Title: Picks for the Open Championship?
Post by: slipbob on Jul 18, 2006, 12:10 PM
Okay who is gonna take it?  El Tigre, Lefty, The Iron Goose, Big Daddy, an unknown?  I bet it won't be Ben Curtis ;D  I would love to see Jose Maria take it, or maybe Daren Clarke, or Thomas Bjorn, anybody but Tiger.

Seriuosly though, I have previewed a bit on the layout, and the amount of O.B. and speed of the track is going to take driver out of play alot.  This turns it into a controlled ball flight/shotmakers course.

That pretty much takes care of Lefty ::) although he is a shotmaker ::)  On top of the control thing is the bounce factor, which will be gaging bounce into some of the greens, because the greens are pretty sick :P

Rough is not a big factor, but the O.B. is and those feak'in bunkers are going be the cow for someone  ;)

I will go with Darren Clarke on the European side, and :cursing: on the American side  ;D

The fun begins tomorrow ;D  I'll be watching it all morning until it ends at 2pm and then at 4pm comes the BC Open coverage :thumbup_smilie:   Jason Bohn passed up the British to defend his BC open title which is pretty cool.  Hopefully he can defend.

I will take Joey for the Hat Trick.  But look out for Chip Beck & Mac O'Grady  ;D

Well - the leader board at the minute is suggesting -15 to 20 is the number  ;D

It will be interesting to see the afternoon scores when the track gets a bit faster, and since I can't WATCH any of it on the TV SlipDOG - make sure you update us as best you can as to pin placements please  :-*

I would think they are going to proportion the front locations equally with tomorrow's setup, as those will be the toughest pins on the course.  If they want to check up the birdies, front pins and harder conditions would be the recipe (one would think anyway  ;))

He is 4 off the lead.

Not normally a lot for him.

Mac

If he sticks a wedge close here on 16 and birdies 18 - he will only be 1 off the pace  :tipup:

Well, Tiger did not birdie 17 - but that Eagle on 18 didn't hurt him too badly  :afro:

He has just narrowed the field  8)

Tiger round 1
  -5

 ;D  That's pretty much it man.  Here's the setup in the front of my agency.  I turn left at my desk I have MFF on the computer.  I turn right I've got the open Championship on my new "replacement" RCA flattie.  8)  This is the way, work should be ;)

Thanks, it's quite "well appointed" ;D  John Daly is ACTUALLY wearing a cap today :o  I can't remember the last time JD was playing golf with a hat on ???  Ernie is only one behind El Tigre and this might be his tourney to prove himself.

What no shot of the "Crash" pad behind the office divider walls. ;D

At best there are now 20 players contending for the Open Campionship  :tipup:

Or just 1  :afro:

No crash pad :P  Just another desk and my "conference" area ;)  Lefty is starting to spray his drives BIGTIME just like the US Open.   :o

Wait till you guys watch the highlights of today's round and see the "shot of the day" ;)  Tiger holed out a 4 iron from 204 on a blind approach shot :o :o which helped him fire that 65 today.  Ernie and DeMarco also shot 65's. 
Title: Re: Picks for the Open Championship?
Post by: slipbob on Jul 24, 2006, 01:21 PM
Well what can you say other than the fact that everybody else pretty much sucks, except Tiger :cursing:  I mean, cmon, Ernie, Sergio, DiMarco,  ??? ???  At least give the guy some competition, it wasn't raining, it wasn't windy, it's not a hard course, they should change their slogan from "These guys are good" to "These guys suck" on any given Sunday at a major championship.  Sergio is NEVER going to win one if that's the best he can do and I don't expect Ernie to EVER win another major either.  Pathetic display of golf for everybody, other than Tiger :P  I watched the whole thing wire to wire on Saturday and Sunday and Tiger was just AWESOME :o

I was in the middle of a 36 hole marathon golf and beer day ;D I didn't catch anything but the highlights. Tiger's a stick, and I have to say he's turned into a pretty classy guy as well. I just wish the media would show some more of the other players....although, like you said, the rest of them do pretty much SUCK  :-\    ;D
