    everytime it is the yanks turn,just like this is the year charlton go down but every time we beat all the odds,this will be no different (i hope).

    i love this event,pretty much the best 24 golfers together and the standard is always far superior to the usual tournaments and with greater pressure on the yanks as they are always expected to win.though i would have taken bjorn over westwood but with the faith in him,he will come good.

    Playing Golf I would imagine is quite enthralling so I am told as I have never personally swung a club. Watching it is worse than watching paint dry in my opinion of course. Might appreciate it a bit more if I played it but do not have time, playing footie is my thing & has been for last 18 seasons.

    As general rule, I don't have much time for golf but there is just something about the Ryder Cup...

    Golf leaves me cold but keep thinking I should take it up for business reasons.

    What I find funny is that it is the only time that we all become proud Europeans and wave and blue and yellow stars. Long live the People's Republic of Europa

    I've definately become more European in my thinking over the last couple of years. Not sure if that's just me or a broader trend, but i can understand the need for economic and trade partners, and have realised i don't actually hate the french or the germans. I don't think the mass influx of Eastern European imigrants is going to help the situation, but i blame our government for that.

    So. i am happy to embrace Europe, but i never want to see the pound disappear, or our laws governed anymore than they already are by Brussels.

    Absolutely love it. Dont think we're gonna win it this year though. The yanks have got a slightly stronger team!
    Monty wont be the force he used to be so we're gonna be relying on Sergio & Donald to pull us through.

    it's all explained there.

    Can someone explain the diiference between "Won 1 Up" and "Won 3 & 2"?
  • Options
    1 up is when it goes down to the last hole.

    3 & 2 means they were winning by three holes with only two wholes to go, so can't even tie, so the match is won.
  • Options
    Won 1 Up means they won one extra hole.

    3&2 Means they were 3 up, had two holes left so couldnt lose.
  • Options
    Great start to the first hole by Woods & Furyk, hehehehe
  • Options
    Thanks golf fans!

    The Americans are traditionally weak at the foursomes (basically its not a format that's played in the US) so "hopefully" we could go into tomorrow with a decent lead!!!

    are you talking Shooters Hill Daniel ?

    or does golf just bore you

    Like watching paint dry, only not as much fun.
  • Options
    your missing out BFR.

    You swing the stick, you whack a ball 250 yards. Next hole you swing the stick exactly the same, you hit it 40 yards on the floor to the right.

    Impossible to master. Great game.

    I've played golf a few times but it has never really grabbed me, just can't see what the fuss is about, still a good way to get some exercise.
