Golf - classic or dud

Didn't realise Sandwich was still a men-only club. Fuck letting them have the Open.

You're joking? Really! Don't know why I'm surprised, it was less than 10 years ago that the club I belong to had us vote on extending membership to women. Kinda mindblowing to me as I assumed there already were women members. Then again I only ever play the course by myself, really don't do the social thing.

just came up on the radio commentary. am honestly surprised that they've been kept on the roster.

so totally dud, was bummed when my dad took it up in his old age

The logic here totally escapes me.

Total classic. I played 9 holes yesterday at a company outing with a new driver I won at a raffle-Cobra L4VX. im friggin killing the ball.

wow, nice sand save by RM on 18

lol did anyone hear hazel irvine say "From Northern Ireland, Graeme McDowell has won the US Open, and Rory McIlroy too. Maybe if Darren Clarke can win this, they'll all stop fighting."

!!!

couple of 70s might take this

about to leave, watching bbc talk about the apocalyptic weather...YAY

oh lol, thought you were going yesterday for some reason

enjoy?

i'm glad i have just been paid and wouldn't feel too bad if it was horrible and we left after a few hours.

sure it'll be fun regardless

how you going to do it, pick a hole and sit or pick a group and follow?

haven't heard/seen a word of this whats the rumpus

darren clarke is winning but he'll have had a few pints last night no doubt.

think maybe pick a hole, though we should get there a little after the time fowler/mcilroy start, so that could be good to follow.

!

darragh heard if clarke wins maybe y'all will stop all the fighting

who can forget the violent scenes when ronan rafferty failed to win year after year in the 80s.

last time i punched a prod was last night, but it was only a dead arm and he was stiffing on his rounds the cunt

doubt even d clarke could do anything with the same man tbh he's a 'terrible man' for to be in rounds with

loving this feature on the ultimate open course

9th at turnberry is gorgeous

yeah great piece unlike the awful helicopter ride earlier.

did i tell the story on ilx before about clarke drinking in my local pub in dublin from 1pm till 1am the day before the irish open. had a major lol the next day reading "clarke shot an 81 in the opening round at portmarnock"

Haha,class.

"it's the guinness"

Tom Watson is just incredible. Level par for the day thru 11 holes in abysmal conditions. Ronan's bet on Fowler looking good.

Maybe Clarke had one or two last night. He was awesome today, could've had a more comfortable lead going into tomorrow but he missed a few putts.

Got a feeling about Dustin Johnson -- lot of steel to get through when he wasn't 100%.

Watson ws incredible though. Immelmann was scoring as well but I don't think the BBC cared.

he jokingly said if he wins he wont be sober for a month

ricky really getting my hopes up re:massive bet win.

As for the ovations he received he laughed and replied: "I think most of the crowd identify with a guy who's not quite an athlete and likes a pint."

great quote, and he's exactly right too.

shot 84 today. had a 7 where I put it in the junk off the tee and took two to get out so could've been much better too

I think its terrible guys like clarke and jimenez play up their tobacco and alcoho use. Won't Anybody think of the children?

I love how this Open has fucked with all the pre-tournament hype, Donald and Rory and Westwood nowhere, a big showing from the Americans. Guess today comes down to how much of a sesh Clarke's had last night eh?

hope not

i heard this but it was one of the males, prob that dick mark james. irvine had to apologize for it later.

also had to listen to him tell us that ryo ishikawa's first name stood for "really young oriental"

no end of horrible comments from these smug bbc fucks tbh

Can't believe there are old golf pros who like to drop dodgy stereotypes.

with a cast-iron sense of security while employed on flagship national broadcasts

i am somewhat surprised.

You can take the boy out of the members only club

wtf nonsense golf rules just cost mcilroy a shot

dammnnn, Phil

phil killing it...amazing putts.

yeah he's stormin now.

Clarke doesn't look like being forced will suit him today either

paddy power fucked up and doubled my bet (and won't refund it), so if rickie fowler wins i get about 800 pounds. if he comes top 7, get about 160

they doubled all my bets, hence why i might want a refund.

oh yeah, heard that really young oriental comment

awkward

oriental is still politically correct in britland afaik? please confirm this for me. i don't want to be my granny, calling pakistanis "coloured" because she thinks that's the polite term.

not that i'm throwing out oriental all the time. if i ever have reason to comment on someone's ethnicity i generally say chinese or japanese.

YOMP

yesss

v good quality of play today

phil...god

what's happening? not watching.

how's kaymer doing (random one i know)?
