Off Topic The Golfing Thread

Its so fcuking annoying, the swing is really simple, turn your body and keep your balance, arms stay connected.

So why do we mess up...

Ps a like my 2 iron, except it has morphed into a hybrid 2

 

The best advice I ever received has been great for me. When I go to the range before playing I spend 5 minutes on long irons and woods, and spend 30/40 minutes on chipping and putting...My short game has saved my about 10 shots a round since that tip.

 

I'm slack if i'm honest. I never warm up or practice before a round and i've never had a lesson

 

Nor has Bubba Watson

 

And Bubba's never taken 5 to get out of a bunker. I could teach him a thing or two )

 

Warming up... its obvious we should...for me in particular, the guys I regularly play with know that can probably go a few holes up until the 5th or 6th, until I have warned up!. If I don't warm up and go straight off, I need to be liberal in the use of WD40!

 

We use port or grappa, much more enjoyable

 

The Group CEO of the company I work for in The UAE is a born and bred Mackem, there are a few of us over here and we play golf together now and again...This is the shirt he just bought us 2022.... How good is this ??

 

XXL if he wants to send me one out in Oz

 

Any of you lot into the golf/masters?

my job has tv in the background and will hoy a tipple on

any tips lads and lasses?

 

My least favourite of the Majors. When they decided to call fans/supporters ....patrons, then they lost the meaning of what golf is about. Furthermore there are fewer players in the Masters than any other Major golf tournament; arrogant ****ers.

I'll watch it but if Danny Willet can win it then anyone can. So its a difficult one to predict. Personally I would like to see a resurgence of Dustin Johnson or anyone other than Jordon Speith.

One player in form is the Aussie Cameron Smith. Worth a punt but betting on golf is a lottery. Good luck

 

I'd like to see Smith do well. good solid player

 

I'll dip into it. Mainly in the late evening. Scotty Scheffler winning loads recently so won't be good odds. Hoping for a British challenger. Maybe Fitzpatrick (if he's in it).

 

I'll go for Victor Hovland with John Rahm as a next best.

 

2 good picks. (still waiting for my fat bastard shirt) )

 

Nearly as tedious as snooker...and very bad for your back!

 

Didn't know you're serious.... I can arrange one ...no problem

 

I will be glued to the masters. One of my favourite sporting events. Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffelle would be my two picks for a punt at this stage. Joaquin Niemann at a big price might be one to watch as well. E/W pays top 10 in some bookies as well so worth it thinking of that.

 

I've always fancied a flutter on golf but never sure how it worked.
