'Hoping for a little links-like weather this week.

 

@Argonne69 you got your wish for links-like weather this afternoon!

i think i prefer fair-weather golf!  

(I'm amazed they don't double-rain-glove, in this wet weather!)  ☔🧤 🙌

Albeit In-Gee Chun's "flasher mac" wet-weather gear = quite  stylish!

(we miss @Argonne69's fashion thread!)

Glad to see them get some good Scottish golf weather. "Nae rain, rae wind, nae golf".

A bit drookit is it?  As people often joke, a Scottish summer day is when you can experience all four seasons.  🙂

I missed Golf Channel own coverage every time they switched to European coverage.  Fortunately, we should have Golf Channel back next week!

[Argonne69]

Nice leaderboard. A handful of major winners, along with a number of young players looking for their first win. 

 

If Lydia could have made a putt coming in she would have the lead. Good position though. 

 

[Shortgamemagic]

I saw Lydia fix the cup on the 15th par 3. I thought only officials could do that?

A player is allowed to repair damage to the green, including the hole. 

 

13.1c(2)/2 – Damaged Hole Is Part of Damage on the Putting Green

 

Damage to the hole is covered by Rule 13.1c as part of damage on a putting green. The player may repair a damaged hole unless the damage is natural wear that Rule 13.1c does not allow to be repaired.

 

For example, if the hole is damaged in removing the flagstick, it may be repaired by the player under Rule 13.1c, even if the damage has changed the dimensions of the hole.

Her irons today were incredible. Feel good for her to win the British

You sure it's not one of them creepy kissing guys from the Evian?

[HankScorpio]

Why does GC have a million replays of the PGA round and can't even spare a time slot for the ladies.  You'd think they would show the replay at least once later in the day.  I know most have PVRs but the women really get the shaft.  No wonder the LPGA isn't as popular.  It's never on TV.  🤦‍♂️

I got quite the chuckle when they put the Race to the CME Globe graphic about 5 minutes into the 1st round coverage on GC.  Sitting in 6th place was a player I hadn't heard of before - "LEXY THOMSON".  😀   I'd post a pic of it from my TV if I didn't think I'd get in trouble for it.  They also left out the 2nd syllable in the Korean players' names - "JIN KO", "HYE CHOI", and "IN CHUN".  I've seen that in the past, though.

 

(Edit: To clarify, I realize that wasn't GC's graphic.)

I'm still steaming that the replays aren't available streaming on Peacock and/or NBC Sports App. Highlights are available on YouTube.

What putter is Lydia Ko using? Anyone know? She's been changing a bit recently.

After the first round it appears her links prowess is pretty good!

 

I may be right for the 1st time in my life if Hye Jin Choi wins!

Don’t know about you but I found U.K. Sky coverage intolerable because of background noise from a road or runway and the broadcast timing.  
 

I can only assume Sky’s proper equipment is at Muirfield. Very poor job altogether.

Yes - it was intolerable. The sound mixer was to blame for getting the balance wrong with the studio commentary. Somebody must have complained since it got better later in the round.

Thanks. I’ve noticed this on the coverage of many ladies’ events though not so pronounced as yesterday.

Obviously a center shafted Scotty mallet. 
 

that’s all I got 🙂

"Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share"

 

Lydia Ko -- back to back 65s - currently first place at -14 under.  Nicely done.  She has been playing some really good golf for a while now.   She's put up with her share of critics over the years too, but good to see her in a really good spot.  Through thick and thin she has never lost faith in herself and I think that self belief helped her get through the rough patches.
 

https://bit.ly/2EEqV2h 

 

In Gee Chun -- She posted a 67 today as she took advantage of her morning time slot after yesterday afternoons rain.  She's another player that has had her share of good times and bad times as she struggled with her game, her nagging back injury in 2016-17, and then with depression.  She has an art show coming up in Korea later this year.  Apparently, she likes to paint and has been working with an artist in Korea to prepare for a show where she will have one or more pieces of her art on display.   She has Foundation set up in Lancaster, PA  as a legacy from her US Women's Open title.

Apologies if these have been posted before.  Bonus points for anyone able to identify the reference lede. 🤣

Well I picked Jeeno out of nowhere to get her 1st LPGA win, then the next time I pick her she misses her 1st LPGA cut, good with the bad I guess lol  I did also go with Lyds so that's look good, she been looking primed with good play for a while now but Hye Jin Choi has too, so should be a good shootout.

Looking like I picked the wrong Ko this week. ☹️.  Hye Jin off to a rough start with a triple.

Lydia is using a Scotty Cameron P5 GSS putter which has a machine turned Aluminium sole plate.

 

Her putter has 'LYDIA' stamped on the extreme toe and 'KO' stamped on the extreme heel.

Golf is so finicky!  Lydia filled in to play like the old Jin Young Ko while the real Jin Young taking a break,
