Bob's Your Uncle: The Open Championship 2012

[Donuthole]

Totally stoked for the Open at Royal St. Anne's this week. It should be interesting, as it's a course where length isn't generally rewarded (If you remember back to 2001, Tiger was in the midst of the most dominant stretch of golf in his career, having won 5 of the previous 7 majors (!) and finishing 5th and 12th in the two he didn't win. He finished 25th at Lytham & St. Annes that year.). Here is a hole-by-hole tour of the course. Interesting note, it is one of the few courses played by on the PGA tour which starts with a par 3.

At any rate, put all your 2012 British Open talk here. Also, we can do clack's picks game here (but I'm not making my picks until later this week).

I am going with Oosthuizen, though I think Westwood, Paul Casey, Rory, and Stenson will be close and have a shot.

Yeah, I like Westwood to break through.

I'm rooting against Tiger. I will win!

Dude, quit living in the past. Typical BYU fan.

You said you wanted 2010 Open talk.

I would be very surprised if even two Americans finish in the top ten this year.

Tiger again rocked the dorky crew sweater over golf polo combo. As usual, it caused the back of his collar to misshapenly poke upward. The golf gods will never let him win another major so long as he's sporting that tacky get-up.

That's more of a Nike issue than a Tiger issue. I noticed the same problem with Francesco Molinari last week at the Scottish Open.

Tiger is Nike as far as Nike golf goes. If Tiger told them "make these sweaters with a v neck big enough that it doesn't don't eff up my collar" Nike would do it in a heartbeat. Don't forget his round at the US Open where he played with his collar all askew even in spite of the v-neck. That was definitely a Tiger issue. Those fugly shoe's he's wearing? A Tiger issue.

I think that's less that case now than it used to be. The shoes, yes (at least, if we are to believe the ad campaign). The sweaters, who knows. I have a hard time believing Nike leaves all style considerations to Tiger and doesn't act without his prodding them.

They do, however, act when he prods them. Which is my point. Apparently Tiger is ok with the sweater-polo mess, as he continues to wear them.

The shoes are awful. yikes. They remind me of the ones Lucy wears from Charlie brown. I liked his all black ones better.

I think Tiger could control that with a little effort. So maybe the blame swings back to him again.
