The RHP Tavern on the Board is open

@Torunn said
No British Open for me this week-end. Not available on the channels I have. Just the first two days. 😞

@Torunn said
Starting now: How is Alex Norén doing today? And who are in the top of the leaderbord? I assume Alex is not among them.

If I were you, Torunn, I would go to the TV provider and bite him on the ankle. 😉

@Torunn said
I will, because I think they are cynical and greedy. 🙂

Alex Norén with Jon Rahm. 😍

@Great-Big-Stees said
I must apologize Torunn as I gave you erroneous info as both Noren and Spieth are still in the hunt for Claret Jug as are my two guys Conners and Hughes.😲👍

@Torunn said
I so hope they will play well today. Alex made a birdie yesterday that he was really proud of. In that weather, he managed better than the better positioned players. Happy, happy 😍

As Yogi Berra said, ”It ain’t over, till it’s over”.🏌️‍♂️👍

@Torunn said
That's true, and I think that just qualifying for the last rounds is an accomplishment. I hope Jordan Spieth will be satisfied too, he has had problems for some time and I love him very much too.

@Great-Big-Stees said
As a longtime golfer one has one’s “ ups and downs”…kinda like real life eh? I guess the difference, concerning golf is that he gets paid to play, I, on the other hand pay to play.🤔😲😉👍

@Torunn said
And a lot of money it is too. I think the winner sum is something like USD 3.000.000 which should equal about SEK 30.000.000. Is that correct?

@Great-Big-Stees said
I’m not sure of the amount of money the winner gets but that sounds like it might be right.👍 Sure ain’t “chump change”, is it?😁

@Torunn said
I believe honour and money go hand in hand - one wouldn't be enough without the other. 🙂

I just read in CBS Sports:

"The R&A will reward the 2024 Champion Golfer of the Year the highest monetary prize in the history of The Open Championship come Sunday. With a purse of $17 million set for the 2024 Open -- an increase of $500,000 year over year -- the victor at Royal Troon will take home a record-setting $3.1 million winner's share..."

Why don't you have a go, eh? 🙂

There was a time, many decades ago, when the thought occurred to me, as I was a pretty good golfer but then I realized that although good, I wasn’t “that” good and wasn’t willing or able (real life) to commit the time and energy into a quest to be “that good”. 😁

I am dying of thirst here!
