Golf 2021

[BroxburnHibee]

Not a great start to the new year for Uphall Golf Club.

[Hibee87]

Totally destroyed from latest pictures I've seen. Such a shame, been in a few times for functions and playing course.

No idea how it started? I heard Deer Park was broken into last weekend, could be little *******s doing it and started deliberately.

[AugustaHibs]

Nice to see they’ve installed a trampoline on the 17th green at sawgrass

Would love to see the stats, from what I've seen of it just about every group, at least one has gone in the drink

The stats must be horrific,

Dechambeau just hit a driver 9 iron on a par 5 with wind in his face

Some incredible golf yesterday in the World Matchplay

Garcia hole in one to beat Westwood in the play off to win his group
Macintyre drove the 18th for eagle, getting the half point required to top his group, which included Dustin Johnston
Great risk and reward golf course
Only one of the top 16 seeds make it out of the group stage, Jon Rahm
Hopefully a European winner in Ryder Cup year.
Pouter, Fleetwood or Macinytre would be my bets

[Hibs90]

Masters bets

MacIntyre E/W
Westwood E/W
Morikawa E/W

Outright:
Thomas
Rahm
McIlroy ( I know I know)
Spieth


Also Rory to miss the cut at 4/1 was too good to turn down.

[greenlex]

Johnson win
speith win
thomas win
westwood e/w
casey e/w
Garcia e/w
Ill maybe have another bet after the first couple of rounds.

I was waiting for a price on him missing the cut and that is decent!

I’m backing Speith. He’s just about coming to the boil at the right time after a few months of being up there without ever seeming like he’s right on his game! Hell of a talent.

I backed DJ months ago in multiples bet thinking he was a standout but his form recently hasn’t been as inspiring.

Few smaller each ways on likes of Homa, Zalatoris and Munoz. But it’s Speith I’ll be cheering!

Really really looking forward to it. Controversial but it’s very easily the best major for me.

Lots of electrical activity forecast for Friday. Might not see any play that day.

[Hibee87]

Robert McIntyre E/W
Cameron Smith E/W
Shane Lowry E/W
Dylan Fritelli E/W

Lucky 15 for matches today:

Gary Woodland
Matthew Fitzpatrick
Justin Thomas
Jordan Speith

What the hell is Byson up to with this 4.5 degree driver!! 7/1 for him to miss the cut seems tempting.

[Dalianwanda]

Rory blown it already...Probably come in with a 67 tomorrow

One of the best swings on the planet but his head is all over the place.

[Hibs90]

4/1 for Rory to miss the cut was too good to turn down and probably the easiest bet.

Guy at work got 7's or 8's before the start on Bryson to miss the cut, wish I had got in on that action

[Hibs90]

What a run this is from Rose.

https://i.gyazo.com/2068d4dd91399d49686ceff81fbdf7e2.png

Probable birdie coming up at 17 aswell. Just ludicrous.

Just coming on to say he has put together a phenomenal round. Hope he can hold on, my bets aside as I always liked Rose...he does tend to have a bit of an issue with bottle sometimes, but certainly putting himself in a good position

Got him at 66/1 after he eagled on the front 9 to go level 👌

[Dalianwanda]

Great going from MacIntrye today..Even pars gonna be well up there & sets him up. for the weekend. Brilliant in the first place to make the cut on his debut

[Lendo]

Took Justin Thomas to win, with Reed and Garcia each way.

Thomas can come back flying in the last few holes. Reed looking steady. Need Sergio to step up though.

I’m on Spieth to win and Zalatoris each way. Confident Spieth now has a favourite’s chance going into the weekend.

[Hibs90]

Big thank you to Rory for providing the funds for my new 3 wood for missing the cut:aok:

[greenlex]

Bets all look goosed so “come on Bob” :thumbsup:

[AugustaHibs]

Robert macintyre has done absolutely superb this week, better than many would’ve hoped for imo

[Dalianwanda]

Hes been brilliant, hopefully another couple under par today can get him a top ten finish. He must have a good chance of getting into the Ryder Cup team this year. Very steady trajectory career wise, taking it all in his stride.

Only annoyance is the lack of coverage on Sky for him and the lack on mentions on the bbc golf updates

[HibernianJK]

Got Macintyre each way so hopefully manages to scrape into the top 8! Last 2 rounds have been excellent and coverage has been minimal. Playing with Finau today which is a great pairing. Hopefully finishes strong!

[greenlex]

The coverage of Macintyre is poor but if you download the Masters app you can see every shot more or less as they happen. I have it on along side the sky coverage. Go into the leaderboard and click on the players name. His card comes up with video available of every shot. It’s really very good.

[hibeg]

I had a feeling he would do well this week. Augusta seems to suit the lefties with Bubba, Weir and Michelson all winning.
Bob has never missed a cut in any of the majors he has played, think this is only his fourth admittedly
Indeed he has missed very few cuts in all his professional tournaments, shows a good level of consistency
He seems to have the strength of character to go to the top in the game.
I would think he will be one of the wild cards for the Ryder Cup if he doesn’t make it automatically.
Harrington would have noted he won his match play group which included DJ and Kevin Na who is a fearsome match player

[greenlex]

I use David Burns at Kingsfield for coaching . Good Hibby and try and see him up there at least once a year at the beginning of the season or when things have got horrendously bad. Anyhoo. He coaches Bob. He told me a few years ago Mcintyre was the real deal. His work ethic is second to none.

