I know many of us on here are also golfers.
Is any body else watching this ?
It is developing into becoming a amazing last day to morrow with 11/12 players all within three sots of the leaders.
As well as the excellence of the players and their game it is also demonstrating the quality of the Belfry Brabazon Course. No rooms for mecstakes or for players running away for stupid scores of 15/20 under par
The leader(s) are only 7 under after three days and there are a dozen or more waiting to capitalise on any mistakes they may make tomorrow.
For some reason (prob money) the Belfry seems to have been out in the cold for some time but this might make the tour authorities take notice and realise what a great venue this is.🏌️

Went today and had a great day.
Walked the front nine with Donaldson and Kieffer.
Really interesting watching the decision making and course management. Saw Kieffer chip in eagle, and Donaldson 4 putt.
Then stood on the 10th watching the drive or lay up conundrum.
Finally walked the back 9 and saw the final 6 or 7 groups on 18.

Great course. Played it years ago . My memory may be paying tricks on me but I think I might have pared the 18th !!!! Having said that I was not off the tiger Tees these guys are playing. It might also have been a five that felt like a four 😀 I actually went on Friday and spent most of our time viewing the 17th &18th. Having been there yesterday it really enhanced the TV viewing. The drives off the 18th tee are awesome to clear that water, and then take a short iron to pick your spot on a three tier green. Tomorrow promises to be a great finish. And I would still not rule out Rose. 🏌️ |

And I would still not rule out Rose. 🏌️ I played the round of my life, hitting most greens in regulation, but then proceeded to 3&4 putt every green because they were like mirrors. Can’t remember if it was the 17th or 18th now, but I managed to drive to about 5 yards from the Christy O’Connor 2 iron plaque (not from the Tiger tees) and then hit the green with a 5 wood, walked to green like a pro despite being about 25 over 😁 |

My cousins fiancé hit a hole in one there this weekend and won some cash for charity while doing so
I would point out he is a pro golfer not just a random lad smacking balls about

I played it a decade or so ago, it completely defeated me, one of the worst rounds of my life. Bizarrely I hit a screaming wood into 4ft on the last - so walked up there like a pro. Then I missed the putt  |

Whilst there on Fri I noticed an advert offering one nights stay B&B and two rounds FROM £158 ?
Tempted but not sure.

Not sure which course. Possibly PGA one day and Brabazon next ?
I was amused on Fri when two caddies and players were ball searching in the reeds for a ball on the 18th. They didn't find it. My kind of golf.🏌️😀
