Any chance Clarke gets the shanks and puts up a 9 on the last hole?

You think of Clarke as a good golfer, and he is... amazing thing is Clarke hasn't finished top 10 in a major in ten years. Hasn't finished in the top 40 in five. And here he is.
Also, how about Tom Watson... right now he'd finish in a tie for 22nd. Not bad for 60+ years old. He just won't give it up. Actually finished ahead of Rory McIlroy. |

Phil is the only golfer I know that can shoot the round of the day and melt down simultaneously.
Ultimately, that's the difference between he and Tiger. It's not physical talent or shotmaking ability, it's that drive to not wilt. Phil just let himself die after that putt on 11.

Yeah, today was a perfect microcosm of Mickelson's career in majors. He'll never change, I guess. I'm happy for Clarke, though. It's a great story.

I palyed 9 holes today. Shot a 38(+2). It felt like a 50!
The hardest thing from this Open was to watch was Mick just gassing it on the back side. He should of shot a 29 on the front......And ee knewit.... Then he just went fool reerun. I won't say that much about golfers but I will here. I feel sorry for the guy but ..what?

I just shot a 39 with two iron shots hit OB. I want to freaking flay myself.

I'm killing myself for saying this, but I think I'm about done with golf. Just don't have the time to get out and play and I really don't want to be a 3-4 time a year golfer. Going out that few times makes them miserable for me. Not that I was very good, but after the last 2 times I played, I just can't handle hitting the ball that horribly.

Awesome. The dude was the Ty Cobb of caddies. Just a completely loathsome one who sucks the penis in every way, shape, and form. Here's hoping he snaps both his ankles in his next rally race.

Hi folks!
Looking for some advice. In e last six weeks I have reluctantly moved from the "baseball" grip to the conventional interlocked finger grip. During this time I've struggled with leaving the club face open. When I do make good contact, I'm striking the ball well and hitting it further than ever. I use a 3 wood off the tee, as I've always had trouble hitting a driver. I usually hit the ball 215 - 220. Playing with this grip I get may hands working together and have been hitting the ball in the 240-250 range, with a long drive of 275 on a 470 yard par 4. I'm really struggling maintaining my swing throughout the round. I think I begin to go over the top and hitting huge slices off the tee or even with an iron. Example: I played Saturday and started off hitting great shots going par, bogey, par, par, par, par. I'm on the 7th hole at +1 (and thinking great thoughts) When it all comes apart. Slice off the tee on a 380 yard par 4, hit approach fat and drop it in the water. Follow that with a drop and blade my wedge into the high rough for another lost ball penalty, and three putt for a +4. Hole 8 175 yd par 3. Pull my tee shot 15 yards wide of the green, because I'm afraid of leaving th club face open and slicing the ball into the woods, but make a nice pitch over sand and drop the ball within 3 feet. Miss the ****ing putt for a +2. Hole 9 : yank tee shot again overcompensating for fear of the slice hit a tree and it kicks around in there like pinball until it kicks out in the fairway about 85yards in front of the tee. Hit approach, club face open and it goes nearly into the woods 30 yards left of the fairway. Hit wedge onto green and 3 putt on a steeply graded green. So in the end I was + 9 or 10 after being +1 after 6. I need advice on what I can do to help work through this problem of open club face. |

My biggest problem is alignment with my top hand. Have to consciously make sure it's over far enough.
