    Hit a shank - arra shur even Henrik shanks it.

    Three putt- it cost Scott world no.1, me a scone and coffee...

    Don't forget about the back and the allergies in case you are really having a bad day.

    There were some questions asked about what Matt Every's caddie was using during the round.... turned out to be a compass which is now legal. Seriously.. a fooking compass? Why? Just something else to help slow up play!

    Valero Texas Open this weekend, Mickelson (+2) and Spieth (+5), two of the pre tournament favorites off to slow starts.

    One of the toughest courses on the tour so it might be a bit of a grind, should make for an interesting weekends viewing.

    Lads - could a good mod start a mega - epic - super - dooper Master's Thread. ?

    Will that be a separate Thread ?

    I've seen good previews of events on other forums - anybody fancy that ?

    Lads - this maybe a crazy idea - but can a thread be locked or restricted to people who are golf forum contributors.

    Here we go with - jaysus " Sky for the adds"
    " What are his odds now"
    " I hate monty"
    "jaysus the greens are quick"
    "got him at 43/1"
    "choker"

    "Is Paddy in this"
    "where is Lowry"
    "In the pub"

    Less of your waffle Fix and go and set up that thread :)

    This thread was never intended to be "a catch all" for every single tournament, just a catch all for tournaments that normally wouldn't have had a thread created for them.

    I think the Masters might just be big enough to host it's own thread.
    I await the crazies coming... fair play to the mods in advance for dealing with them!
    The one week you'd want to be left alone to watch the golf...
    But instead they'll be warning Johnny who thinks
    a hybrid is Jacinta on coke,
    who has backed 50 golfers at................../1 and
    who reckons Rory will be playing up front for England in the world cup in Brazil.

    :)

    I'm such a golf snob.

    Welcome crazies

    Mad how they were digging up big rocks and moving them away from their ball. Setting a very bad example for the weekend golfers IMO.

    In one case Bowditch pulled one out the size of a football and to make it worse threw it onto the fairway and left it there.
    Q.The Definition of "Loose Impediments" states that a stone is a loose impediment if it is not "solidly embedded." When is a stone solidly embedded?

    A.If a stone is partially embedded and may be picked up with ease, it is a loose impediment. When there is doubt as to whether a stone is solidly embedded or not, it should not be removed.

    Ya, partially embedded and moved with ease are pretty grey generalisations alright. What about moved with ease by a man Vs moved with ease by a woman ? The same stone could be a loose impediment for one and not the other ? Seems crazy.

    Or for another famous golfer, moved with ease by half the gallery !!:D:D

    I remember watching this at the time, talk about using the rules to your advantage...

    The pace of play is a joke.
    40 mins 2 holes in 3 balls.

    That guy loupe - go away.
    For **** sake.

    He is a f**king joke. That tee shot took him 60 seconds. I hope his golf career is very short.

    Snowdrifts.

    No chance of it being short.

    It is obviously like Na. OCD - maybe we should be moreunderstanding like with Bradley and Na. It is actually OCD to remove bits of grass like that.

    Well... stroke penalties would quickly sort out their OCD problems! A win win for all. :D

    can you give penalties for a proven disorder.

    If they have a disorder which prevents them playing then let them take up another career. Good riddance. I think the world would witness some miracle cures happening however if both tours introduced stroke penalties.
