I got chatting to my friend Kozo, the R&A’s Japanese expert, and asked him about the state of Hideki Matsuyama’s neck. He might be concerned, but he is also addressing the problem.įinally, less a case of earwigging, more another attempt from myself at cultural interaction for purely selfish motives.

I’m never entirely sure how to interpret such thoughts. He felt good from 10-feet and in, but was bemoaning his distance putting and called it “weak”. Recent US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick was telling his putting coach that he wasn’t sure how he carded two 70s last weekend. Someone who knows him well likes the state of his swing, identified mechanical moves he makes when playing well, and expects good things. I don’t think I have especially big ears, but I got them flapping this afternoon around the range and the putting green, hopefully picking up a few nuggets.Īussie Lucas Herbert, who has two top fours at the Renaissance Club, a top 10 in the Dunhill Links and victories in stiff winds at the Emirates GC and in Bermuda, missed the cut last week in the Scottish Open, but don’t let that put you off. Meronk laughed when I suggested that maybe it might be joined by a plaque for the first Polish Open win and thankfully didn’t laugh again when I wished him luck in his native tongue. There’s a plaque in St Andrews to honour Jozef Kosacki, a Polish signals officer who worked in the town during the Second World War and invented a method of detecting unexploded mines that proved crucial to the war effort and continues to save lives and limbs to this day. His family would make the journey every weekend and they’d holiday in Portugal and Spain to help his progress. Even when it wasn’t snowing his nearest course was three hours away. I first met the 6’6” player five years ago at the Challenge Tour Grand Final when he revealed how difficult playing the game had proved back home. I’m just really excited and very proud about this week.”

What began as the significant, but in worldwide terms rather minor, achievements of making the top 10 of the world amateur rankings, becoming the first Polish winner in US college golf, the first Polish Challenge Tour graduate, and then first Polish Challenge Tour winner has now become the rather more substantial first Polish main tour winner at this month’s Irish Open. The Wroclaw resident is, however, changing his nation’s perception of golf. “There is not much golf in Poland, I think,” she said, barely comprehending my baffling chatter about Adrian Meronk the other week.
A Polish friend of mine doesn’t have much of a handle on the business of clattering balls with sticks.
