Oh boy, more links golf. 'Luv it. The course seems short for a links course. Hopefully it'll have enough danger to keep the scores in check. The forecast calls for showers and possible t-storms on Thursday and Friday. Saturday looks clear, but Sunday brings more showers.

 

Only 2 hours of coverage on Thursday and Friday. Bah. After the incredible first shot to last shot coverage of the Open Championship, this feels like a real letdown. At least they have 3 hours of coverage on the weekend.

 

Mi Hyang was wonderful last year, but she's been in rotten form so far this season. She's missed six cuts, including the last 4 in a row. Her best finish this season is 8th. I'm going to go with Michelle this week. She seems to play well on links courses. In-Kyung should also be in the mix.

Without see the scorecard for the ladies, Gullane plays up and around a massive hill, so some will be a fair bit longer, others of course shorter.

They also need to protect against the wind. It's unfortunate they bump up against the Senior Open or they would've gotten more airtime surely.

[Stooch]

There better be wind this week, that's all I'm saying, I'm a fan of carnage lol The men escaped the wind for the most part on the 2 link style course played over in Europe. :taunt:

[Argonne69]

Winds are forecast to be 12 mph on Thursday, with gusts up to 20 mph. They're predicting 9/15 (steady/gust) on Friday, 10/15 on Saturday, and 16/24 on Sunday.

 

'Should be a challenge.

[ChronicSlicer]

Lot of LET players in the field, it`s nice to see some fresh faces. With that being said, I would have no issues with the camera`s following Annabel Dimmock, Carly Booth, Amy Boulden around all tourney, but I doubt that happens.

 

Carlota Ciganda, Charley Hull, Emma Talley, Sandra Gal, Bronte Law, maybe not winners but top of the leaderboard.

 

I`m going with Anna Nordqvist or Ariya.

[ClairefromClare]

LET--that means we get to watch Ann Van Dam (I hope). She won't win it, but she's great fun to watch.

Late on this, like 3 years. But appreciate you starting the threads with all the info, and your blog too.

Looking forward to this, had thought about heading up on the weekend to watch but not sure I will get the chance now. Shame as its just an hour away and its not often we get to see the ladies play round here.

[postfold]

Also looking forward to this, 10 hours of TV isn't bad. Couldn't even begin to guess on a pick.

[Stooch]

Looks like lexi pulled out off the Ricoh, citing events off the last year and a half and mental fatigue. Hope she comes strong.

 

[Mellow]

Hunh, I hadn't realized Mi Hyang's been having a tough time of it. Hope this picks her back up then. Although for defending just anything passable is great.

 

Hope this is good for MJ again too, always cheering for her.

 

I'm doing a wind dance too! Want everyone to have a good time, but it's fun to watch them deal with challenges and tough spots.

I concur. This is much appreciated each week, Argon.

[OldTomMorris]

Ally Mcdonald has started well, saw her @ Kingsbarns and really enjoyed watching her swing. Not really much information about her out there, looks to be a very talented player.

[Garush34]

Gullane looking good on the broadcast today, will be some interesting viewing. They seem to have got the wind that the men didn't seem to get a couple weeks ago.

[legitimategolf]

Charley Hull playing well. Hopefully none of her mates snuck into the event to watch, lest she die of embarrassment.

[duffer987]

Dame Laura! Showing the kids how it's done :)

[Argonne69]

In-Kyung, Amy, and Jenny Shin with the early lead after finishing their morning rounds at -5. Only 12 players in the first wave finished under par, though. The course appears to be playing tough.

[duffer987]

Love it! The EURO tours do a great job with their social/promotional stuff

"Strongbow or Bulmers".

"Bulmers." Didn't hesitate for a second :)

[legitimategolf]

Unknown newcomers "Sung Park" and "Jeong Lee" making strong statements early on.

[mnmlistgolfr]

...and a special welcome back to Jenny Shin's phony accent!

[legitimategolf]

About time for Su Oh to take her place and complete a triumvirate of great young Korean-Australasian LPGA golfers. IMHO.

[Stooch]

Watching the broadcast right now, Cheyanne Woods could have found herself a new career when she's done competing

[legitimategolf]

Never heard of "R. Ryu" before, but she could easily pass as So Yeon's twin sister.

Maybe they were referring to the Lenny Kravitz song, "R Ryu Gonna Go My Away".

Tiffany Joh with a 4 under so far with 9 to go! Aaaaannnnnd I just jinxed her...

[jumpcut]

I think the TV director really wants to be doing a nature documentary. A golf shot, a shot of the coastline, a golf shot, a shot of the plains, a golf shot, a shot of a seagull in flight...

LOL I was just joking about this with a friend in Scotland - they are playing Scottish golf coverage bingo. They do it during all the links coverage across the tours.

I got the early jinx in on Laura, shame she limped home.

[hebsan]

WOW! Tiff Joh with a -9 62, where did that come from?
