To me it makes more sense to have a freezing point of 0 and boiling point of 100, rather than 32 and 212 respectively - but each to their own. But we can save that debate for sciencewrx

 

Celsius make no sense yo!

 

Like 36* Celsius is really hot

 

But it don’t sound hot

 

97* now that sounds hot 🥵

Yes.

 

2015 Dell Technologies Championship 

 

It was like a tire fire.  Out of control. 

 

It started when Motorman (trolley driver) and former WRX member, Edwin "Ted" McGhee claimed Fowler was washed up. The thread erupted with activity. I will never forget that thread.   

Does Edwin McGhee now go by @Mr.Cleeks?

20° is 12° below freezing 🥶. NO THANKS!! 

Might want to rethink that one TS.  
 

or perhaps I missed the sarcasm font?   😎🤪🏌🏼‍♀️

RC is decent but would love to see this at a course like Royal Aberdeen.  Move it around to classic links a little.

RC is supposed to be the course next year as well but no word on 2027. the scottish open has been to a decent amount of courses throughout its history but has never moved as quickly as most national opens.

Jumping in for the temperature discussion. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature for what humans experience. 0 is really really cold and 100 is really really hot. Anything below or above that is a crazy extreme. Celsius is great for the temperature of water, not so much for comfort. 

In Ireland we wouldn't need all those numbers though as it only ever goes from 5 to 20 degrees celsius for 95% of the year.

 

Seems more complicated that at 32 degrees Fahrenheit it freezes, the temperature which there is frost and snow is more relevant than 0 Fahrenheit, which is a temperature that has never happened here.

32° is freezing! Thanks Dave.

See, I was right @Duct Tape 😊

All I know is that 30C is hot, and just about too hot for me to play.  26 sounds nice.  I would play every day in 20C.

Used to go to Death Valley when it was 125, just because.  Didn't see anyone on the golf course however.

I remember when 125° in DV was considered hot!

Nah, O C is nothing, you can walk around in that, that’s why it’s 32* F

 

0 F is the temp demarcation where you really freeze 🥶 your butt!

 

Wuts that in C like -90 or something. Makes no sense

 I mean it's hot, but nothing compared to my sauna.  Gotta train for that stuff.

Has a tour tournament thread ever derailed this quickly?! 😆 

 

C vs F. This is a US based site. F is the right answer. Just my opinion of course 😊
 

I'm a big proponent of metric over standard, but Fahrenheit has always worked better for me due to it being more granular. I'm fluent in Celsius as well though. 😂

I googled it and apparently that is the reason why America hasn't adopted Celsius yet 😅

Me thinks clean up on aisle ‘Genesis Scottish Open 2025’ thread is coming soon! Haha

 

Move it to the weather sub!

Yeah I think these Americans don't realise how good they have it, here in Southern Scotland we didn't get above 20C for more than 3 days last year. We don't need such a big range to keep track of the temperatures when its usually just 12 degrees and pissing down 😂

I literally just mentioned the temperature to give everyone a flavour of the conditions this week and I got sabotaged big time 😂

 

So back to the golf- who are we liking this week? Could be tough to pick a winner

Must be nice. In Colorado we can get -20 and 100 through the year

This temperature thing (horse) is getting beaten to the nth degree! 
 

BTW , for anyone who is interested….easy for apple devices, not so much for others….

Darn was hoping for a Potgieter-Rory measuring contest on every hole.

I have 0 problem with Rickie as a player or a person. One of the best guys on tour. What I do have a problem with is him getting 6 exemptions into the most exclusive tournaments on tour while the tour is announcing they are cutting the # of players who'll have a card. On one hand you want to create a more competitive structure but on the other hand Rickie is getting free exemptions because he's a "fan favorite".

Reminds me of the caddie in our group at the Old Course.  I made a comment about how lucky he was to live in St Andrews.  Old codger says "Fook that.  Was in Florida last week.  80 degrees!  That's where I want to live."  Everyone laughed.

You're not wrong.  Life isn't fair.  Just look at how easy beautiful women have it.

You have to remember that this site does not like to talk about golf unless it's a major tournament..... they love to talk about nonsense though.
