The Memorial & Celtic Manor Wales Open

Kdub · **Posted:** 01 Jun 2010, 13:26

Jack the Golden Bear hosts this week.

Tiger returns and faces Phil for the Number One Ranking. Is it possible for both to miss the cut?

Tiger Woods admits that he is not at 100% coming into the defence of his Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village.

Woods pulled out of his last event with a neck injury, and despite rest and treatment, is not yet fully cured.

Woods will go head-to-head with Phil Mickelson, who has closed in on the number one spot in the Official World Golf Rankings in recent weeks.

Ernie Els 20/1
Camillo Villegas 40/1
KJ Choi 25/1

Oliver Wilson 50/1
Johan Edfors 80/1
The Mechanic 40/1 :lol:

Chris 'morning' Wood 30/1

I noticed something in common about two rapidly improving players...

Morning Wood & Luke Donald

What do they have in common?

Both are on fire as of late... and I know why :idea:

Both play with Mizuno Irons

Just like Groomy, Kdub & Me 8-)

Early leaders - all on -3

Alexander Noren
Chris 'Chopping' Wood
&.....

Bradley 'Judge' Dredge :shock:

Have you got him Jonathan, have you ???

My teams are a mess. I didn't even consider him. I got the hump with not being able to get Tiger Woods in for this week and so gave up. I shouldn't have played this year. :roll:

ANelka is the winner ... Nice one :!:

The first time I hit my new forged irons on the range... My reaction was

"This is too good to be true"

Kdub · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 10:22

It brings me to a topic of interest...

Paddy Harrington must be loaded with talent to get by with those Wilson Sticks...

The only clubs I trust are Mizuno, Titleist, and Ping. Some Nike wedges are OK.

I stay away from TaylorMade, Callaway, and other equipment that lacks good "feel" or doesn't set up well at address.

In a nutshell, Pros like Donald and Wood have the "advantage" of playing with top clubs 8-)

I cant believe Poulter is forced to use Cobras :shock:

Jonathan · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 10:32

Has Donald just changed to Mizuno's then? First win in 4 years. I can't believe any golfer is forced to play with a certain brand. A name like Poulter or Harrington wouldn't struggle to get new sponsorship if they felt they needed to change brands.

Kdub · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 11:23

Not so Quiros

hole in ONE !!!

toffeelover · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 12:38

Fran the Man putting us through it today, score up and down like a yo-yo!

Seems to have settled on -2, which will have to do I suppose (he's my capt in the Scotsman/Yorks Post this week) :roll:

Ha ha, kiss of death, that'll be a bogey 6 on the last then :roll:

I think Harrington will point to his Majors haul as evidence of what matters. Likewise Poulter and his WGC title!

A friend got Mizunos a few months back - sure, they look good and his ball-striking with them was much better - but each to their own. Best decision Harrington made a year ago was not switching clubs. Imagine how bad he'd have been if he'd been dealing with that as well as his swing issue? :lol:

I planned on FTM for the Mechanic...

But decided it was time to save transfers 8-)

I know, I nearly fell off my seat when I saw that.

Then realised that meant it must be the right week for me to make some

Kdub · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 13:53

some BR points for Morning Wood please

Now we need the Mechanic to get back in gear :idea:

padmole · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 14:13

Looks ominous for the afternoon guys at the golf in Wales- early holes are leading to bogies which suggests wind getting up.
Not too cuffed for NCG players but suggests that BR may stick with Wood.

Although the weekly occurence of Fasth starting fast has occurred - Eagle on the 1st!!!

I wonder how redge is getting on marshalling

padmole · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 14:54

Better Marshalling in Wales than AMerica. Everyone goes on about playing in the States but how often do you get on the course.
PLAY SUSPENDED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER
Should just commit to 54 holes for US events ! Fair weather woofters ;0)

redgegooner · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 20:27

working all day today .............marshalling starts 7am fri morning....... 8-)

Great start by Justin in The Memorial, 65 (-7), looked like he was turning the corner at Wentworth, so stuck with him in MU#6

That's the sort of comment that would have been useful earlier in the week MU Fan :wink:

Mind you, don't reckon many of us would have brought him in!

padmole · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2010, 23:49

Left Rose as reserve on 1 team - been picking him in Yahoo comp etc as I thought his game was in better shape than his scoring. He will be coming in for The Open !
