It's "Open Week"...here's an overview of each hole at Royal Portrush...
a gorgeous and challenging golf course created out of huge dunes on the north shore of Northern Ireland. I've had the good fortune to have played it twice and also enjoy the surrounding area...Dunluce Castle...Giants Causeway...Bushmills Inn...and the town of Portrush. Definitely worth the trip for any golfer.
Weather this year is expected to have occasional rain and winds 10-20 mph...hoping that Rory continues his recent good play, and that Shane is right there with him. Enjoy!

actually gave this an up vote.
my 4-some:
rory, scottie, straka, hideki
weather forecast sucks, so rory might duck and run.
course is a big beautiful monster.
Went with Schauffele, Aberg, Lowry, Matt Fitzpatrick in my pool.
Picking Rory and Scottie is akin to picking UNLV and Duke in early 90s March Madness pool.
Need to go with a combination where I am not 15th in line trying to cash.
My pool...Lowry...Morikawa...Straka...and McIlroy

Still working on my picks…will post by Wednesday…
Sound strategy on your part…whoever wins will need an A+ short game while avoiding the severe drop offs around several greens. This is no “Hit and Giggle” course.
