July 17, 200818 yr Tiger will never cease to amaze me. He won the U.S. open on a broken leg. Old news but still amazing.
July 17, 200818 yr True and it will also cost the PGA and the tv stations because when Tiger is not playing the rating go way down. The man is truly amazing.
July 19, 200818 yr Camilo Villegas, a Colombian golfist... there's in the news he did good in his debut... dunno where... Golf is quite boring :wacky:

July 22, 200818 yr Golf is amazing. its the purity of the game that attracts me. im only 16 and love it :). i can go out there and just concentrate on each and every shot without a care in the world. i consistently shoot mid 70's so if i hit a bad shot i have been known to get a little angry lol. been playing for around 7 years and have already broken i think 9 clubs lol. latest one i hit against a tree. dad wasn't very happy. but yea that Tiger guy is good lol. John Daly fan myself.
June 22, 200917 yr One of my friends wants me to start golfing with local businessmen, I should probably practice first.
June 22, 200917 yr Barnes self destructed, Glover is also 3+ and although he's hanging on, he's only managing to save pars. Mickelson is pretty much the only guy with any momentum, although Fisher might hang around.
June 22, 200917 yr Glover was hardly mentioned until probably the 13th 14th holes, and when he won there was hardly any crowd reaction at all! This is the fecking US OPEN!

June 22, 200917 yr Not sure what your commentators are like over there but he got loads of attention here. He would've gotten a whole lot more applause if Mickelson and Duval hadn't come so incredibly close. Its like when Ogilvy won at Winged Foot. The crowd was too heartbroken by Mickelson's and Colin Montgomerie's collapses to give him any appreciation, although he was already in the clubhouse by then. If Glover had won by five strokes, he would've been a celebrated underdog, but for Mickelson to come so close and meltdown for his fifth time and still never have won a U.S. Open, and for Duval to go from 1st to 882nd in the world and then to tie for the lead here...the fact is nobody wanted Glover to win, while he did shoot the lowest score the crowd felt the other guys deserved it more. Sort of the same when Cabrera won the Masters, after Kenny Perry melted down during the round of his life. Nobody wants to see that.
June 22, 200917 yr Heh, well he did call himself 'such an idiot' after winged foot. What's sad is the press simply wouldn't shut up about it. Every poor round he played after that was attributed to the trauma and stress left over from that final hole. If he had demons following him, the reporters certainly made sure he knew about them. :dozey:
July 18, 200917 yr I'm watching! I'll be glued in front of the telly tomorrow cheering on the English pair, but if Tom wins I'll be just as happy!
July 18, 200917 yr thanks for the edit oh righteous Moderator...I mean Admin....I mean site owner...I mean kaiser... :thinking: :D
July 18, 200917 yr nice! was it a links course? I should think lost balls are lot more common in britain than America for that reason. I played this morning and beat my dad 38-40 in nine holes. :D
July 19, 200917 yr Its been deadlocked for the last five holes. Watson isn't putting well, and Westwood is really confident but he keeps getting into trouble. Anyone's tournament.
