I saw the first two sets and a bit, then went out to get dinner. Wish I had stuck around to watch it.

What a terrible, terrible sport Serena Williams is.

Agreed s_r, Always has been. Spoilt diva.

What female tennis players have beer bellies, I've not seen any. Serena seems unlikeable doesn't she.

I've just had a few days in Anglesey. A trip to Wales and I got sunburn. Not expecting that!! Lovely place though.

by super_realist Fri Jul 03, 2015 8:24 pm

Kvitova has one, has had for years.

by kwinigolfer Fri Jul 03, 2015 8:32 pm

ben,
Some have it in their bellies, Serena has it in her unfathomably fat arse. Sorry Serena, you bending over is about the most unpleasant sight in anatomy.

by super_realist Fri Jul 03, 2015 8:35 pm

Great effort by Watson, real shame she couldn't get the job done. Must be horrible at the moment for her given that she was two breaks up in the third. Outlook has to be good for her, but this could go down as a big, big loss in future years. I was looking forward to another one of Tennis's unpleasant characters going out.

But impressing how she can move around with that sort of dead weight.

With all the furore about Amanda Boyd recently , I thought I'd google her to see what I'm missing. What's the fuss? A real plain jane. Nothing special at all. Good for a fat ugly slug like Dufner whose bank account makes up for his aesthetic shortcomings, but really nothing that would make you double-take even on Hull High Street.

You see similar ad better in every city on every day. Over-rated.

by Davie Fri Jul 03, 2015 11:17 pm

She has a nice pair of legs and a pulse. Most golfers would be happy with that.

Sergio has had a couple of nice girlfriends in the past though

by pedro Fri Jul 03, 2015 11:18 pm

Don't be coy super_Roy. I'm sure you'd both double- and triple-take her on Aberdeen High Street...
Quite cute and defo well above average for the golf wags.

I'm not saying I would require a paper bag for her, but she's nowhere near the Ivanovic/Hantuchova/Gretsky category of golf "wag".
Her "beauty" is certainly over-stated

by MustPuttBetter Sat Jul 04, 2015 2:34 pm

She's much more attractive than Gretsky. I've never seen it with Ivanovic.
I think Amanda Boyd is 10 out of 10. All about tastes

by super_realist Sat Jul 04, 2015 9:29 pm

Kvitova has packed up her beer belly and gone home.

Now she is stunning.

by super_realist Sun Jul 05, 2015 6:34 am

Never heard of her.

by westisbest Sun Jul 05, 2015 6:58 pm

USA forward.

Had never heard of her either, till I saw a picture of her in a bikini for Sports Illustrated magazine.

Very nice.

Nice to see the Women's World Cup was won by a head coach from Portsmouth . . . . . . .

Perhaps a transfer to the league team could be in order kwini.......

by kwinigolfer Mon Jul 06, 2015 9:28 am

Couldn't hurt, Blue.

Dominating performance by the U.S.,Japan outplayed in every facet of the game; no interference from the officials this time either.

Definitely a candidate for a Darwin Award.

by pedro Mon Jul 06, 2015 5:57 pm

I'm sure fireworks will be banned now and that people will be encouraged to celebrate with uzi's instead...

by Davie Mon Jul 06, 2015 7:55 pm

Isn't that the second Darwin award candidate in the last couple of days? I'm sure I read somewhere about a guy in USA who was visiting a crocodile place and there was a sign saying "beware crocodiles, no swimming". Johnny Redneck was apparently last heard shouting f*** the crocs as he jumped in the water and was promptly ripped apart by one

He didn't take a single flag out, so 18 x 2 shot penalty = 36 to add to the 68 strokes. Please note the wink!

by McLaren Tue Jul 07, 2015 10:50 pm

Did he miss a green or fairway? A ridiculously good round at that pace.

by Roller_Coaster Wed Jul 08, 2015 8:34 am

He hit at least one out of the rough, but yes incredible round. Adds credence to the "don't over think" your putts school of thought, look and hit. No 3 putts (I think?).

Something to try on Saturday...

by Bob_the_Job Wed Jul 08, 2015 9:19 am

What was more impressive to me was how few clubs he had - looked to be only 5 or 6. No messing about with "Oh this is between a 8 and a 9 iron" tosh. Refreshing.

by MontysMerkin Wed Jul 08, 2015 9:59 am

Reckon his swing's a bit fast and jerky

Years ago when I played at our local Summer junior Opens, the lower handicaps went off earliest and there was usually a 3-club comp over 9 holes for those back early enough to fit it in. The number of times I scored the same or better with only 3-clubs for that 9 holes was embarrassing. As you say, none of the indecision as only had 3 clubs and, in addition, learned how to hit a whole load of 1/2 or 3/4 shots, hit greenside bunker splash shots with a 7- or 8-iron etc etc. Invaluable.

by super_realist Wed Jul 08, 2015 10:13 am

It's amazing how many people play better with fewer clubs, especially the higher handicappers.

by super_realist Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:18 pm

Just done the "budget calculator".

Better off by £150 next year. Nice one George.

Your Tory vote wasn't wasted then?

by super_realist Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:25 pm

I didn't vote Tory Mac, although, I can't argue with the budget on a personal level, even if it is only £150 quid. That's a three wood or a putter.

by McLaren Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:34 pm

Good luck getting a decent putter for £150 these days.

by super_realist Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:36 pm

I've had plenty good putters for less than that. It doesn't have to be a Scotty to be a "good" putter. You could putt great with a £50 putter or terribly with a £250 Scotty.

by McLaren Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:39 pm

That is true, but the off the shelf crud in American golf is the best part of £150. If you wan't something that doesn't feel cheap and a little disappointing you need to spend a bit more. Even the mass produced Scotty's are pretty naff at the moment.

by pedro Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:42 pm

You can probably get a good deal on a broom stick..

by super_realist Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:42 pm

I've got a Yes Donna at the moment. Working well for me. Think it cost me £80

by McLaren Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:52 pm

The Yes putters actually seem to be of a better quality than many others at the moment.

I may be wrong but a lot of the bigger brand putters today look and feel like the putters you got in the Edinburgh Woolen Mill shops 15 years ago. If you find a Scotty from the 90's in decent condition the quality of finish is far superior to those on sale today.

Get on eBay!

by super_realist Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:56 pm

Most important thing to me is getting the weight correct to the length.
My current putter arrived about 37 inch with no grip on so I was able to adjust to my preference.
