Let's all donate to his sandwich fund...the kid needs calories...

Knapp's swing makes Els and Couples look like they have the yips : )

Not sure they would have it in the Republic of Ireland...but I loved playing Ballybunion. But it is a very small town and probably doesn't have the infrastructure. The ugly clubhouse doesn't help : )

Sort of relevant: I've played Spyglass a few times. As a 7 index it is one of he toughest courses I've ever seen. The last time was a fund-raiser and everyone played from the white tees. Spyglass is just over 6100 yards for the white tees, which we were playing. I was getting my butt kicked. Rough was long and wet. Greens were lightning. And pins were brutal. On one hole I looked back, and seemingly 100 yards behind me were the 'Pro' tees..the tips. All I could think was, 'Holy cow, Phil shot 62 on this golf course under tougher conditions from there : )

He may surprise us all and hang it up at 35...I can see that happening.

If Jack looks forward to watching you play golf, you're doing something right : )

Boy, are you in luck...

Seems even to me...

Like in the parking lot at Senior Prom?

Wouldn't take much for me to talk to Cara : )

Does Hatton need to have his clubs constantly checked for loft/lie after all of the pounding they take when he hits a poor shot?

Despite the large population, I did not find Tokyo to be especially 'crowded' other than the subways/trains at rush hour. In fact, it seemed far less crowded than Manhattan just walking around on the streets...

I am not a Matsuyama biographer so I don't know where he is from. I also assume most Japanese will visit Tokyo at some point. Yes, we travelled there and internationally...great experience. Didn't expect to be crucified for adding some humor to the thread...

I knew that. Making a general comment. Unless he is from a hick town, most cities in Japan are similar. I lived there for almost 2 years : )

So did some other hacker named Jack, if I recall...

Which is interesting/ironic in that Tokyo is a maze of tunnels, especially around the subway and train stations. I'm sure he has a personal driver these days...

It's tough to relax in Northern Ireland when you're English...

My life is officially over : )

Welcome to the internet. First time here? : )

Even a 'vanity' scratch wouldn't play the white tees. If anything , it would look bad : )

When Golf Channel switched to the Evian, the announcer said it was 6,300 yards, I believe. I noted it because that is what me and my hacker buddies play most of the time. That course is at 2,400 feet, so it plays even shorter.

I was qualifying the nationality of the announcers because back then EVERY American called it the 'British Open.' Now, they go out of their way to say only 'Open,' and go out of their way to make the distinction.
