Get comfy, there's golf on all day lads.
>>
Will Bestwood finally get one?
>>
I'd be happy if Westwood or DJ wins. They both have choked away some and deserve a major.
>>
The rough looks crazy thick
>>
Fox has been so much better this year compared to last
>>
Can they start r3 before r2 is finished?
>>
>>68621095

No because the cut line won't be official until the completion of round 2.
>>
>>68620870

well yeah, it was their first major. gotta give it time, and whoever hired norman should have been fired on the spot
>>
>>68621224
Well yeah but at some point you could send out some of the top ranked players as they are guaranteed to make the cut.
>>
Pullin' for my man Lee Westwood.

Been hoping he doesn't turn into Colin Montgomerie 2.0 since the late 90's.
>>
>>68621340

The leaders are last to tee off tho. So the first guys out for r3 will be the guys who just barely made the cut.

They gotta wait on this second round to finish, but as soon as the last guys in r2 are finished with holes Oakmont and USGA workers are out rolling the greens and changing pin placements. So round 3 will be able to start as soon as this round finishes.

This

Got no TV, I'm tethered to my 4g tablet on my laptop for internet since I don't have an ISP at my new place yet. Streaming absolutely kills through data so I can't really watch much streaming either. If I end up goin' to a bar or something to watch, I'll just end up burning through money unnecessarily. God damn I am leading a pathetic and cheap life in my new town haha.

Gonna try and catch a good bit of it tomorrow. Haven't been keeping up much, but how much are they expected to get through today? Also, what is the weather forecast for today?
>>
If Zach Johnson wins he'll become only the third player to win at Augusta, St. Andrews and at Oakmont. Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus are the others.
>>
>>68621634
Maybe try library wifi, find a cozy seat and chill for a few hours

Not sure about Brad Faxon's haircut lads.
>>

He's had that exact same haircut since like 1990.

Will the coke man hold the lead or is another collapse imminent?
>>

Collapse. His mind is dulled due to sexual overindulgence with Paulina.

What are some high quality few irons that are a few years old? I don't need the latest and greatest but I have no idea wat was considered good a few years ago
>>
>Rory
>>
>>68622094
Yea I might do that actually. There is a Barnes & Noble right next door with wifi and a cafe and I imagine some nice and cozy places to chill. I wanna catch some of it at least. Is the course as difficult as all of the pre-tourney talk said? Scores look to be about right for an Open. Also, I know I've watched toureys at Oakmont before, but is this a fun course to watch?

>>68622747
Just looked her up, not bad. Her body is a bit lumpy, but I wouldn't mind her disciplining me for an illegal drop.

>>68622839
Collapse. Always collapse. Also >>>>68623097

>>68623412
Can't go wrong with Mizuno irons. Mine are probably 15 years old or so and are fantastic. I always lusted after the forged Callaway Rzr Xs too. I always thought those hit so well and were gorgeous. I'd just go hit up a PGA superstore or something and grab a mat for 20 mins and try out some of their test clubs and see what feels best.
>>
>>68624727
I just wasn't sure what was considered "great" ,so I could know if I'm being ripped off or getting a decent deal
>>
>>68624820
Gotcha. Pricewise I'm not so sure anymore since I've never bought a set of clubs (dad's hand me downs). Obviously there is a huge variety is iron sets. Also it depends on the kind of golfer you are. I would go check out a few golf stores that sell used clubs/sets and just try some things out and price some sets out. Then go back and do a bit of research online and compare. There are a million places that sell used clubs so you should be able to pick a few sets that you like and find competitive pricing. Great is pretty subjective though. Titleist, Mizuno, and Callaway are the more $$ and higher end sets when you buy them new if I remember correctly. But there are tons of types whether you want forged blades or more forgiving irons with cavity-backs.
>>
>hole microphones
For what purpose?
>>
Best place to try out clubs? I heard some places use machines that make it look like you hit further than you do
>>
>yfw Ireland gets btfo twice today
>>
>>68627660

If you have any sort of golf store in your area, there. If not you can try local course's stores if they have em. If not, you can try someplace like Dicks sporting goods.

However I like trying out clubs in person, and then ordering online since it's often times easier to find ebtter deals there.
>>
>>68629049
Are their usually "tester" versions of the clubs? I know they wouldn't be handing you pristine clubs to try but I'm a lefty and I don't want to fuck up some brand new clubs that aren't for testing
>>
>>68629249

Any legitimate golf club retailer will let you hit any club you're interested in purchasing. Dicks usually has an area with a net to hit into. Pro shops in clubhouses will let you try em out on range. And specialized golf stores a lotta times have the best setup for fine tuning what's perfect for your swing.

I know some people didn't get to golf on thursday because of the weather, so does that mean the tournament will end on monday or do they play catchup rounds (like 2 rounds of golf in 1 day to get caught up)
>>
>>68631541

They finished the second round just a little bit ago, and the third round starts in the next few minutes.

Can't go wrong with a budget set of Wilsons.

IF I can't find much information about my golf set, even if its a popularish brand (Wilson), does that mean its probably worthless for reselling

Yes pretty much.

Best resellers are the big brands like Callaway, Ping, Taylor Made, Nike, Oddessey, Cleveland, etc..

>>68641834

You can always get some money outta your clubs, but I wouldn't expect a lot. Could find a pro shop that buys/sells/trades and see what they'd give you for em. Or put em on Ebay. Fedex sells golf club boxes.

>>68642808

It's a good way to practice the mechanics of your stroke. Like release, grip, stance, etc.. But the only way to get better at putting is to putt on real greens.
>>
>>68642808
you won't learn about reading greens like that but like >>68642967 said it's good for practicing your stroke and getting the ball rolling down the line
