Some really nice camera work from the BBC this week. Great camera angles, aerial shots and close ups!

Yes, the plane was circling relentlessly all through Fridays play. Pleased to say I was at 5th green for Luke's birdie and at 18th grandstand for Tigers great bunker birdie.

Re: The Open Golf Championship - Official Workshop Blog

This blog has been brilliant. I think caught the atmosphere of The Open brilliantly.

Loved the photos of the new irons. Good to see they are already proving popular with the discerning pros.

Can't wait until I get to see them in the flesh.

Even think the BBC must have a few Mizuno fans behind the cameras. Some great slomos of Luke's MP59s :)

Thanks guys.

Echo Logies post. This really has been an 'inside the ropes' view of things. Well done.

Re: The Open Golf Championship - Official Workshop Blog

Watching the golf today, and specifically Luke Donald, I noticed that when he addresses the ball he addresses it with the heal of the club. He did it not just with his irons but his driver too. Anyone else notice this?, if not today then in the past?

And just add what others have said, what a great thread this is :).

He mentions the heel thing in this clinic - interesting stuff. 10:48 for the heel thing

They look like V55's to me...

Very similar to Tour Velvets, but the yellow lines can aid with grip placement. I had them on my 32's till I discovered NDMC's.

Re: The Open Golf Championship - Official Workshop Blog

I was at the 17th when I got a really good look at Luke's bag. He has an MP-Fli Hi in the bag. It's probably a 2 iron.
