I normally blame the greenkeepers for the lack of consistency on the greens. It has to be their fault, cos it's definitely not mine.🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsmak Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 If you want to shoot low scores - BE BORING -best advice you will ever get - Think about the bunkers - hit short of them on your par 4s - so maybe hit a 4 or 5 iron off the tee Par 5s - you probably won't get up in 2 - so don't put the bunkers / rough in play - so 500yrs - you can hit 3 irons and get up - Par 3s - all the trouble on 90% of par 3s are at the front - be long - if its a 6 iron, hit a 5 or 4.. better to miss long than short, and you probably won't hit it properly anyway so it will be fine! Long par 4s? Don't go for the green in 2 - 2 x short shots with a 80yrd pitch left over is better than being in the rough or in a bunker... You are more likely to get close from 70-80yrds than hitting from deep rough pin high.. Me - I ignore all the above.. but when I do course manage, I usually shoot better! EG - on Gullane No1 - I might just use driver 2-4 times on the front 9 - and I don't mean take 3 woods, I mean hitting it safe off the tee!

Rudi Skacel Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Went and watched my pal play today in the Gullane championship final. Pretty windy. He lost 4&2 but the guy wasnt making many mistakes and he kept not finding the fairway with his drive. He done ok though, just shows how important it is to hit the fairway.

Pasquale for King Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Rory seems to think that if he hangs about someone will hand him another major, he definitely needs help on the mental side to win again. He did absolutely nothing to put any pressure on Clarke, he’s too nice and needs to find the aggression we see in the Ryder Cup from him.

To be fair, even during this 9-year major drought, he's still been winning regularly, and winning big events too. There's a lot of tournaments in the golfing calendar, and people judge him entirely on just four of them, which I understand, but feel is pretty harsh.

There's a lot of tournaments in the golfing calendar, and people judge him entirely on just four of them, which I understand, but feel is pretty harsh. Of course but when you see him win these tournaments he goes for it, makes loads of birdies. The commentators were complementary about his driving, but he either wasnt on the right side to attack the pins or he didn’t want to or just hit average shots. He seems to be more conservative at majors now hoping that others will fail, but they won’t unless you put pressure on them. For example yesterday he could’ve slowed everything down so that Clark had to wait on every shot towards the end, or anything else to try and put him off. Really frustrating watching him when you could see early doors that he was doing what he did at the Open last year. I was sitting thinking you have to do something but no change, not sure a young caddie is the best for him either. Then afterwards he says Im really close and just need to keep doing this 😱🤔🤷🏾♂️🤬🤪🤦🏽?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I think he thought that Clark would drop back and he just needed to play a safe round his problem was not so much his putting but his approach shots which were too conservative and he wasn’t giving himself realistic chances for birdies tbf to Clark he played superbly and deserved it. I also have felt for a while he needs a more experienced caddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where Rory is coming from, trying to eliminate mistakes that have cost him dearly. I can’t remember the last time someone handed a major away, maybe Perriera who threw away the USPGA (must be something to do with the name) that Justin Thomas won last year.

Tommy Brown Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Anyone use the SGU app for entering general play? I cannot delete or edit a card I created. It's stopping me from entering another card, Deer Park on Thursday. Emailed them to get them to remove it. The one in the image I couldn't get to work on the night and used HDID instead which works fine but only on your home course. Maybe I am wrong and someone can advise.

My second shot must have had a look at the hole. Ended up a foot past it for an easy tap in birdie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
