The Open Championship- St. Andrews
- Thread starter cshea
- Start date
Not sure about the ESPN app, but there is a dedicated Open app that has live coverage as well if that fails for you guys.
Another option for the ESPN coverage is you can sign up for a 7 day free trial of Sling TV and just cancel before the end of the 7 days.
They're letting folks in for ten quid today, under sixteens get in free with an adult. A lot of people will be catching flights, flying home...it'll be a different crowd on the course and in the stands. I hope it's busy, but it's a great bonus for anyone in the area.
It is a pitch and putt still this morning. The claim is that weather will come in later. With no rough on the course though, bogies are very hard to find, and most seem to involve 3 putts.
So even if the weather comes in as promised I would be surprised if the champion isn't at least -15/-16

Nothing like playing in a customers find raising tournament today with a 1
m shotgun so I can watch most of the final round

All that's going on is Ollie is two shots off the lead on a par 5. Why would you want to see that? This is quality practice range footage.
I'll never understand these networks. People turn on golf to watch golf. No one turns it on to watch the guys talk about golf. Show the fucking golf.BigMike said:
Today will be a day to test the Watch ESPN technology infrastructure. I have already had to restart the app a number of times. I suspect this will only get worse.

Then hits it from the rough on 2 to behind the grandstands / camera tower near the green.
My boss gave me a 3 day weekend last week so I'm home watching. Gonna watch the open the go for a swim. Good day.
oh and i hate Dustin Johnson

I've never been happier to have the option to work from home than today. Maybe the day after Game 6 of the 2013 WS. Maybe.
Ok kid. Get the nerves out of the way in those first two shots. Get up and down and forget about it.
I have a noon lunch meeting. It's okay to skip it, right? It's not really all that relevant to me and no one will really know if I'm not there.

I just cancelled a client meeting by saying that I had an unavoidable conflict, so mark me down as "yes."
You know, I really want Day to win this, but I simply cannot root against Spieth. Guy is playing historically good golf and he's just a pleasure to watch.
I can mollify the dark side of my psyche by rooting for the inevitable Sergio meltdown.

Holy shit, he may have hit two OB?
Edit: If his original tee shot was picked up and it was in play, he's good. (Good being relative.)

He can play his first drive so thats good. To be honest I woudln't blame him if he shot 92 today.
I would have shanked Dunne's second shot into the metal fences or off someones face in the crowd directly in front of him.
Maybe it was my inattentiveness, but I didn't get that either. I did hear them say that he wasn't getting "stance relief" but I have no idea how that would have come into play anyway. But from where he took his drop, it appeared to be about getting relief from the putting surface itself.
Maybe something about a local rule?

BBC have a rules guy in the studio who said he got free reliief cos he landed in a designated putting area.

I heard them mention the stands, but I thought it was 'not because of the stands' or something to that effect? Tough to tell.
Don't want him taking an iron off the putting surface?
I'm trying to imagine the conversation about who to get for a golfing spokesperson for Ace Hardware.
"Let's get Tiger!"
"He's still way too expensive and he's playing like shit. Can't have him."
"What about Hunter Mahan? He can't cost much?"
(Silence, followed by high fives all around.)

I really like this R&A CEO, but I'm assuming they haven't suspended play while he tells us about the Rio2016 Olympics.
This leaderboard is currently crazy. I really hope to have nothing come up in the next 3 hours.
