Can't wait. Love the Open, it's my favourite tournament. Booked the day off tomorrow as it's my birthday and for the start of this and the first day of the Ashes.
Don't have a clue who's going to win, but Big Phil is looking good at 25's

weather is good up here at the moment, and even when its been overcast its still be warm and dry.
Big hitters will have fun if they can stay on the fairway, but im sure they will be heavily watering the course as well to keep it as green as they can.

Are you at the actual open or just in the area?

in the area, probably 30 min drive away this morning
wish i had the time to go down and watch
mcilroy seems to have taken his eye off the ball, literally, since his strong finish to last season...that big nike deal, his tennis bird, I don't know what it is, but he looks a shadow of the player he was last season...
he keeps saying he's not concerned in interviews etc, but I think it's a man trying and failing to convince himself...Faldo had a point the other day, not that I think he should go quite as serious as sir nick did

Also he has to get used to new clubs and balls since the Nike deal

depends on what course you play, like St Andrews the bunkers are huge, and when you see them on camera it doesn't do them justice.... Not sure what one Eernie is in as i cant watch just now...

He tried to be too smart with his first shot, ended up not getting enough clearance and it ended up closer to the face for his 2nd shot. Similar on the 2nd try, and finally on the 3rd he put it beyond the flag. His own fault really.

if the Girl Guides can get away with having a single sex group then I have no problems with the odd golf club having them either
also a lot of gyms have women only sections and times, yet I don't see anyone kicking up a song and dance about that
