Great afternoon at the PLGC, McGinley -3, Lawrie level par. Nae very often that you get the chance to stride the fairways with an Open Champ and a Ryder Cup Captain.

See when you were in edge of the water on the 8th, Paul, would you have played that one, in a regular tour event?.

[paullawrie]

Maybe but the tartan troos would have gotten a bit messy today . Lol

Hope you enjoyed it I thought Mcginley hit it fantastic

Paul,

 

I know you're managing our expectations of you here but if, as the P&J says, you're going to do Bieldside to Bridge of Don in 20 mins what tee off time is it you're expecting on Saturday morning exactly? Three a.m.?

 

Or are you just working on having a Saturday tee time first

 

All the very best for you and all your young proteges in the next two weeks.

Tripled the 17th, Paul? WTF happened? It was after Sky's coverage ended for the day.

 

Nice birdie up the last though, not many of those today.

[paullawrie]

Spent today at the Scottish Open, great day, really tough conditions.

 

Cut now out to +2, looks like our Paul will make it for the weekend.

Well done to Greig Hutcheon, in at -2.

PL, where's yer game at the moment, whats yer schedule like in the next 2-4 weeks?

[ChutneyLove]

Playing pitch and putt with a sponsor last week, I think.

[tommo1903]

He was at Pittodrie yesterday, I can assume he wasn't golfing there.

[Dynamo]

He's playing this week in the Denmark Open or something.

Haven't played on tour since missing cut at the open as I didn't qualify for Bridgestone or the pga

I'm playing 7 of the next 9 events starting with Denmark this week

Game is ok thanks and looking forward to a run of events , was awful at the open but have hit it good last 3 weeks

 

Thanks Paul.

I thought it was more a case of us making them look good.

Make sure you get your money back!

[ChutneyLove]

Nice touch buying that schmick watch for Mr Spence, always nice to show your appreciation. Hope you bought it at JomaShop (about half the price there than anywhere else, and when you're spending that much it is a significant saving). If you bought it at a jeweller, next time you're buying a watch, come and see me and I'll get you a better price. (ChutneyLove tax included)

Lawrie overlooked for vice captaincy, as McGinley goes for 5 vice captains.

 

Torrance, Smyth, and now Olly, Jiminez and Harrington. The last one defies logic.

Seemingly grew up with Harrington and been mates a long time.

Paul, pro golfers are continually tinkering with their games, in a quest for improvement, and you appear no different.

 

But when you look at how you ran away with the Johnnie Walker at Gleneagles in 2012, and how in command of your game you were that week, isn't it a simple case of going back to the fundamentals of your game that week; what your swing thoughts were that week, and displaying them now? Going back to something that you know works?

 

Or is it the case that your body won't let you swing it that way now, even though it was only two years ago?

 

Or is it a confidence thing?

Sooth Stander what did you have for your supper on 15th September 2012?

Sometimes it works to go back to previous swing thoughts but most of the time it doesn't , I normally only work on taking club slowly off the ball then all speed at impact during events which I've used most of my career , johnnie walker 2012 was probably one my best ball striking weeks ever , I had so much speed at bottom of swing that week , confidence plays a massive part so does attitude , I've been putting in a lot of time again on stuff so hoping for good 2015 but it's a fine line between good and mediocre

Did you have yourself recorded at Dingwall? :-)

Paul, your Eurpoean Tour matchplay event next year at Murcar, were there any other NE courses in the frame, Trumpton, Royal Aberdeen for example, or was it always going to be Murcar?

 

What calibre of player do you expect to attract; similiar level to the Scottish Open? Right between The Open and the USPGA

 

Amazing that there will be 4 Euro Tour events in Scotland next year (if you include The Open) and only one in England.
