    My fav major, just ahead of the masters.

    The first tee is pretty tight. Not many finding the fair way. Really interesting course. 5th is a super short par 5, only 480yards

    As always with links courses, you need to take into account the prevailing wind. I played Royal North Devon once when the wind was opposite to the usual and a couple of guys drove a par 5. Normally lucky to get there in three.

    @Catogrande

    Yeah mate, I’ve played a bit of golf before and my local track is links.

    It’s a funny hole the 5th with second shot often longer than the first (I hate holes like that!).

    @JK

    Seve did something like that on one of those “being filmed, having a chat, playing a round”.

    So Seve, short par four, what will you take?

    Wedge, driver.

    You mean driver, wedge.

    No.

    And yes, he made the green.

    Apparently Gulf Harbour golf club is closing. Had a lot of fun playing there circa 2000.

    It was a lovely golf course to play. I used to enjoy Formosa as well, but that's gone too

    I used to play midweek for supercheep at Formosa. I didn't think it was that bad.... Gulf Harbour was prettier. Auckland clearly can't support resort golf courses

    He had an amazing bit of luck chipping from the rough. Hit the flag pole and dropped within a few feet.

    Previous hole missed a birdie from ~ five feet.

    @mariner4life and now he sits 5 clear on -12 after 3 rounds.

    Rahm, in 3rd sits 6 back on -6 after shooting 8 under, so he will be a threat if he can get going again, some quality behind Rahm too with Day, Fleetwood and Hovland on -5.

    Fox had -2 to sit at +1 and move up into a T41st
