Save for a few planted pines, that course could have been a Victorian linksy sand belt type course.
Glad that Broberg won. Those commentators were disgraceful - they were almost cheering for him to choke. Talk about over the top negative commentary eg he totally pulled his tee shot on the par 3 17. Yeah he totally pulled it ok. Almost into the hole. Makes birdie.
How good is golf. Anyone can win at anytime.
That online booking for a game is as nerve racking as getting finals tickets.
Ryder cup is at Bethpage Black in 2024, I think it’s about an hour from Manhattan, I think I might go
edit : it’s in 2025 and it’s 1 hour 16 minutes from Manhattan , I like the thought of whacking any yank over the head with a stick who yells out “ get in the hoooooooooooooole”

Really looking forward to the first match. That first tee will be going off tap. Just hope Thomas is ready to be playing from some interesting spots!
And will love watching the McIlroy/Poulter v Cant/Xand match. Just wish I could stay up all night.

Interesting start to the course with 2 potentially driveable par 4's and 2 reachable par 5's for the bombers in the first 6 holes. If the bombers are driving well it presents a distinct advantage. I imagine they will let rip in the 4 balls at least.

You won’t be playing on Sunday. Or Monday either possibly.That online booking for a game is as nerve racking as getting finals tickets.

Yer, sure they were aiming for a linksy style. Apparently the designer, 'Phillips ... went further back in time, to the Netherlands as it existed before much of the country’s low marshland was dyked and drained for farming." Situated not far from "Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park, the ‘Brabant Sahara’ known for its shifting sands. The upper layer of dark sand, a result of the intensive farming of the previous years, was totally replaced.

I didn't think that of the commentators at the time, but retrospectively I perceive what you mean. They were certainly calling it as if witnessing what was going to be a spectacular meltdown loss (Greg Norman at Augusta with Faldo came to my mind!), and he was really sweating on many shots. They definitely jumped onboard Schmid since he was playing flawless golf until one botched shot.
But I just loved the drama of it - bet you loved Broberg's chip in for a bogey on what was looking like a disaster hole! It really brings home the pressure these guys must deal with day-in, day-out in a big tournament.
Reminded me the professional game is just so much about mental composure; at least as much as shot-making ability with your sticks. It's a high-stress way of making a living; we can all get easily fooled by the huge $$ many make. But there's a heap of other pros battling and scraping for a living underneath the glamour top ~100 whatever. So it was great to see Broberg 'stick it up 'em.'
Yeah. For someone as IT illiterate as you it’s a fair effort.

Why's that? I can safely say you know more about it than me. I never understand why some players are better at certain formats. I just thought they were all guns.
Just his putting. It’s not great. In foursomes the putting pressure goes up a notch.
That makes sense. Cheers.
The broadcasters have stuffed up the audio when players have been walking out on the 1st. Pretty poor given the atmosphere it gives to the coverage.
