Golf

Lovin the Sony. Because of the time difference, featured groups for a few hours in the morning, followed by full field coverage from 11 am.
 
Besides the fact this is unreal talent, his swing was actually better back then (2014) before he turned pro.

Great to see Matty Griffin win today. Terrific performance.

And loved listening to Matk Allen, he's the best golf commentator in Australia. Would like to here him on the Aussie golf shows rather than the likes of Gow/Ogilvy/Anasta.

Tough day at the AA today. Bloody *smile* Melbourne weather again. Very very windy. Rain early. Another *smile* Summer.

Anyway, golf was pretty good all things considered.

Could you fit it in tight on the left here with a 45 kph wind blowing right to left ?

Reckon I could Red.

Take aim at the edge of the left hand side bunkers.

Would suit my 60 kph slice perfectly.

Heh heh. That is exactly how I would visualise it pre shot.

In reality one of 2 scenarios plays out.

1. In trying to cut it in I pull it left and leave myself 50 yards left of the target. Or
2. Top it badly leaving myself 80 yards short.

Either way I’m wedging in and hopefully only 2 putting.

What course is this by the way? Looks in mint condition.

The first outcome wouldn’t be too bad here. You’d be chipping across the green after opening it up to the pin. The second outcome you can’t access the pin.

Yarra Yarra.

How is the amateur shooting 60 and leading a very strong field in the US!

Thomas a super round also. Shuffles putting woes continue. 99th in putting for the tournament, although the rest of his game is going pretty average too.

Poor ole Snuffler. Bet the commentators still pump up his putting improvements. He’s made little in my mind. Looked nervy again so far this year.

Yeh, he missed a couple of pretty standard ones on the low side that I saw.

It has to impact you at some stage. MW Lee hit less than half his fairways and about 11 GIR and had 6 under yesterday.

Can’t remember who it was, might have been Kisner, but they pointed out the other week that Snuffler’s eyes are nowhere near over the ball. They showed old and current set ups and he’s like 6 inches short of having his eyes directly over the ball. View being, that a simple change is all that’s needed and not all this other mullarkey like new coaches, shorter putter etc etc

Great to see the A win. Amazing.

Shuffles hit 18 greens in the final round had 29 putts and still shot 7 under
