The forum seems lacking in talk of the greatest game in the world, but Mr Scientist set me thinking this morning with the below....

 

We have always known that Balmedie was a white elephant and his claim that it would be the greatest course in the world was always completely laffable. It's not even the best course within 5 miles of there and there are numerous better in the NE let alone Scotland let alone the UK let alone Europe let alone the world. What he didn't factor in and we all knew was that you can't sell tickets for a minimum of 5 months out of 12. The haar comes in during peak times, July & August to wipe out some days and it's way too cold for tourists in the winter. Plus the price was so ridiculous he was never going to get locals to play it more than once, or occasionally twice or more if a freebie.

While I agree with all of the rest, plus you missed out that he didn't bargain for how long a course takes to be ready for play from new build in our climate, I take issue with how good the course is.

 

Let's forget Trump being a total erse, that's a given. And we'll move past best course in the world because again, that's a helluva tall order, and will always be subjective anyway, and obviously it isn't.

 

I honestly don't think even Royal Snoberdeen can beat it, far less anywhere else in the north east, he truly has built an astonishing layout.

 

What are your issues with the course?

And yet the night you got drunk in a hotel and abused Admin for your swansong finale remains one of Afc Chats lowest ebbes. You can hide out here in your echo chamber but please never try to claim you are above anyone there. You are beyond the pale.

Don’t agree with you there.

Have you been watching? What about the overnight leader at the par 5 just now? The whole green to work with and his pitch didn't even find the green.

Brilliant putt from just off but how often this week are we seeing the rough around the greens (and on approaches) making the best golfers look like amateurs?

Can’t see anyone stopping Brooks making history over the weekend.

It would be a hell of a win now but I hope it doesn't happen. You don't deserve to win majors leaving so many putts short. That one at 6 was disgustingly pussy, in total contrast to his disgustingly arrogant, disrespectful and dismissive words for his opponents both pre-tournament and last night.

Don't get me wrong, I have huge respect for his game, one of the very best in the modern era. I watched him and Tiger on the Thursday at this event last year. I think your prediction should've stopped after the first two words though.

If you're not familiar, did you forget what Scotland's best golfer did to him in the Walker Cup or were you not interested in golf 3 years ago?

Why do you want a guy you don't know to win?

If the truth be told, i know very little about golf. I copied and pasted my study of Cameron Champ from a comment on You Tube. I wouldn't know him supposing I ran him over in a car purchased from yourself.

You don't say?

But why do you feel the need to pollute a thread about a subject you know fuck all about? What type of people do this?

There are some great posters on the hat but people who speak for the sake of it, people who make up shit, people who repeat shit, people who show great sickness in using wives and families in inappropriate references, people who are so retarded they are incapable of a grown-up exchange etc. etc., it would be very difficult not to be "above" them.

You've had your fun. It's time for you to fuck off back where you belong. 

Self-righteous prick.

Bespoke analysis #3.

Has your opinion changed?

What did you think about Casey and Koepka at the 1st?

No as it’s fact not opinion

Thanks to his interview last night, I backed Casey to beat him at 15/8. The golfing gods crucified Monty and they're crucifying Koepka today. The back 9 on Sunday is when the prize gets won. At this rate, Brooks isn't even in contention.

You got that one wrong mate. Hope you didn't lose too much on it.

You got banned from the hat did you not?

Many times but the last time, I banned myself by telling the wanker Bebo what I thought of him.

Whats that got to do with golf? What's your point?

If you cite something as "fact", would you care to show your source? Can you substantiate it in fact-checking terms? Or as you as infantile as others on another forum, lacking any integrity whatsoever?

If you don’t think club head speed effects your ability to play from rough then what’s the point.

you’ve not changed

What's a fact? That you can't see Brooks not winning?

And was it too difficult to give your view of what happened at the 1st? Or with DJ's pitch?

Your further post just came in. Nobody's disputing that club head speed helps in rough. This wasn't the debate. You said that getting the club head to the back of the ball wasn't as important. The data this week proves otherwise. 

So it runs away like a little girl.

Brooks 2nd worst score in the field at present and with 9 holes to go, is only 7 off the lead and tied 29th. That'll fucking teach him for being so arrogant. The rest will be laffin at him. 

Listen brother, stick to flogging Dacia Duster's and leave the golf analysis to Colthard and co. You're out of your depth. 

Just backed Collin at 4/1 ??

Just stuck a pony on Scheffler at 11-2. Winnings being invested straight into my favourite keg at McGinty's. 

Took a sniff at Casey at 10/1

You’ve just cursed Casey

I could ask why and you would say he's just bogeyed but if you had half a brain, you would know that 10/1 was after the dropped shot. So I've saved you making a cunt of it.

Now have the decency to tidy up your loose ends. 

DJ's putting has collapsed today. Needs a total reversal of form on the greens to get back to the top. Putted brilliantly this week, yesterday especially.

Birdie. Joint leader again. Should I cash out for 1.7?

Collin and Casey. Two horse race.

Loads dropping like flies now. 

All over. Putt at 16 to go 8 ahead of Koepka. 

Cashed out Casey at 1.5

Scheffler short of the hole today with every approach and par 3 tee shot bar one. Pussy play like that doesn't win fuck all.
