look at some more closeups, but to me it screams the loud pants golf company and looks a bit out of place. Again I need to look at close up and maybe there is a story there, but night and day stylistic choices and at least for me a clear winner in TM's Rickp and Shankster 2 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

Seeing some hints of Brown is a welcome sight. I wish the brands would offer more monochromatic colors like brown and mustard yellow, I like the classic looks 100%. It wouldn’t sell very well, but I’d buy it. TM wins for me. Surprised that PING isn’t jumping on the bag-wagon. They could make some cool stuff.

The Fedex playoffs are all top fields with the best players on usually really good courses (sans East Lake, which is decent enough). I do agree that moving at least one of the WGCs to an international course would be fun. I'm glad the St. Jude left Firestone (boring course to watch), maybe that one or the Workday can find an international location. But it would have to be someplace in a time zone that works for the US market to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be made if I started out behind the leader by several strokes without even hitting a ball. Plus, I personally think East Lake is extremely bland, as are a lot of the courses that they play.

GolfSpy_APH Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Meanwhile back at the Open we have had a interesting day 1 so far. Gotta love that Louis is leading after round one and the story of can he hold on will start with Spieth again showing great golf today. I didn't watch as much as I wanted so far, but I did find the course to be pretty interesting with some wild shapes and true rub of the green kicks... makes me more excited for how the next few days will play out and the real threat of some big names to potentially miss the cut! aerospace_ray, ejgaudette, fixyurdivot and 1 other 4 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

fixyurdivot Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Great showing by Finau... I know at least a couple people who are rooting for him . Will today be the reverse of yesterday, with the afternoon players scoring average much lower? Is it inappropriate for me not to root for "Man Bun"? Come on Marcel, let it hang, tuck it under a cap if you must, but celebrate that mane! Bummer about Zalatoris. Way too young to be having back pains. Anyone know if this has been an issue for him in the past? Watching a number of players take violent hacks out of the rough yesterday left me wondering who might end up injured by the end of the event. Rory took what looked like a pitch fork full of hay on one escape... stuff is crazy thick. Two of my FTx crew blew up; Reed and Glover. With Webb in tomorrow, here's hoping at least 3 of my afternoon round players can survive and make the weekend. ncwoz, GolfSpy_SHARK and Vegan_Golfer_PNW 3 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
