My yearly take away from the Open is how remarkable it is that people chose to live there:



It's summer!

It's summer!

That's why at Wimbledon last week when it got into the 80's people were dropping in the stands cause they aren't used to that type of heat.

A friend of mine and his family are in Ireland right now and have tickets to the first day of the Open

That would have to be cool.

Having lived in other states for years, I can’t believe people live in Iowa.

Feels like the least Joel and Geno could've done was break up BEFORE going across the pond.

I wish more people thought this and left.

But…back to Portrush. Looks like some rain, but temps in the 60s and the winds don’t seem to be too bad (10-15 mph). I was hoping for 25-30 mph winds and sideways rain.

Trying to hit out of a bunker that is 300 feet deep.

Speaking of deep bunkers, I played the stadium course at PGA West a couple of weeks ago and had to hit out of this:

That bunker is crazy. Find yourself in that one, might as well take a drop

It's the craziest feature I've seen on a golf course in person. I may have resorted to a hand wedge after my first three attempts to get out were nowhere close!

Dahmen isn't playing in The Open

Probably had to ice your shoulder/elbow after that toss.

I’d lobby my partners to let me throw it out. For the good of pace of play

After watching several of these segments this year it's hard to believe this guy made over 12 million on the tour. Seems like a good dude though. Shot hit at 1:20 mark.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Up because my back hurts (shingles SUCK) and trying to watch on Peacock. It says the event starts an hour and a half ago. Hit play and all I've gotten in 20 minutes is coverage will begin shortly. Annoying.

 

[BigJCy]

Rain and a good amount of wind right now for the players.

Got up to workout and turned on the Open to have on in the background. Thought I was watching a replay at first when I saw Westwood at the top of the leaderboard.
