Nice. How did you play today? What was your best shot?

Under this video there’s a comment preview, it reads “Had the opportunity to play this course today - speechless at not just the course, but the wonderful staff that blew me aw…” I’m dead 😂

Whew! Hard not to cringe there. A lot has changed in the 6 years since this first aired. 😂

Might wanna cut that bit out 😂

That's what I came here to say to.

I don’t get it

@@EuclidStreams That “Royalty” turned out to be Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Turns out he’s a serial pedophile? Hanging with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island.

Did it cost 5 pounds to buy it?

Brian Schoen I’ve always thought tiger is the Goat. If it weren’t for his back injuries and personal issues then he would’ve beaten the Career Major Wins record by now.

Ethan Marcum while Woods may well be the greatest (and it’s a matter of opinion) he’ll probably never be loved or respected in the same way as Jack was and still is. Everything about the Golden Bear oozed class

TheYorkie72 do not agree. Have you seen the footage of Tiger walking up the 18th at the tour championship? He is the most beloved golfer ever

@@TheYorkie72 I rate Tiger as the best for two reasons. Jack stated himself that Tiger goes up against a lot more players who can win then he did, and Jack also stated that Tiger has the best short game ever, even better than Jacks. Oh, Jack also stated if Tiger did not have those injuries, he would have surpassed him. Plus Jack has 73 PGA wins and Tiger has 82 PGA Wins and a few more years yet.

Shane Jackson “Tiger goes up against a lot more people who can win than Jack did”. Arnold Palmer (7 major wins), Gary Player (10), Billy Casper (4), Lee Trevino (6), Johnny Miller (2), Tom Watson (8), Hubert Green (3), Hale Irwin (3), Raymond Floyd (4) to name but a few. But yeah, you’re right because Tiger had to go up against Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh.....

makes your heart skip a beat every time you see it tho......

What dig? Because he said you want to be a player who will truly be remembered, you have to win at St. Andrews? If you think he meant that as a dig, then how do you know it wasn't directed at Ben Hogan or Walter Hagen, neither of whom won there either. There was no dig, ridiculous assertion.

@@jonburrows8602 exactly right. Jack was not a boston fish wife or shrew. Rusty may be, though.

@@jonburrows8602 I think it's a jab at Watson more than Palmer. But In 1960, where Palmer won the Masters and US Open and was going for the 3rd major win but he came in second.That was played at the old course St Andrew's. As great as these guys are, they could never win the PGA championship in their career. Hogan is a career grand slam winner and won on his first and only try at the Open. How many Pros can say that?. Walter Hagen was the first American born winner, so I don't think it's those guys.

In July 2015?

What ?.

Do you think Charles knew Saville his close friend wasn't one of them? Seems like a long shot.

Yeah, it's surrounded by walls 🤔

I was there on the Saturday, never hit sand in 4 rounds, what a player

Golf is a brutal game.

TV images might be a bit grainy.

, there's harder courses IN St Andrews (Castle, New, Jubilee) and Carnoustie is MUCH harder.

Absolute nonsense. Theres many many courses harder in bad weather than St Andrews

Carnasty

Hogan only made the trip across the pond once. Palmer likely made it stick because he made the journey over and over again

Palmer put the British open on the map for good. A legendary golfer is judged by such accomplishments not just titles. No disrespect to mr hogan, hogan apex irons. Hogan is an icon.

Almost all are imitations? Really? I can see that with say augusta or even Oakmount. Pebble beach not so much.

@@JamesSmith-qr7be When Jones helped design Augusta, he ensured that the last (not the monster it is now!) was relatively straightforward, hence no water, following the example of the easy (in theory!) 18th at St Andrews. Same principle with the 18th at Pebble in this sense - it is (or should be), despite the water, a straightforward 5 for someone who needs a 5 to win.

