Golf USPGA and EUROPEAN Tours

[iDon]

Hey Golfers,

I thought we would begin a new thread with a little chat around the tours. I have been watching more and more each week. Following both websites for previews and news just to keep up and imagine that I could one day hit the ball that straight.

PGA heads to Pebble Beach

http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/at-t-pebble-beach-national-pro-am.html

Has to be one of the most amazing views for golf going around.

European tour heads back to South Africa after a few cracking events in Dubai. The field doesn't really have the big names going around but I don't mind that. Good to see some different golfers suit up.

Hopefully a few others like following the events and not just playing!

Predictions? Thoughts on the early season tournaments?

In terms of course design it's hard to imagine two courses further apart in quality than Pebble Beach and the venue for the Tshwane Open which looked like a bad version of Albert Park.

In fact I've watched bits of tournaments for years in South Africa and bottom line I'm not sure that there is a decent golf course in the country.

Old Charles wins by 8 strokes, dominates the South African golf and rarely wins away from home I think that is telling you something about the state of golf there.

Thought Mickleson was back to his old best, missed a 5 footer on the last to force a playoff.

Onto this week, will put something up today sometime.

 

[iDon]

Spieth misses the cut. Oopsies.

Adam Scott and Marc Leishman both inside the top 10.

 

[iDon]

Adam Scott chips in on the last to take a share of the lead at -14.

Bubba, Dustin, KJ CHoi and Kokrak still out on the course.

My favourite driver as a kid. If you say so Nige!

damn thats alright. Might have to look at that.

The blokes I look at one week seem to perform better the following.

Scott and Garcia leading the show at the Honda classic. Scotty putting together a few solid weeks in a row now.

 

[iDon]

OH and Scott had a quad bogey on the 15th.

There is hope for us all.

 

[iDon]

Adam Scott is champion.

3 top 2 finishes from his last 5 starts.

Shoots an even par round and takes the victory by one stroke.

 

[matt_897]

Nice win, despite the issues with the putter he is one of the greatest ballstrikers going around. Wanted that win under his belt badly.

Is that grey hair can I see?

Big time greys. Him and Garcia embracing after like a couple of silver foxes.

I will be having a look today. Plenty of time off at school = plenty of research!

 

[iDon]

Quick glance, Dustin Johnson. Perhaps.

So back him next week

DJ - the defending champ...he certainly fits the criteria of a long hitter

I'm tipping Brooks Koepka fwiw

 

[Nelso]

Blue Monster is a bomber's course as evidenced by the last 2 winners - DJ and JB Holmes

This article says it all

http://www.cbssports.com/golf/eye-o...alls-doral-worst-golf-course-ive-ever-caddied

No short hitter off the tee has a chance

 

[iDon]

I think I am on Bubba train.

 

[iDon]

Marcus Fraser and Adam Scott both started well.

My main man Bubbba dropping plenty of birdies (6) with some dang bogeys.

Brookes -1

 

[iDon]

Adam Scott is in some form. 2 strokes up halfway through the day.

My man Bubba not far off

 

[Pklz]

Great to see Rory firing on all cylinders today. Adam Scott looks really comfortable out there right now, hope he can keep it going!

 

[toxic]

Rory will win Augusta

 

[iDon]

DJ looking good. Him Scott and Rory combined for -24 today.

How many birdies been on the blue monster this week? (18th)
