Danny Willett's brother has put the cat among the pigeons. http://www.golfdigest.com/story/dan...oes-not-bode-well-for-danny-willett-this-week
I played nine holes at Cave today, only the 2nd time this year. Wish I hadn't bothered, I was woeful. Absolutely dire.
Not played for 12 years, but everytime I see the majors or the Ryder Cup on telly i don`t half get the itch to get the sticks out
Kin hell just watching Kirsty Gallagher on Ryder Cup report ..... my gawd her udders seem to have expanded somewhat since she split with her old man, looking well tasty
Think the US will win this time to be honest. Have a feeling the passing of Arnold Palmer will have an affect similar to Seve back at Medinah.
You have to start quickly against the Americans or they'll roll you over on the back of the New York rowdy crowd & their "USA..USA" chanting.. they get a bit beered up in NY..
