Can’t find a thread so I guess I’ll start one.
Should be some good scoring, particularly in the fourballs.
Course is in great nick (played in the Vic Foursomes there at the end of October) and with the rain we’re having right now it will only get greener.
Will be interesting to see who gets out of the blocks early, hoping for a close event!
Nothing but an exhibition and a nicely paid holiday for all the golfers.
According to Yahoo Weather currently, Oakleigh South (where Metro is) will have daily high’s between 13 & 19 degrees Celsius (56-66F) for the remainder of the week.
Ordinarily that would help my countrymen but Knox and Laird have spent more time in the US that Scotland so I'm not buying it.
Too bad Emiliano Grillo isn't playing.
None of them are playing Friday, the tournament is suspended so as not to interfere with the Phil/Tiger match.
Course could be quite soft in the morning, fair bit of rain going on tonight!
they would be complaining about the heat!
Those sandbelt bunker edges are one of the most beautiful things in the game.
Would have been better if Tiger/Phil were a team here rather than playing The Match. Times change but they would have been following in the footsteps of Nicklaus-Palmer, Palmer-Snead and so many other great winning teams over the years, rather than playing in the obscene money match.
Must say I'm surprised that the field is as strong as it is. OK, not the top 2 best in every country but still surprisingly strong teams for many nations, considering it's off season, and the guys involved cannot be enlisted only with petty cash appearance money. Either this ISPS is really solid, or the guys must really like the tournament and the venue. One would think that they should spend some time with their loved ones, now that all tours are done with. That would be the short term goal for me if I had that kind of golf in me. To live la dolce vita exactly like myself and my family wants to after all that travelling. From November to March.
But maybe, they think in terms of retiring for la dolce vita for decade after decade once they quit at 40, then they need to stack up dolores all year round to make the cash last the remaining lifetime. But Langer still seems to take some interest in travelling around. He cannot possibly have the dough as inspiration?
In Italy it's very cold, so maybe they shifted doing the Dolce Vita later on /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> plus, course it's fantastic!
