Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

The world’s leading golfers will be at Royal Birkdale in July to compete for golf’s oldest and most coveted trophy – The Claret Jug. There won’t be a shortage of special memories. Emotions are let loose when legends and near legends pass each other on golf’s world stage. Thousands of spectators (often called the most knowledgeable in the world) will flock to see their favorite players in action. You could be one of them.

The 137th British Open will be held at Royal Birkdale Golf Club and in preparation for the 2008 British Open, Royal Birkdale has been lengthened by 154 yards and upgraded in several other areas, Royal & Ancient Golf Club officials have announced. The new layout in the seaside town of Southport, England, totals approximately 7,122 yards.

One of Britain's finest golf clubs and host to two Ryder Cups, the Walker and Curtis Cups, the Women's British Open and the Open Championship, Royal Birkdale has been rated as one of the best courses in Britain. The stunning coastal resort of Southport is host to some of the finest links courses in England. This is the home of Royal Birkdale.

The Open was first staged at Royal Birkdale in 1954 when Peter Thomson won the first of his five Open Championships and he conquered again at Birkdale eleven years later in 1965. A further six Open Championships have been staged at the Lancashire course which many believe is the best English course on the Open rota. This famous challenging links course last hosted the Open Championship in July 1998 when Mark O'Meara beat Brian Watts in a play off.

Also, the BBC is reporting that Padraig Harrington may not play due to a wrist injury.

That kinda sucks for last years champ.

I needed 10 or less strokes on the last two holes to finish under 100 and parred the par 3 17th. Then I hit my only bad drive of the day on 18 (par 4). I jacked around and didn't go for the easy recovery and hit my second shot into the water. So I ended up with a quadruple bogey 8 and total of 100.

:-)

Oh well, it was a nice day out anyway.

One of my wife's contacts at work is getting us on at The National on August 8, so I'm really looking forward to that. Anyone else here play that course? How tough is it?
It is a nice track, you will enjoy it.

Sounds like your hitting the ball pretty good. Short game and scoring come from a ton of practice, keep it up, you will get there.


Pumped for the open this week, should be some good (or bad) golf
