The Mighty Thor Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Celtic Manor is fine, just bad luck with the weather, we are all in the lap of the gods in this country in regard to the weather! The land that the 2010 course has been built on is in a valley and the original 18 holes (of which 9 survive) was notoriously wet, which is surprising when you build a golf course in a valley next to a river. Think Cardrona or Haddington the latter of which you could canoe down certain fairways in the winter. The course was soaking wet when they played the wales open in June.

Walter Bishop Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Looks like no Monday play, session 2 is to be 6 x foursome matches, session 3 is to be 4 x fourballs and 2 x foursomes and final session 12 singles. Points available 28, points to win 14 1/2. Still hoping for Sunday finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Got back in time to catch play resuming. Great timing and didn't even need to pull a sicky either.....may have to consider it on Monday though They're trying to avoid it being extended into Monday. Six foursomes in the second session; two foursomes and four fourballs in the third session; singles on Sunday as usual. It's quite an ask, and will test squad depth more than ever before.

Larry Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 That's exactly my thinking too, his confidence is shot to pieces and it's quite sad to see, I hope he can nick a birdie or two to give him a bit of a gee up. At least under the other format, he could be given the day off to work on a few things. Playing with no confidence and then having to play another 2 rounds today will be a nightmare. On the plus side, He is playing against Dustin Johnson/Mickelson who might miss a lot of fairways. Foursomes predictions Jimenez/Hanson vs Woods/Stricker - Europe to win with a couple of holes to spare Molinari/Molinar Vs Z.Johnson/Mahan - Europe to win very close match Westwood/Kaymer Vs Furyk/Fowler - Europe to win, close match Harrington/Fisher Vs Mickelson/Johnson - USA to win by the 15th Poulter/Donald Vs Watson/Overton - USA to win close match McDowell/McIlroy Vs Cink/Kuchar - A/S Europe 5 - 5 USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
