2) Who the hell really wants to play that course? I get all the history and respect. But really, 50 degrees, rainy and 40 mph winds? In friggin' July? What a shit hole Scotland is. I can think of 500 other courses I'd rather play.
3) Best thing about this tournament is it's 5 hours ahead. Like Wimbledon, it's nice to get up and watch in the morning with coffee. Now I know how the west coast guys feel about Sunday morning football.
4) Oostie is my pick...

1) That's what the history of inventing the game affords you. Deal with it...
2) Me! Looking at it right now, it's BEAUTIFUL. Compared to the ****ing bullshit 100+ degrees I've suffered through a couple/three times a week for the last many weeks, and the ****ing sticky-ass humidity, I'd be more than happy to need a sweater-vest for a change.
3) No comment, no real opinion either way..
4) I'm really enjoying watching Dunne. Might not win, but it's fun to see a young man like him compete...
What I
bolded) You can **** the **** off my friend! Obviously you've never been to Scotland! IOW, a good rule of thumb is you only stay in the south of England long enough to land and get a rental! Scotland is not just awesome, it's ****ing totally awesome! The people there, like northern Ireland, are simply wonderful! And their countries are as beautiful as their people!
