albertjohn Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'm not one, but one of the greatest sporting events has just started at Celtic Manor in Wales. The Ryder Cup. Always completely gripping. Go Rory! Go Europe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Wales + Autumn = Rain! They've had to stop play as there seems to be more water than grass on the fairways. I heard on the radio this morning that some of the USA team had been playing in the rain last week, somewhere in the States, to get accustomed to the British weather. A bit like altitude training I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I love playing Golf, and watching golf with other golf fans, I have a harder time watching it by myself, but that's true for any sport for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I fantasize about tilling all of the golf courses in Illinois and Michigan and planting trees and prairie grass. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Ha! There's a flap Stateside about the rain suits. The US gear from Montana was so crappy they went and bought replacement gear from the official provider to the Euro team. Very embarassing. http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug=ro-usagear100110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I love golf. Although I did give it up for a while to concentrate on guitar. I've played four times this year. One of those times was a tournament. My foursome won. I'm looking at the trophy right here next to me on my desk. It's a golf bag with clubs in it leaning on a golfball. In the middle of the ball is a watch-sized clock. We shot a 65 that day. I missed an eagle from 180 yards by one inch. I birdied the whole needless to say. Go USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
