Actual Golf: General Tourney discussion

Re: Actual Golf: The British Open

I'm not sure about this, but I think they said he was the first to win both the Masters and The Open, as far as the first legs, in terms of getting a chance at a career grand slam.

In 1953 Hogan won Masters US Open and the British Open. At that time the PGA was held at the same time as the British robbing him of the chance to win all 4 in the same year. He was 40 at the time.

Zach Johnson reminds me of elevator music. Him winning is like winning $1 on a $1 scratch-off.

Only 36 players have won at least 2 majors.

WTF Dustin Johnson.

WTF Dustin Johnson.

When you can't putt eventually everything breaks down because you are trying to put everything to 3 feet and its not sustainable. You can cover up a lot of warts with good putting, conversely with bad putting nothing else matters because you can't score.

Early Sunday they showed him on the practice putting green. The guy missed two consecutive 3 foot putts.

Yeah, DJ is also a bit too hot/cold, kinda like Phil. When he's on he'll just blitz a course, but being "on" for 4 consecutive rounds is tough. Then you have guys like Spieth and Zach Johnson that generally don't go torch a course, but pretty much keep their good and bad rounds within a narrow range. Clearly, that's a much more sustainable strategy (not that you can necessarily choose to be one or the other).

Also, not that anyone needed another reason to belittle Rick Reilly, but when Zach Johnson won the Masters back in 2007 by gunning down Tiger at Augusta, Riley proclaimed “I think Zach Johnson — in 10 years — has a real chance to be your server at Olive Garden.”

Re: Actual Golf: The British Open

Interesting thought: if they don't resume play on Saturday during that hurricane-force gale that was going on (only to stop play again for the day 30 minutes later), which Spieth - at that time - stated may have cost him a shot, does he win the Open?

We'll never know....

Part 2:

Concurrently, if Spieth doesn't have to stop his swing on shot #2 on the 72nd hole because of fan interference, would he have parked that shot instead of coming up short?

Re: Actual Golf: The British Open

The golf club team stopped work and watched the play-off in our lounge, we were all competing for the $65 in the sweep. Speith let me down :-( . https://twitter.com/thegolfclubgame/...00908076294145

I didn't say anything about his playing ability. I respect his game, he just doesn't inspire me to care about him.

Re: Actual Golf: The British Open

Hard to believe with all of the vid game talk, there aren't thread made for actual events, especially majors.

As ITT said, we've discussed most major tournaments and other live events in the OS Golfers thread but if it's okay with you I'd like to just remove the "British Open" from your thread title and use this to discuss real golf tournaments here going forward now that we have about 6 of us that want to talk golf on a semi normal basis.

This way we could leave that thread for what it was originally intended for as well (not that it bothered anyone).

I was actually going to recommend that to someone.

It will probably work now, a couple years ago I started a thread for either the Masters or the US Open that I think got one post in it so I gave up.

What exactly is he supposed to do? He made a killer putt on the 72nd hole which turned out to be the bar and set up the playoff that he dominated.

That sounds cool. I always thought the OS Golfers Thread was some type of video game league for OS'ers.
