Heatwave? Mate, it's 12 degrees in Auckland right now. Send some of that warmth down here instead of this rubbish weather. 🌧️
lol cope. Enjoy watching ads for sportsbet between scrums.
nah, it's a good point. But a bit of warmth and sun might be refreshing for once. Lighten up!
As someone who's worked at a golf course for 10 years, I can tell ya, Birkdale's a beast even without the heat. Fairways are like concrete, rough is knee-high. Gonna be a survival test.
Who cares about golf? Bunch of rich dudes hitting balls while the rest of us struggle with the cost of living.
the golf fan. Enjoy your walkathon, we'll be watching real sport.

to their own, but the guys who say 'who cares' are usually the first to complain when NZ wins something. Shut up and let us enjoy it.
I've seen plenty of blokes in high-vis on the fairways. Golf's not that exclusive.
Lol 'unique edition' - they say this every year. Wind, rain, heat, whatever. It's still just blokes in polo shirts walking around for four days. Yawn.
stuffed. I'm allowed to be sick of hearing about rich people's hobbies while I'm working two jobs.
Is Royal Birkdale the one where Tiger won in 2006? Or am I thinking of somewhere else? Might actually tune in if the course is playing hard.
Bet the bookies are loving this weather uncertainty. Chaos = underdogs winning = punters losing. Same old story.
Good luck to all the players out there! The Open is always special, no matter the conditions. Hope the Kiwis do us proud! 🏌️
agree! The unexpected conditions make it more exciting. Go the underdogs!
ffs RNZ, can we get some coverage of actual sports? Like netball or rugby? Nobody cares about a bunch of millionaires putting.
To the guy saying golf is for rich dudes - ever been to a public course? Plenty of tradies and students play too. Just cos you don't get it doesn't mean it's not a sport.
Skeptical about the 'heatwave' hype. Remember last year when they said the same and it rained all week? Weather forecasters couldn't predict their way out of a paper bag.
