    I've been trying on and off for 30 years. At my $$$ level I tend to play a lot of shorter courses also, probably would have had a handful if my SKILL level was anything over bad.

    I'm picturing hippie Randy Marsh crushing beers and roasting doobies on the course. Love the new avatar.

    The British Open is almost here, can't wait. Wonder if Rory is going to do it this time :)
    That would be something if he went back to back majors. I can't wait to watch the action. The Open Championship might be my favorite major.

    Love the links style courses! Probably my fave to watch also. Became a big fan while watching Watson get his wins years ago.

    Any of you guys ever play any of the courses over there? I'm only a couple hours from Bandon Dunes but it's always been out of my price range. :(

    Anybody else watching the action this weekend? One of the better Open Championships so far in recent memory. Great to see Watson's ace yesterday and Darren Clarke and my boy Dustin Johnson make for an excellent final pairing Sunday. Also, Ricky Fowler...cut that damn hair!

    Going to be a great Sunday. Phil with a chance at the Open?? That doesn't ever happen. Clarke loooked really good yesterday, if he doesn't implode the tourney could be his. I think Fowler is still too young to win but his performance was definitely the best of Saturday.

    I'm watching.

    Phil tied it up there for a minute. Love the crazy weather. Hope we have a close finish.

    Should be a great finish, but I think Phil will choke at the end. I wouldn't mind seeing Clarke win this one

    I disagree that Phil will choke but Clarke looks like he'll take it down. Especially if he keeps getting the bounces. Love the links golf.

    And I think we can count out Dustin now. Unforced error hitting the ball way OB.

    Poor. He always seems to do it to himself.

    I really hope Clarke can win it. Seems like a good guy, has been through a lot and has had a pretty good career. Dude deserves it.

    Congrats to Darren. 3 majors from Northern Ireland in the last 14 months. Amazing. Must be something in the water up there.
