oostie has played really good today, couple shots are a few inches diff he could be level w phil rn
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 23 May 2021 21:27 (three years ago) link
of course after i say that he fucked up 13

Glad Mickelson has a bit of a cushion; that looks gruesome.

during the overhead crowd shots i remarked i hadnt seen that many ppl move en masse since jan 6

i hate that nantz had nothing better ready than "phil defeats father time"
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 23 May 2021 23:10 (three years ago) link
I sure hope everyone there's been vaccinated! Anyway, glad I stuck around. I spent two decades rooting against Mickelson (because of Tiger) but I was pulling for him today.

i wonder how many times phil gave the thumbs-up today
― mookieproof, Sunday, 23 May 2021 23:19 (three years ago) link
on some of those walkthroughs he was flashing it every 5 seconds, like clockwork. it was very odd to watch
on another note, I forgot that they don't get golf carts in these tournaments. nothing more riveting to watch on TV than a 50 year old man walking 300 yards
― frogbs, Monday, 24 May 2021 01:32 (three years ago) link
Phil!!!! Can’t believe he did it. Thought he was toast after the first hole today
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Monday, 24 May 2021 02:25 (three years ago) link
Even more than holing out from the sand, I thought his most amazing shot was that 365-yard drive down the middle.

Yea that was nuts and you could tell he had it wrapped after that one
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Monday, 24 May 2021 04:34 (three years ago) link
what scenes. great course for a tourney ,awful for 'normal' golfers. another dent in the legend of brooks.
― oscar bravo, Monday, 24 May 2021 12:01 (three years ago) link
Thought his last green approach was killer, that had plenty of potential to go awry
― flagpost fucking (darraghmac), Monday, 24 May 2021 12:25 (three years ago) link
brooks sounded a little pissy about getting bumped by the crowd but i can’t blame him. that whole thing would have made me very uncomfortable (and unhappy with the tournament directors) even if i weren’t coming off knee surgery

brooks vs bryson is heating up
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:23 (two years ago) link
thing is bryson bothers brooks a lot more than brooks bothers bryson. it is funny how much brooks openly loathes him tho.
― oscar bravo, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:52 (two years ago) link
they both come off like jerks but golf needs something like this

No-one's interested in the Open? In the UK we have the excuse that it's not on the BBC anymore which tends to kill off interest in sports beyond dedicated fans.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 18 July 2021 17:37 (two years ago) link
I tend not to follow sport unless I can watch it live though I read reports.
Lol @ Oosthuizen fucking it up again.
Looked like a lovely afternoon of Golf.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 18 July 2021 17:41 (two years ago) link
Yes, I'd have loved to have spent a lazy Sunday afternoon/ evening watching it but I assume it's on Sky now. Anyway, it's finished, Morikawa won and I didn't see a second of it!
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 18 July 2021 17:43 (two years ago) link
Yeah 20 or so years watching The Open :-(
Was almost as sad as when summer Test Cricket left terrestrial in 2005 (though radio can be adequate for cricket I've never got into it).
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 18 July 2021 17:58 (two years ago) link
lol watched north of 30 hours of it this week. spieth looking great again, rahm bad day with the putter. morikawa was sublime ,fantastic iron player.
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 18 July 2021 17:58 (two years ago) link
the gap btwn his strokes gained approach and the number 2 is wider than btwn the number 2 and number 30.
been highlights on bbc every day btw
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 18 July 2021 18:01 (two years ago) link
Don't like watching highlights of golf for some reason.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 18 July 2021 18:02 (two years ago) link
Highlights for most sport is kinda wack though I'll try and catch it. For me its a nice way to look back on an event you already watched.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 18 July 2021 18:12 (two years ago) link
Any particular reason you cant watch it
Are ye protesting by not pirating it or something lads

Can't be arsed with pirating. I'm old.

is it true that golf is on the radio in the uk
― mookieproof, Sunday, 18 July 2021 22:16 (two years ago) link
Yes! Since the Ryder Cup disappeared from free-to-air TV (late '90s?) it's been the only way to experience several editions live. Though I did watch the climax of 2002 in a pub.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 18 July 2021 22:29 (two years ago) link
not a huge golf fan but certain things that i've happened to watch are unforgettable
today i was reminded that jean van de velde's incredible collapse at carnoustie was 22 years ago ffs
― mookieproof, Monday, 19 July 2021 00:56 (two years ago) link
God, yes, makes my toes curl just thinking about it.

jeongeun lee6 just played one of the greatest rounds i've ever seen. admittedly no wind but 61 at a major championship is remarkable. leads the evian by 7 shots with the morning wave finished round 2. conditions perfect so perhaps someone can eat into her lead.

i don't see the upside to joining the saudi-backed league, but then, i'm not raking in the blood money
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Friday, 3 June 2022 20:24 (one year ago) link
thats the only upside. and for guys that have fallen out of the top spot contention week to week they can rake it in pretty easily i would think.

when you've made $100m playing golf and can make another $100m by sportswashing murder

they got bryson and reed now too...
― Spottie, Wednesday, 8 June 2022 19:32 (one year ago) link
talor gooch and if he's healthy bryson are the only players who looked likely to win on the PGA tour in the next 12 months who the liv have signed up. maybe Kevin Na or Hudson Swofford in a start of the wraparound season weaker field event. DJ has been crap for the last year with the exception of the Ryder Cup. the liv format looks boring and the fields weak. but hey the money is astronomical. all these turds would have merrily played in apartheid era south Africa for sure.
