    Starts tomorrow, any one else interested in it?

    Think it will be a close one, shame I’m going to miss the Saturday but Sunday I will be camped in front of the TV.

    @brb if Matth comments in this thread, please lock it. Thanks in advance.

    Can't wait!!! Really excited about it!!

    The landlord is opening the pub up early for a few of us. So we'll be camped out in front of the tv for 3 days solid!!

    Think it'll be much closer than the press or bookies are saying.

    Which reminds me, havent put a bet on yet! <doh>

    Edit: just checked and the odds have closed on WH.

    Europe 5/4
    USA 4/5
    Tie 12/1 (that's worth a tenner)

    Yeah, can't wait.

    One of, if not the, highlights of the sporting calendar for me.

    The Ryder cup kills the idea that golf isn't a sport, which is just bollocks as anyone who's ever played it (properly) will tell you.

    Think it'll be close with the Yanks edging it but Hurley has a point, those are very good odds for the tie. Might stick a tenner on that myself.

    I'll keep an eye on it but not hugely excited.

    All I keep hearing is the Yanks have the flu?

    Also why isn't there an Asian team or an African team? It's all a bit 1st world and **** the rest imo.

    Golf is a game (not sport) for the willy touchers amongst us.

    Because they're ****e.

    You'll be asking to include women next ffs, this isn't the BBC you know.

    There is one between USA v Rest of World (Presidents Cup) and Europe v Asia (Royal Trophy) , there just isn't as much interest.

    There is another cup that includes an Asian team / rest of the world. It’s just not as big or backed as the Ryder cup.

    Now back to your box.

    USA only invented the President Cup because Europe kept hammering them.

    Dunno, they look good pairs to me.
    Maybe instead of Casey? That's the pairing most likely to lose in the morning.

    Reckon we'll win first two, lose that one, then halve the last pairing.

    Hoped anyway.

    I don't know what's fun about whacking a ball as far as you can and then walking all the way after it. I'd be ripping me eyeballs out if I was stood watching that all day.

    Hit ball...walk after ball

    Gives you chance to catch up on other blokes business matters

    Hit ball...walk after ball

    Gives you chance to discuss the football

    Etc etc
