Early 8am train check the forecast first though if its pissing down can be like a ghost town on the course during practice

After watching them at the Scottish Open, I think Kuchar might have a good chance in this next week. Obviously Fowler too.

Oosthuisen to win.
Each way bets on "rock on" Tommy Fleetwood, JB Holmes, Bernd Weisberger, Shane Lowry & Branden Grace.
It's a mixed weather forecast for the duration of the Championship and those golfers with a morning start on Thursday and an afternoon start on Friday look like benefiting most from the conditions.

If the weather stays calm then Dustin for me. Was hearing from one of the caddies that the course will definitely suit long hitters perfectly. Maybe even Molinari not as long as DJ but best driver on tour.

Was tempted to go up on Wednesday for the final practice day but £40 to get in. Robbery for that.

£80 for a championship day and £15 to park is just way too expensive for me. Shame as I love going Originally Posted by Godsahibby

It could be argued that with a first tee off time of 6:32am and the last at 16:13pm, then you could feasibly spend about 14 or 15 hours on the course.As far as value for money is concerned then it stands up well with other big sporting occasions.
However St Andrews is a very poor venue with few good spectating vantage points and I'll quite happily watch the action on TV.Last edited by Golden Bear; 13-07-2015 at 06:50 PM.

Booked my train tickets today. Arrive at 9am and leave at 6.30. Decent, might see what the tickets say and see if I can get a later train if the tee off as late. Originally Posted by Golden Bear

Meant to be raining though.

Each way bets on Lowry, Rose and Fowler. Sticking my neck out and saying Spieth won't be in the first six.

Enjoy! I'll be watching the action from the comfort of my settee with a few bottles of Millers as company. Originally Posted by Iceman1875

David Lingmerth just played the front nine in 29 strokes.
amazing. The old course looks to be playing wasy this morning. If the weather gets worse the bottom half of the draw will struggle.

The standard of this morning's golf has confirmed my thoughts that the Old Lady is no longer fit for purpose as a Major venue. Modern technology has taken many of the previous hazards out of play and the only defence that the course has is the wind.
So please - let it blow, let it blow, let it blow - at least it makes for interesting viewing!Last edited by Golden Bear; 16-07-2015 at 02:09 PM.

Westy having putting problems. No shock there.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Tiger won't be here at the weekend if he keeps this up! Originally Posted by GlesgaeHibby

I played St Andrews in 2010 off the back tees just before the Open (it was odd as the grandstands were up!) and I shot a better scratch front 9 than he did today.
I fancy Dustin Johnson too if things stay benign as he's looked extraodrinary so far today. So has Paul Lawrie

Zach Johnston is looking like he could be a real contender this year. He has a low ball flight as well as being a great putter.

After the 1st round Tiger Woods and Tom Watson are joint last on 4 over. Whoever would have guessed that?
It will be an emotional day for Tom tomorrow as it will be his last Open

Crowds looked really poor today watching it on TV, commentators even mentioned that £80 was too much and wondered if the crowds didn't pick up that they should lower the price, with the weather looking pretty nasty for the next few days it won't attract big numbers and struggle to get folk to come to The Open, thinking about going up on Sunday but if the weather is pish then it will be in da house watching it.

Could well be then! I looked at the scores on the ESPN webpage so just presumed they were all included. It did seem strange that Faldo was Originally Posted by Pretty Boy

£80 is too much IMO.
Heard Alliss mention it as well. He thought £50 was enough.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

He's spot on. Add on £15 for car parking as well and it's likely priced a fair few fans out of going. Originally Posted by BroxburnHibee

I've been to 4 Opens and the last 3 times I used the rail service as it's much easier. Originally Posted by Pretty Boy

I love being there sampling the whole atmosphere. You obviously see more on the telly but it's pretty special when you're there.
Too pricey for my pocket nowadays though which is sad.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"
