Wayne Riley has been out and about on the Royal Troon course ahead of The 145th Open, and the Sky Sports commentator believes the seventh and eighth holes will provide much drama and excitement throughout the week. Wayne Simmonds Jersey . The 401-yard par-four seventh is a birdie hole in benign conditions, but when the wind picks up there are several no-go areas - particularly off the tee with well-placed pot bunkers guarding the left side of the fairway.The approach to a narrow green can also be tricky, depending on the hole location, and short-siding yourself in the left rough will make it near-impossible to get close to the pin. On to the eighth, one of the most famous par-threes in world golf and a hole which proves that negotiating just 123 yards from tee to green can be more testing than it sounds.The Postage Stamp will feature heavily in Skys coverage of The Open this week, and Radar highlights the importance of finding the short grass and getting club selection right. There will be plenty of birdies here, but its also a potential card-wrecker.Watch the video to see Radar discuss where not to go on the seventh and eighth holes at Royal Troon ahead of the 145th Open - live on Sky Sports.

This baseball life is a blessing, but collateral damage comes with it, Flannery wrote.Flannery wrote on his bands Facebook page, Tim Flannery and Lunatic Fringe, that he spoke with general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy on Tuesday and they shared some tears together.Flannery was an animated coach who danced along the baseline and emphatically twirled his arm to send runnersWith a heavy heart I want to say something. I left everything nine years ago to chase a dream, Flannery said. I left my home, my family, to follow my leader, and friend Bruce Bochy, to fight another battle, to try and bring a world championship to San Francisco.Flannery notes, I have no dreams of managing.Flannery, 57, had been on Bochys coaching staff dating to their San Diego days and they moved to San Francisco together in 2007.It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Tim, the Giants said in a statement. We are grateful for his many contributions to the Giants organization over the last eight seasons. Hes been a loyal and vital leader of the San Franciisco Giants, but more importantly, he has been a friend and mentor to many of us who share his passion for the Giants and the community, with his special dedication to Bryan Stow.

Flannery and his band held four sold-out Northern California concerts last off-season benefiting Stow. All dollars from purchases of Flannerys 11th album, Outside Lands, released in November 2013, go directly to Stow.Flannery joined Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead to sing The Star-Spangled Banner before Game 3 of the NL Championship Series last month at AT&T Park.He said he will continue to commit himself to causes he believes in and to build awareness.History will show I was part of the greatest baseball teams in Giant history, I also was part of the greatest baseball teams in San Diego Padres history, Flannery said. I feel like the game has honoured a humble servant of it, I have been blessed so much from this sacred game. I just now feel it is the time to send myself home safely.
