Golf Australian PGA Summer of Golf

[Chip Scab1]

Was ready to watch live morning coverage before heading out there only to find that there isn’t any. Was good while it lasted

All the headline Aussies teed off early yesterday, so that means they tee off after 12 today (just in time for the coverage to begin).

It's a pleasure doing business with Ch9 after years of Ch7 idiocy.

So you’re an expert on golf and obviousness too?

And could’ve opened for Australia.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Rory may want to get a move on to make cut

 

[HoldMyBeer]

They're shit scared of the greens aren't they?

The Aussie pros back 20 years ago used to bang the short putts in the back of the cup so the long putts weren't a worry either. Shearer comes to mind ----

 

[HoldMyBeer]

The horrible putting is from those who are unfamiliar with the greens and that one needs to take into account that they fall towards Port Phillip Bay…. Amazing but subtly true

[TennisPlayerAndy]

On the number.

Would want to play 17 and 18 well.

You’ll have to be there early to see him tomorrow.

 

[HoldMyBeer]

U make the cut?

U know the course?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Don't they count air swings any more?

 

[chickenonachain]

Don't they count air swings any more?

Who had an air swing?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Who had an air swing?

Rory

 

[chickenonachain]

[toxic]

Don't they count air swings any more?

And yes it was counted

14th hole i believe

 

[Gavin Excell]

Heard different accounts that PGA changed rules on this a few years back but no sure how accurate that is

I’d say pretty inaccurate

Every bay, beach, river, creek course.

Putts break with gravity

 

[sideswipe]

Watching the Rd 2 replay just heard Brenton Speed call Ivo Whitton “Evo”, and Carnegie Clark “Carneegie”. Hurtful to the ears.

 

[HoldMyBeer]

Putts break with gravity

I'll add a couple--- and the influence from the bay.... and also the influence from wind.... and also influence from the grain

I know the course intimately

Explain the “influence from the bay” please? You’ll need to get a bit scientific

 

[sideswipe]

MWL back to being the unstable element

 

[JoinDate]

dont forget to yell out mashed potato

BA-BA-BOOOOEY!

Cannot stand how Australian broadcasters have this fetish for inserting random commentators into sports they've got no idea about. Speed and Hudson add zero to this coverage except making it obvious they've got no knowledge of the game.

Could easily have left this to the actual experts.

Came here to whinge about this campaigner, again.

Depends on the moon phase.

Makes sense. Play more break at low tide as the grass is getting more desperate for the water?
