What's impressive is that after a septuple bogey Tiger then reeled off five birdies in the next six holes. If only he'd been more annoyed earlier in the tournament!
Nice game yesterday - windy, wet under foot, but very decent for mid November.
87 with 3 lost balls....Could have been much better. Hit the ball poorly but scored fairly well.
Best drive up 13th (SI 1) - need to carry it around 250 to get up the top of the hill (usually play for the bottom and then leave around 200 up the hill to green) - Wind behind a bit and my partner egged me on to go for it. Straight as an arrow, 265 carry to the top of the hill. Think I nearly put my back out trying (towering 7 iron to 30 ft and 2 putts for a nice par) - I'm usually very happy with a 5 on that hole to be fair.
Had just booked into Scott Gourlay Golf Technology | Edinburgh | Home before our Tier 4 lockdown was implemented last week.
Heard great things about the place, and whilst expensive I think I'll give it a whirl in January time for a full bag review!

Hi gents...been two long lurking in this thread!
Question on club trackers if anyone has any experiences
I have bough a set of Gen 2 Arccos sensors (no yearly sub) for £90. Apparently these are the best in the business for tracking. Only thing is im not sure if i lke having my phone in my pocket - tbf i havent tried it yet! I could prob sell tehse for £140.
I have been offered a set of Garmin Ct10 for £180 which is tempting me as I have a Garmin Venu watch which i currently use for yardages and score tracking.
Would i be mad to pay more for the CT10s for the added convienence?
Anybody have any experience with the two?

Can't comment on those two personally - I have shotscope v3 - been very very happy with this so far.
Great for tracking all the clubs, idiot proof, you don't need your phone (as it's a gps watch) - very impressed in the 10/15 rounds I've played with it so far.

I'm not a golf person at all, but Peter Alliss's calm, reassuring delivery has often been on in the background here... the human equivalent of birdsong; comforting somehow. And when life gets troublesome I sometimes try to imagine him commentating on the situation to lower my blood pressure.
I may just be weird. But either way, RIP.

Aww no One of the last greats. Can't think of the sport without hearing his voice. He continued working right to the end, respect.

He was an absolutely excellent and iconic commentator. A good round Peter; rest in peace.

Love it! 175 yard 5 wood to about 4 ft, then cans the putt...

Been watching this over the weekend - Charlie Woods has a cracking swing for an 11 year old, looking good for him to progress onto bigger things if he keeps up his current progress.
