Up early and seat booked in front of TV for duration.

I think it's going to be extremely close though i feel that the change in format doesn't play into our (Europes) favour

Who's joining me?

Golf !!! Golf eh ..... Why would you get up early to watch @cks ****ing little white balls around a grassy park ? Jesus this place really is going down the pan.

Had to chuckle at the US teams waterproofs not being waterproof.

The date for the tournament keeps being put back by the USPGA, they only have themselves to blame

The format change is balls-up. They should have kept the format and played into Monday, not that it will make much difference to the result either way.

Still see Europe winning

STW golf day. Suggested venue - Isle of Purbeck golf club (as long as the winds not up). We can laugh at the funny bikey people as they mince through the course on their dandy horses (you could have joined a nice club for the price of that mate!).

I'll be keeping an eye on updates - Actually watching a game of golf would be a step too far, but the prospect of sending the Yanks crying home with a smacked arse is pretty appealing, I must admit.

What is it about American golf that attracts the hillbillies? Boo Weekley last time, now Bubba Watson FFS.

I was thinking the same Houns, I'm not sure my SO would appreciate me riding two nights a week then practising at the range for another couple. I think they're going to stay in the loft.

Ok maybe I was harsh but do you guys honestly play golf and ride mtb ? Is golf that interesting in comparision to flying around on your bike ? I have been to several golf functions with my bro inlaw and the people there are so far up thier own arse holes its un real.

Traditionally the US usually do better than Europe in the singles. Bit of work to do for Europe to take a lead going into them.

Blinkin golf 👿 . Took me almost an hour to get to Wentwood today due to road closures and it's only a stone's throw from my house. The clean-up teams must've been out in force - no fly-tipping to be seen . . . even the trails looked well groomed . . . if only Newport was always like this, eh! 😉

do you guys honestly play golf and ride mtb ?

I did... until a bike related shoulder injury put a stop to my club swinging. Why not?

Oddly i find golf and mountain biking very similar. Both involve spending several hours with friends, loads of banter and p**s taking, expensive kit to spend your money on, cake and hip flasks. Whats not to like?

The guys I ride with tell me the same as you guys about aspects of golf and mtbing being similar. I agree you get cocks in all walks of life but my local golf club is full of masons,dick 1 reg plates and old wrinkling prunes with bad attitude.I visit on social occasions at the moment and all that club captain, ladies captain and toasting folk is a bit off putting.
