Whupping their butts!

[joggerjayne]

I've just looked at the online scoreboard.

There are 6 games out on the course, and Europe are winning all of them.

=0)

I hope there are some more Spa Weekend deals to Celtic Manor when the golf is over.

[joggerjayne]

No golfing today until lunch time.

Everyone is saying how silly it was to have it in Wales, in October.

From now on, maybe they should stick to Spain when it's held in Europe.

Have they decided where it will be in ... 2014?

If it was up to me there would be no golf at all! It's got to be the most class obsessed & sexist game of all.

On a famous course in Scotland there's a sign saying."Dogs & women are not allowed beyond this point."

Closer to home...My local greengrocer is a member at the most prestigious course in my city, he plays off 4, so he's a pretty decent golfer. He went for a game this summer, & left his van in the car park at the front of the club house. A couple of days later he had a letter from the club telling him not to park his van at the front of the clubhouse, as it lowers the tone of the golf club....That's golf & the people who play it in a nutshell!!!

[joggerjayne]

Well, I'm not at all fussy about golf. I've never played, and I doubt that I ever will.

But the Ryder Cup is fun.

At least ... it is when it's being played somewhere warm and sunny.

I agree it is the most class obsessed, but the women are as bad as the men.in my opinion.
My wife had an interview and had to fill in a form when joining the Royal Birkdale Golf Club. The application form was 3 pages of nonsense which could have been answered by:
I am not black
I am not Jewish
I am married to a professional person.
This is why we will never have a Tiger Woods in the UK

[joggerjayne]

But aren't most of the courses open to the public ?

[carrust]

Not sure about public access to golf courses JJ.

[Sqad]

JJ...most are, but the "ordinary guy" can only afford the green fee for the "crap" Municipal courses, the green for for the courses with the essential and up market facilities is out of the pocket of the ordinary person.

[joggerjayne]

Well, the last member of the public who went on a golf course around here was found dead ...

... so I suppose there's an argument for avoiding golf courses.

[Sqad]

JJ..........LOL........I read that.....Devil´s Dyke wasn´t it?

gleneagles is the next venue for the ryder cup,,, hope it doesn't rain,, I've played golf for over 30 years and i'm not a snob,, theres always snobs in every walk of life,, you just have to bring em down to your level.

[joggerjayne]

Yes, the dyke golf course, or some such.

It was all in the A rsegas.

He probably got into an argument about how many shots he'd taken, or something.

Gleneagles? That's quite famous. And ... presumably ... WET !

[jno]

huh, blame the weather, poor technique more likely

[365058bet]

Is anywhere dry today JJ,, I doubt it ,, bet you had a great day at celtic manor being pampered ,, I know i did

[Sqad]

JJ Gleneagles............wet.........the wife.............!!!

The think that I remember about Gleneagles was that I had a 2yr old 500SEC Mercedes and it was the cheapest car in the car park.

[joggerjayne]

It was lovely, 365.

We went some time around last October.

We got a fab deal, and stayed overnight.

The hotel there is amazing, isn't it.

I bet there are loads of deals on offer after the golf has finished.

[365058bet]

Last time we were in gleneagles was on a coach trip and we were driven around until we got evicted, spiteful lot !!!!

[365058bet]

If I see any good offers JJ I'll let you know,, may even see you there !!

[cazzz1975]

municipals are very good courses these days, I personally dont go for all the golf snobbery I play the council courses which are excellent and thankfully that old pompous attitude is starting to die out

[365058bet]

play is resuming at 1 30 and the singles will be played tomorrow,, it wont be the same though,,

[cazzz1975]

better than squeezing it all in today
