If I get chance to hit the range before a round I’ll start off with SW, go to 7/8, down to 5/6, then hit driver before I play thee first few holes in my head and hit the appropriate club to where I think my ball ended. Will finish with a few half wedges to try and dial in my distances….none of which usually helps me lol

Start off with the driver!!!

I can’t start lower than an 8 iron until the back starts to rotate with the rest of my body!!

Agree, couldn't dream of hitting driver first up, my spine would shatter!

Tend to hit pitch shots, then full wedges, a couple 8's, then a couple 6's, hybrid, 5 wood, driver, then finish on the club I'll using on the 1st tee.

Bryson taking the piss out of this golf course again!

Shame he’s so boring to watch other than off the tee where you’re waiting for him to swing himself off his feet!!

This is an awesome playoff. Reminiscent of Reed-McIlroy in the Ryder Cup.

Played a medal last weekend and played well enough for the majority.

Was 3 over after 8, playing playing the 9th, a par 5, I layed up up the hill, and when I went up my ball was nowhere to be found. No idea what happened and had to go back and hit again, managed to salvage a bogey.

But stuck 2 OB off the 10th and ended with a quadruple. 2 over for the final 8 with a cold putter. Really could have probably finished 1 or 2 over for the back even with the quadruple I missed so many easy birdie putts.

Anyone got the Solheim Cup on? Getting me excited for the Ryder Cup in a few weeks.

Europe really battler hard yesterday to maintain a lead. Hugely impressed with Reid and Maguire.

Maguire doing us Irish proud.

My god American golf fans are the worst after a few drinks in the afternoon though.

American fans cheering missed European putts, shouldn't be surprised but its so pathetic. They'll never change.

Hope we absolute wallop them here.

Popov doesn’t seem up to this standard.

Some great golf being played today. Maguire would have mauled anyone she played.

Delighted for the Europeans.

That's a good warm up for the Ryder Cup in a couple of weeks time.

Maguire was always going to be a star. Been following a lot of her career over here since her and her sister burst onto the amateur scene.

Ryder Cup teams are set, and less than 2 weeks to go until it kicks off. 24th September. I'm absolutely pumped for it.

Delighted for Lowry to get in the team. Poults and Garcia were probably obvious picks too.

What a fantastic 3rd shot from that **** Billy Bonds Horschel to win the BMW!
Actually he seems a nice bloke. Such a shame

Yeah can’t wait for the Ryder Cup. The Yanks look stronger than ever. Luckily they all fucking hate each other, which gives us a sniff!!

If it's any consolation, my flight gets me back home at 5.30pm, just in time for the start of the singles :sneaky:
