In perfect weather the links courses are pushovers, VT. But in coastal Britain, that very rarely happens, so they hurt.

Poulter with a well judged drive (right term?)

depends what you meant? He hit a good drive. lol

Then it's what I meant lol

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

Well judged drive on a links course with windy conditions translates to low and straight, imo. Don't want to get that ball hung up in the breeze or blown left or right by the swallows...

If I hear "The Eagles can Swarm" again I'm going to stab a hobo.

And I would be boned, because I have the "Mickelson" ball flight. High lofted

Why my predictions include 2 Top 10 golfers missing the cut (and singling out Mickelson)

Yep, low and controlled. That's how Watson hung in before, shotmaking and control are key. That's why Phil has no chance, he can only work the ball by moon shotting it, coupled with soft greens with little spin, he's there for the sake of it.

I grew up on a course outside of G'burg with some nasty wind tunnels. Learned to hit it straight and true. Prodigious swings are great at Fall Creek Falls, though...

Any round with intense winds is going to kick Mickelson's ass

I'm pretty sure putts would kick my ass...

I'm sorry, but I can't say Mick falling off the leaderboard hurts my feelings too much....

I'm a Phil guy, but I can't pretend he showed up with a chance to win.

 

[VOLtownUSA]

Fowler with bogey, I'm starting to remember the terms

I can imagine you and I getting drunk and watching a tourney back in '02-'07 and arguing the hell out of it.

 

[crusse10]

I hate Ricky Fowler.
