@EvinPriest @NicoColsaerts @SoudalOpen @GolfDigest One of the great personalities. Hitting a 7i from 185 to 10ft on 17 in the Cathedral Inv turns around and says “we’re pretty good”. Been a joy to watch his Stella career. The RM cap was a cool touch.

@AndrewKirbyGolf If these guys were so committed to prestige over $$ they’d be teeing it up at the US Am etc every year. By definition, Professional athletes should be trying to make as much as they possibly can.

@krisrodrigues14 @mikeclaytongolf @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest Love 5 but 17 has a bit more variety with length and wind direction/ strength and demands a well struck iron every time

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@mikeclaytongolf @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest Ah yes, 15 Commonwealth is great hole. 16w highly underrated
Haven’t seen the others

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

Tom Doak absolutely hitting the nail on the head!

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@EvinPriest Cracking leaderboard. Will be a great Sunday. Aussie summer of golf is back!

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@mikeclaytongolf Stood on the 15th green yesterday and admired the view of 13 and the fairway bunkering. A marked improvement as is the removal of veg on 14th/7th. Outstanding.

Club Drs determining concussion is an outrageous conflict of interest. AFL can’t be taken seriously until there is an independent analysis on high contact incidents. #aflbluesbombers

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@krisrodrigues14 I too have hit plenty of forehand winners….. using my driver 🤦‍♂️

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower Definitely on the right track…
Using linear extrapolation of course!

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower Speith, Thomas and possibly even Scheffler. There are no certainties

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower Not a great sport for linear analysis 😂

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower People underestimate the difficulty of winning Majors. Only 3 players from the 21st century are represented in the top 15 all time Major winners - Phil, Tiger and Rory. For him not to win another is a reasonable assumption, despite his talent.

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@krisrodrigues14 @LouStagner There’s good reason I’d chose to get up and down every time! 😂

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@LouStagner would love a statistical deep dive on this for a scratch golfer and the difference it would make on their scoring. I’m definitely taking getting up & down!

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@LouStagner Is there any data on the average handicap and hole length for a hole in 1. My theory, higher handicaps have more Hi1 as the roll of the ball on the green from a lower flight has more probability of going in! Would love to see some data on this!

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@TomBond_Golf @Luke_Elvy @MattVincenziPGA @SharkGregNorman Both years have had no wind which is extremely rare and the courses main defence.

[Simon Andrew @SimonAndrew71]

@krisrodrigues14 @rippergc_ @livgolf_league Was so good to see how excited he was! What growing the game is all about.
