Well done, Tenacious!

Thanks for hosting, MD.

If you want a break, I’m happy to take the reins for The Open Championship.

The scrutineers are running their eyes over the final calculations. Suffice to say there has been an incredible last day comeback. Once the final totals have been double and triple checked will post the results.

Take your time - they‘ve only finished the vote count of the last Victorian Senate spot. Unfortunately that went to one of Clive’s brain dead acolytes

Agree with the sentiments here. Fantastic tournament, awesome golf course. Love the way it challenged players, allowed for so many different approaches and couldn't just be overpowered. Who would have thought you'd see a downhill par 3 of not much more than 100-120 yards or a 315 yard straight par 4 cause so many issues in a major. And what about that bunker shot from Fitzpatrick on 18, and the steel of Zalatoris. This might have been my favourite-ever US Open.

Bloody hell - I just posted this comment here and then saw the actual results.

Well that was a big surprise and in the moment I certainly don’t have speech at hand.
Thanks Jazzman for organising it - it’s a good little comp.

Cheers all

Yeh, it was super. And the second shot to the Par 5 8th, what a super hole. Risk-reward everywhere on that course.

Glad the bloke that won actually played a near flawless final round. Seems a decent guy too.

Thanks MDJ and well done Tenacious.

I suggest Redford's side be named The Sharks in perpetuity.

 

[Redford]

Well done Tenacious and thanks for running Miles. Burns and Harman….I’m coming over there !!!

Ah well, won the cash in the sweep at the golf club so all good.

Great US Open. Sensational. Right blend of difficulty and scoring capacity. Great course, tight finish. Brilliant.

Well done Tenacious, came from the clouds to knock over the raging $1.01 favourite Red.

Well done all, and cheers MD for running. Heaps of fun.

Looking forward to the BO, safe to say I have 6 golfers on my never again list.

Ping have blown their sponsorship tactics. Fitzpatrick uses Ping irons and fairway woods. But not a skeric of brand anywhere that I can see.

Well done Tenacious, you came home like Bernborough. Thanks for running it MDJ.

Would also like to offer my congratulations to Tenacious for a terrific come back!

I really do enjoy this comp so thanks again MD Jazz for doing the hard yards to make it happen.

Do many use Ping on tour?
What is most popular?

Red deserves the kudos he started it and had the IP.

A number of popular brands. Depends on what equipment eg irons, drivers, wedges, putters, balls.

Would a single player have different brands for driver/irons/wedges?

Would a single player have different brands for driver/irons/wedges?

Yes they can, Scheffler signed on with TaylorMade a few months ago, prior to that he didn't have an equipment sponsor, meaning he could use a mix of clubs.

Pretty sure that golfers who do have an endorsement can use a couple of different clubs. Their contract manufacturer will stipulate that they have to have a certain amount of their clubs in their bag.

Would a single player have different brands for driver/irons/wedges?

I was reading what Fitzpatrick has in his bag yesterday and found it interesting

Driver - Titleist.
3 & 7 Woods - Ping.
Irons 4 & 5 Ping I20, 6 thru PW Ping S55.
Wedges 52, 56 & 60 deg all Titleist.

Many different shafts in use too. Most of it is double dutch to me.

 

[Redford]

Would a single player have different brands for driver/irons/wedges?

Yes. A lot of players use a particular driver brand, irons brand, wedges brand, putter and ball. Often a mix. Some use a consistent brand through all clubs, but the majority mix and match. A lot of players view certain manufacturers to be better or more proficient in respect of a particular piece of equipment.

Generally a club sponsor (eg they’re plastered all over your bag) wants you to use their irons as a minimum.

Wow. I suppose they trial so many different setups that they can get the perfect combination of club/shaft etc etc

I've never hit a vokey wedge but loved my old Tietlist driver (have a Taylor Made M1 now)
