No mention on Sky of the pace of play at the Women’s Open. Which won’t be because the commentators are struggling to keep up 🙄

Journalist and grandfather….not necessarily in that order
I’m shocked. Who would have thought Hibs, after being in the ascendency, would give away a sloppy late goal to lose the match? I mean, that never happens 🙄
Just had a wee look at the Scotsman website. Always easy to see when their hard-working golf correspondent is on holiday. Not a word on the major championship being played this week. Shameful…..
Or indeed player comments on the ball rollback. Very few players big enough to comment without pushback from the piper. Rory. Tiger. Jack.
One big difference between broadcasters and journalists? Journalists are not compromised by the deals they have with golf-related companies. Keep that in mind next time you hear a commentator praising a player who uses, say, a particular brand of clubs or wears a certain brand of clothing 😉
Count me in as a member of the Lottie Woad fan club. Love the way she plays golf 👍
Sky golf coverage…..increasingly we are treated to too much talking and not enough golf 🤷♂️

LIV plays amid foundational cracks… Koivun! . . . Scottie’s weird great year . . . Fox and ready golf. In the Daily Drive open.substack.com/pub/thedaily...
LIV plays on as foundation shows crumbling
Koivun era begins with decisive 3M win over No. 1 Scheffler; Fox endorses 'ready' golf

July 27 golf birthdays: Jordan Spieth, Min Woo Lee, Brett Rumford, Hugh Stuart, Trevor Herden. 😃
Scottie Scheffler is playing in an otherwise nondescript PGA Tour event this week. Appearance money is not allowed on the PGA Tour (aye right). Wonder how much (and how) he is being paid to be there? 😃
The Mail are attacking someone for a 'man of the people' act and somehow it isn't the privately educated city trader who became a career politician and receives £5 million gifts and £2m in side hussles, but likes to pose with pints of beer he never drinks.
Sigh. As per usual, many Sky commentators seem to think there is a G in the middle of “Gallacher.” 😃🙄
One thing hasn’t changed with the new PM. Like so many he says “the north” when he means Manchester, Liverpool etc. That means he is talking only to English people. Not a good look/sound for someone in charge of the UK government. Just saying.
BBC news currently showing the political editor for “the north west.” But she never mentioned the Hebrides once. Very strange if you ask me 🤷♂️
How much better would football be if both teams tried to score more goals than their opponents rather than trying to concede fewer goals than the other lot? 🤷♂️
Is there anything in sport more horrible than this Argentinian team? 😳😀
t might have been one of the best Opens in living memory, but it's now time for a break. open.substack.com/pub/thesecre...
Time For A Break
The Open might have been a cracker, and couldn't have had a more popular winning caddy, but it's now time for a break.

Wee mention required for Ryan Fox’s coach, Jamie Gough. No longer will he be known as “Richard’s wee brother.” 👍
Delighted. Ryan Fox is a lovely guy as well as a top golfer 👍
Sigh. MacIntyre’s post round comments continue to betray a disturbing mix of ignorance and arrogance when it comes to his on-course behaviour. He might be nearly 30 but he still needs to grow up 🤷♂️
Ah, what a surprise. Scotland’s best golfer rounds off a mediocre week with a code of conduct warning. No matter. His fans in the tartan media will no doubt come up with excuses for his continuing poor behaviour 🙄
Very quietly, this has been a pretty good week for International Presidents Cup captain, Geoff Ogilvy. Quite a few of his potential team members in the top-20. Not Lucas Herbert of course 🙄
Listening to Faldo, you get the feeling he never hit a poor shot 🤷♂️
Ukrainian teen bronze medalist walked off the podium in Spain to avoid a photo with the Russian gold medalist. A silent protest echoing across sport since 2022.
Absolutely spot on. This guy needs to be gone, something that can’t happen soon enough 👇
