It is all about the course

As I tap, the first groups are disabled in the Open Championship and, as expected, the wind and there are a few drops of rain falling. Expected to be a steady diet of 30 kph ripple throughout the day. This opening will be all about. For the last few days of practice rounds, if the wind blows, as it is, then you can discard all the names in the atmosphere and guess the winner.

The Royal St George's is a process which can reward you good game, but it can also deal with healthy doses of good and bad breaks. Nothing wrong with this-of links golf. But this tends to discourage players and that makes this low on the list of favorites, open courses. When asked once, when he will rank it in the list of eight courses in Rota, Steve Elkington once is famous answer: "tenth."This year, the R and A tried to take measures to make it more palatable in the process.

Wisely took several heavy rough just off the fairway that was there in 2003. That allowed him to become a little more creative for second shots and the players. Or, it might be best to say forced to be more creative. Whatever the thinking that has designed lots of praise from players. But even the R and A mother nature will not be maintained. If the winds coming off the coast of the English, as expected, anything can happen. While watching Phil Mickelson play a practice round this week, I saw him end up short by hitting a driver full-out, at the same level 3, 243-yard 11th. And not just a little short, but a good 15 yards. On the next hole, Jeff Overton and still couldn't get the ball in the fairway off the tee. This is the kind of things you can see here that makes it fun for the fans and not so fun for players. Course objective. 1 for each player is to stay away from these locations are both watercourses Penal Code. On surfaces, it won't get easier.

The Greens at Royal St. George's are more enabled mechanisms and rolls than any of the other sites openly and with strong winds, it becomes a challenge to remain still and to keep the putts on the line. Martin Kaymer told me yesterday that when the wind is a four-footer can move away from the line six to eight inches. for this reason I think it would be difficult to pick a winner here. You will need a good game and a good holiday and, more than anything, patience.

You may end up with an Iraq that is a great short game that main recovery shots (Luke Donald) or with lots of links and restricted experience (Lee Westwood) or can be any of around 120 other players who can take a break and the couple with some strong shot-making. Yes, even John Daly. Remember the last time around here was Ben Curtis who shocked the world with the victory. So good luck to all the fun is already in progress.