@@ysgol3 pebble beach has water down the entire left hand side of the 18th literally from tee to green. Sure a straight forward par for a pro but personally I would find the 18th at St Andrews miles easier than both 18s at augusta and pebble. In fact 18 at augusta isnt that straight forward at all. Pebble if you get your tee shot right isnt too bad. St Andrews you have OB right bjt if you have a slice like I do you could literally aim left of the 1st tee block and you have miles and miles of fairway to work with and its short! St Andrews 18th is a different league of easy compared to Pebble and Augustas 18th. St Andrews 1st and 18th tee shots are potentially the two easiest tee shots on the tour

@@JamesSmith-qr7be I was referring to the original 18th at Augusta, not the very hard much longer hole it's become. Re Pebble, well, everyone's view is different - for a good player on the verge of winning, an 'arms block' 3 wood to the right, then a mid iron to the fairway before it narrows, then a short iron - job done. Tom Watson played it like that to win the 1982 US Open. As for St Andrews, like I say, it influenced Jones 100% for Augusta. Of course even the easiest holes can provide disaster - Doug Sanders in the 1970 Open being of course the prime example.

@@ysgol3 I agree re augusta as you said Jones said he based it on st andrews I just don't agree when it comes to all courses. And lets be honest most holes on thr pga tour that are par 5s are easy pars for those guys. Not that many hard par 5s to par maybe the 14th at pebble would be one of the tougher ones to par. St Andrews 18th is rediculously easy but if the pin is in a tricky spot then obviously you still gotta make the putts. The 17th at St Andrews would have one of the hardest approach shots in golf would rival the 12th at augusta. If I played the 17th I would lay up haha no way would i take that green on.

Are you sure you're remembering that correctly? You forgot how to spell Costantino Rocca. Twice.

Thank you for your insightful commentary

@@frankkoolosko4255 You're quite welcome.

Wow, no one knew that.

It's predator!

That open was not held at St. Andrews though. 😒

Wasn’t that something, though? My children still remember me yelling as I watched on TV!

I really wanted Watson to win that one. He played great that week.

@@mrvlsmrv It would have been a great story and it was fun to watch, but in fairness to Stewart Cink, Watson had a already won his share so I was also happy to see Cink get his first.

😂😂

Who's hanging up the clubs in 2025?

On the other hand, over the course of history a lot of princes have also done a lot of really vile stuff.

On the practice range (or is this a trick question)

@@voice_of_reason5604 where's the range though?

@@jadesmith6823 somewhere on the course grounds

TBH this course has more than just the first and eighteeth hole..... didn't see too much of anything else though.

There's a range down on the other side of the Old Course Hotel. It basically runs parallel to the 16th hole.

It is at St Andrews !!!!!

@@daffodilsandspring hahaha thanks, should have read the title properly

Patrick Slingo - Still, at Turnberry where it was in 1977, and they are still 124 miles apart. The Scots have a crafty knack of differentiating between their Courses, by giving them different names. Tricky, eh ?

@@WildlifeObsessed yes i didn't read the title correctly

He is

What do you mean technically? The prick LITERALLY won in 2000

Not sure about your anger here, but St. Andrews is iconic.

@@tigerbait134 oh, yeah, when did it become "iconic?"

@@documax123 in the golf world…it’s been iconic for over a century…dipshit

If only they'd known 6yrs ago when they posted this...🙄

Only the American media and hence the American public insist in calling it the British Open. It’s correct title is The Open Championship.

It’s really the British open for the rest of the world. It’s amazing the arrogance to continue just calling it “The Open Championship” when there are many opens around the world...

Eric Walsh. Hardly arrogance. More tradition I would say. The Masters subscribes to this in the same way and has been around for nowhere near the same amount of time. Just like your valid point that there are numerous Opens there are a number of Masters worldwide, but only one “Masters”.

It’s the first of its kind. It’s the open Championship

18tangles . Interesting thought. May I ask why you think it shouldn’t be a major?

What are saying mate. Tiger woods won on a score of -19 mate , the nearest challenger was on -11 . How did you work out he won by 3 shots pal

8

WTF?