[007]

Matsuyama looking strong, though as we know, anything can happen on the back 9 on Sunday at August.

[Hibs90]

Bit boring tbh.

[Hibrandenburg]

Bit boring tbh.

Aye, Matsuyama just has to keep the heid. Can't see any drama happening now.

[Tobias Funke]

How often do you see players lose their bottle on the back 9 on Masters Sunday?! It got interesting for a bit there but think Hideki will see it home now.

[hibeg]

Well done Bob McIntyre, invited back next year by finishing 12th. Great debut.

[ACLeith]

Got there in the end but made it tough for himself. Spieth and Leishman hung around at the back of the green to congratulate him, a touch of real class. Did anyone here have any money on him?

Nah. Usually bet him in the majors too. Had a look yesterday at the rain delay and he was around 10/1. Thought I’d hold off till the end of the day and he ended up 5/6. Lesson learned.

Chasing pack was disappointing today. Didn’t really land a glove on Hideki.

I really like the cut of his jib. His drive in at the start of the week was equally amusing. :thumbsup:

I played in my first medal yesterday and submitted my first card for the handicap. I've registered with the ClubV1 app, and howdidido but when I go to select my club it says I am not linked, I presume this will be the case until I've submitted my three cards and i'll then be linked?

[BroxburnHibee]

Does anyone else's club use the Scottish Golf app for booking?

Turnhouse has recently moved to it and its causing chaos as its clearly not able to handle the traffic when lots of members log on to get a time.

[greenlex]

We use V1 Dave. No issues.
Another weekend and a couple of scores whilst not particularly great both will be in my 8 for averaging purposes and will see the handicap move slightly south. :thumbsup:

Anybody used the top tracer bays at Melville golf range? If so, how did you feel your numbers stacked up?

Not used it but heard a few people say it is good.

Do you need to prebook or just turn up?

I booked it but that was bank holiday Monday. Not sure to be honest. It was very busy but there’s quite a few bays. I think the data is about 20- 30 yards out. My numbers were consistently that compared to the numbers I use on the course. Just wondering if others were the same or I just had a ropey unit.

I found that everything was showing slightly left, ball flight would always came off left even if going straight down the middle

That might be the aim point. I think you have to tell it where you’re aiming. Distance and direction. Certainly direction.

[Hibs90]

Melville is my go to driving range and to be honest it's gotten ridiculously busy over the last year or so to the point where people who just showed up would be queuing to get in so they had no option but to make it bookings only.
I'm not a fan of the TopTracer stuff personally, far from convinced its accurate and I usually just book one of the two remaining PowerTee bays.


https://www.edinburghindoorgolf.co.uk/ - uses trackman instead for those looking to get numbers

[blackpoolhibs]

Anyone watching the live golf from Adeje Tenerife? The leader has taken 5 off the tee at my local course when i lived there. :faf:

In all the times i played that course, it never happened to me or anyone else i played with, Boltonhibs came close. :wink:

[greenlex]

Poor weekend scoring wise but inches away from an ace on the 8th at Newbattle today.

Was up there last year and thought the same using the normal bays, the balls were rubbish

Great weekend for Peebles Golf Club’s rising star, Craig Howie, on the European Challenge Tour event in Sweden, winning by 7 strokes, for his first victory. He’s been threatening to win an event for some time and, now, the monkey’s off his back.

[northstandhibby]

Great to see Ireland's Seamus Power doing well at the PGA Palmetto tournament and Scotland's David Drysdale in the European Tour Scandinavian Mixed Tournament. Not saying either of them will win but still really good to see them up there near the top of their respective leaderboards.

Just plain weird. It says the players laughed it off but there's surely a significant security issue there that some random punter can do that? A golf club can be a scary weapon.

Marshaling each day. Plenty room to see everyone you want to see. A long course, even to walk round

Was there today. Only tried once to get food at the entrance/village, but was not taking orders as too busy. Would say the pizza place at back of 9th and back of 15th were easier for food, however recommend taking some rolls etc with you. The app, when getting a signal, was great for a beer at each point (download the NOQ app) order on app, and within 2 minutes or so walk up and it's there. Lovely course, fair bit of walking but easy to follow groups due to reduced capacity. Might be a bit worse if everyone follows leaders on Sunday mind. Recommend going to the tour site and getting the map and have a pre plan for routes.

I’m thinking Tommy Fleetwood or Matt Fitzpatrick won’t be far away this week at Royal St George’s but come on Bob.

I've bet Fitz, and have a hunch for Westwood - which I have never had before.

Rahm, Spieth and Thomas won't be far away IMHO

[Hibs90]

Does anyone know of any outdoor grass driving ranges in Edinburgh or roundabout?

Getting pretty sick of hitting balls off a mat and would like to practice on actual grass.
