I see McIlroy has won the Open golf today.
Although I usually follow the golf when on terrestrial TV, I managed to miss most of the British Open this week. I see McIlroy won by a couple of shots, although he had a 6 stroke lead at one point. He held his nerve in the end. In previous attempts his nerve has failed him.

Golf - McIlroy's amazing drive
See http://www.pga.com/news/golf-buzz/rory-mcilroy-crushes-436-yard-drive-scottish-open .
The length of drives in modern golf amazes me. No doubt clubs are better now than when I was a keen golfer in my youth. My best handicap was 16. If I could hit a ball reasonably straight 200 yards I was pleased, but McIlroy managed to hit his drive a stonking 436 yards in the Scottish Open this week. That is roughly 4 soccer pitches! How do these people do it? Clubs help, but it must come down to swing, timing and raw power.
