Keeping myself up late just watching the final round of the Olympics women's golf. Lydia Ko will almost certainly win gold because she just was steadier than the rest of the field.
But Hannah Green? Was she even trying? Could have really contended for gold with just a little more care and effort. Not sure how she wins a bit on the LPGA tour. Such a poor putt. At least did much better than Minjee who was never in the hunt after blowing up rd.2, like her brother although it was Rd. 1 for him.
Overall, our talent in world golf looks very ordinary and no depth. Not sure if it might be better to play this event with a cut. A lot of the field playing 2 extra rounds for absolutely no reason whatsoever - no prize money. Just to record a futile appearance for the sake of it?

Your a little harsh Leon, she I was disappointed that Hannah didn't medal, she was 11 under for the last 54 holes though. A poor first round is what cost her.
Yes, l'm probably just disappointed. Sure that's true; a strong recovery. But l don't watch much women's golf at all so never seen her play much at all.
Just thought she had real chances this final round with good driving and some approaches. But when she had birdie putts, missed badly. Thought her putting stood out for being poorer than most.
Then on 18, could have won the bronze by changing her strategy and going for the green in 2 like many of the women did. Hit a perfect drive only to lay up. Then stuffed a short sand wedge to about 15m left of the hole, again missed the putt for a mere par. On a definite birdie hole for many others.
What was the point in not going for even an eagle, let alone birdie. So what is the point of finishing tied 4th in an Olympic event? Surely you risk it?
The greatest of all time. Even at 84, still plays better than Tiger Woods.
Heard from one of my pupils that Huntingdale and Metro are likely to merge in someway , first I’ve heard of that , any idea if true ???
BS. The members of Huntingdale would love that to happen but Metro consider Huntingdale beneath them. Metro has ZERO need to merge with Huntingdale.
Huntingdale have been looking to merge with anyone and everyone for about 10 years now due to the enormous debt they have.
From my reading it doesn't look or feel like a merger. Long way to go
Have heard the same thing. Although that was from a Huntingdale member. But he is pretty well connected.
He doesn't like the lens that comes with leading or being in the last group or two. He's also not that smart at times. Using the driver on the 3rd was patently dumb. Straight into the water. Didn't look like doing anything else when the obvious play was a 3 wood.
