1919.0. "BRITISH OPEN 94 - TURNBERRY,SCOTLAND" by BRAT::LEARY (You're blockin' my rays, mon!) Tue Jul 12 1994 16:21

    
    
    What's going on from Turnberry.  Any weather reports?  Odds on
    favorites?  Pros not playing due to injuries?  I think I saw
    somewhere that Norman for some ungodly reason is the even money
    favorite?  Why would he be at 1-1 odds especially when he plays
    his approach shots somewhere up and out of the stratosphere?
    
    
    Looking forward to a great tourney!

1919.1OPEN and ShutPEKING::ANTELLJWed Jul 13 1994 08:4232
    The Open is at Turnberry you are correct, it is not the British Open
    it is the Open.
    
    Betting Odds
    
    Norman 9-1
    Faldo  11-1
    Lazabel11-1
    Lungar 11-1
    Pavin  33-1
    Lane   100-1
    
    Calcavechia is complaing about hotel costs, he says it cost 100.00 for
    a meal so that takes the enjoymet out of it.
    
    He played in a Pro Am in Sweden so he will break even on the trip it
    will cost him 7k for the deal.
    
    He has 2 houses one worth 2million and 7 cars Porche, Lotus that type
    of thing by his own admission.
    
    He allegedly says the costs are getting too high to attend.
    
    How about the noters having a whip round a few pounds in each to
    subidise the less fortunate international Major winning golfers,
    they are a worthy cause perhaps we could fix a charity game for him.

    an umbrella

    it's always expensive if your NOT winning...so maybe he should play
    some golf instead of complaining...
1919.3Skint golfers unitePEKING::ANTELLJWed Jul 13 1994 10:0212
    The guy is a world star with sponsership and millions in prize money,
    7 expensive cars 2 houses one worth 2 mill, he can not be serious.
    
    Some golfers are only interested in making money grinding out on the
    tour picking up cheques, others want to win majors and be world stars
    he should make his mind up i dont believe he has been dragged over hee
    screaming!
    
    Maybe its just paper talk, on that note Alliss has not had a go at
    Faldo thats always good for a laff.
    
    Langer he is my tip
1919.4NACAD2::NISKALAMoisten needle before inserting.Wed Jul 13 1994 12:297
    	Papers are saying it's been raining the last few days at Turnbery
    and players are shooting at the green as if it's a dartboard. Not the
    typical type of shot required at the open... If the fairways soften
    up too, I guess nobody will get to see any 400 yard drives by Daly
    as he does his Energizer bunny shot off the tee:
    
    It keeps going, and going, and going...
1919.5YELBUS::DSMITHIt's over the line...Thu Jul 14 1994 09:1212
    
    
     I was down Turnberry yesterday for the final practise day, the course
    is in great condition although the greens may dry out quickly as the
    hot weather hits them. There should be a lot of low scoring as there
    is hardly any wind to talk about.
    
     Followed Nicklaus and Watson for a few holes in their match against
    Price and Norman. Watson is striking the ball very well and if he can
    start holing the putts he won't be far away on Sunday.

1919.7He likes a smoke or twoYELBUS::DSMITHIt's over the line...Thu Jul 14 1994 10:0918
    
    
     He's certainly a lot smaller than expected although that's probably
    because we expect him to be "big/heavy" given the distances he hits
    the ball. As he was standing about in the rain for a while watching
    guys in a driving contest he looked a bit fed up. However, once he
    went into his routine he seemed quite pleasant, answering questions
    from the crowd etc. He was knocking 7-irons down the fairway when 
    a 10-year old from the crowd asked for a shot. Daly invited the boy
    over, gave him the club and told him to fire away. When he got down
    to the serious stuff ie the driver, he invited the same boy to have
    a bash first.
    
     Yesterday at Turnberry he played with Colin Montgomerie and didn't
    seem too bothered by all the autograph hunters chasing after him 
    between green and tee.

    since it was here first.
