    I think it's the same fat stupid greedy classless idiot all the time. He will need a personal fortune to cover his travel expenses and a personal hairdresser to keep the hair out of his mouth so that we can get the full effect of his moronic mantra.

    There is a case for building walls around golf courses to keep him out. Trouble is, that would leave us with a Mexican Standoff.

    I must admit I've spent time wondering how many beers I'd have to have before yelling "In the hole!" would be fun, and concluded I couldn't count that high.

    Not a massive golf fan, mainly because of the snobbery of the amateurs and/or cheesy pretentiousness of the pros that seems to be a big part of it.

    But I do like watching the final round of the Majors - and the Ryder Cup is something else. A team event in an individual sport shouldn't work - but it does. Always exciting with the match position changing from hole to hole in every game. The European win at Medinah was unmissable sport - far more thrilling than any football World Cup I can remember.

    "In the hole":D

    I wonder what that Scotsman(?) was doing in the umpteenth century when he rolled a ball(?) into a hole?

    I don’t know, but I’ve wondered about it as well, and it’s easy to understand how games started. I’ll bet you invented a game or two at some point. I know I have. There was stick cricket (had to use a tree limb and a roundish chunk of wood since we didn’t have a bat or a ball) and a mix of basketball and American so-called football. (We had a basketball but no hoop.) Both were at least as much fun as games everyone else played. Oh, and there was frisbee tennis. It should have been called tennis golf, but I liked frisbee tennis since it was more confusing.

    We used to use the bottom part of a lampost as a wicket and you had to kick a ball against anywhere also on a lampost to score a goal.
    The old man used to give me hell when he saw my shoes/slippers.

    How are they classing Chadli and Thorgan Hazard as midfielders, while Mirallas, , Carrasco, Mertens and the worse Hazard are forwards?
    They're all bloody wingers and/or attacking midfielders.

    I think that you're right about the balance.
    Too many centre-halves, not enough fullbacks. Plenty of pivot midfielders, but no playmakers.
    Thousands of wingers, though. That'll do it.

    USA 6.5 v 5.5 Europe - What a fight back by the Spaniards!

    It's shaping up to be another classic.

    Clarke relying heavily on McIlroy, Rose, Stenson, Garcia and (surprisingly) Pieters. Hope they don't burn out.

    It's okay as long as you keep winning. You don't feel tired. If we can get ourselves ahead for tomorrow, I think we'll do it whereas I thought the US would probably win it before play started on Friday.

    Is shouting "in the hole" when the U.S player tees off at a 628 yard par 5 wild optimism or moronic ignorance?

    Moronic ignorance allied with $300 in beer.
