I think you're onto something there. In many countries i.e. the UK, the beer is warm as well. How ghastly!

i posted this earlier in the thread but no one responded ... somebody over 60 must know where they've seen this before ...

 

 

[Ignatius Reilly]

Wait, what? When did Americans start putting ice in their beer?

 

Anyways two things:

 

Scott Hoch is a dolt if he didn't go play the British because of the weather OR the money. It's the oldest most prestigious golf tourney out there. It's a MAJOR. He has/had plenty enough money (and what's the point of having money if you don't spend it on something like.... playing in a major?) and the weather thing just couldn't be more lame. TBH I never read anything that said it was about the money.

 

And.... two more sleeps and then we get to wake up really early to watch golf. Now THAT is living!!

 

ps - "the weather". Really?

 

 

[imakaveli]

Would love to see another 2011!

[imakaveli]

BOOM!

[tiderider]

hole 6 ... seems to be a smallish, narrow tier in the very back where at least 1 pin position can be located ... that might cause a bit of carnage ...

[JAMH03]

Fella's it's time to start getting the menu's together. Whatcha gonna eat?

Geoff Shackelford has been posting flyovers on his website.

There's this course map:

Not with the current weather forecast. Will need more rain and stronger winds for -3 to win.

@RichieHunt check this out this is awesome @gvogel thanks man!

I guess I'll be coming in to work Thursday and Friday morning bleary eyed from watching the Open early in the morning. That's why the good Lord made caffeine.

Giants causeway....formed by a very particular type of geological event wherein lava cools and molecules cause the final shape to be hexagonal....

The hexagon is a common shape in the universe(thinking of the polar vortex hexagonal event on Saturns North Pole)

While these are unrelated phenomena, they underscore the tendency of nature to exist in and create hexagons.

Not sure that's a good look on Brooks tbh. At least TW laughed it off.

[idrive]

Brooks is going to be just another guy from here out. Hopefully after his head fits through the door again and removes himself from his pedestal he'll return to Earth.

Maybe just maybe Tiger/Brooks/Bryson have brought back a bit of the old school killer attitude to PGA instead of the hang out bros of JT, JS, RF, SK and the like.

He's probably just trying to keep his girlfriend away from Woods.

Thanks for the information about Hoch's era and history with the British Open. I was wrong to make fun of his name and him in my post. I think the cost back then was a very fair reason for not going to Europe. But things feel different now. There's much more money in the pro ranks especially for CHIII who has been referred to as a golfing ATM machine, and more importantly the Majors have taken on an aura of almost folklore now. They're much more venerated than they used to be. I'd love to hear from Howell why he dropped out and I'm sure there are fine reasons for his not going, personal or not. That said, the scrutiny that now attends each drop out of a major, the posts (can't we keep it to golf and not politics please, there's already enough divisiveness to go around forever) discussing it show that it is a big deal now where before it wasn't. One unsaid post--each one of us would give something quite valuable to have the skill set to play in an event like the Open Championship and there's a little bit of that involved in I bet most of the posts condemning Charles.
