Morning all golfers and non golfers.
If you play let everyone know where and how you did.
I am a total golf nut so am out golfing twice a week and do a little practice when i can, play off 12 now and should be off less due to how much time i spend at the club.
Any stories about golf, pictures etc. pop em down on here.

I live next door to Birtley Golf course if that counts?
 
Just finished at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, hit a very respectable 81 with a 35 stableford..no where near winning mind, some twot came in with a 39. Putting was an issue today...Never mind we have the Abu Dhabi Expats Ryder cup next week, can't wait. Played over 2 days, If I think on I will post some photos

Ryder Cup from Abu Dhabi Sadly we lost but a superb weekend..Those Americans love flying flags

As long as we win the big one that's all that counts mate!

And looking good so far!

Just hope they don't do a miracle in Medinah on us. The score is set up for that! Don't think it'll happen though. The US team will have a weak tail tomorrow. They just can't cope with the narrow fairways.

The course has been set up fantastic. Only Speith and Thomas have looked good for the Americans....looking forward to the singles tomorrow
 
I think we will win , I am sure the Captain will remind the team of Medinah and Brookline. This team only needs 4.5 points to win the cup back, I don't see the Yanks getting 8 points in the singles........I hope
 
After seeing the singles draw I think it could be closer than we'd want.

We'll scrape it but not by much.
 
I can’t wait. I’ll be watching the start, flip over to the f1 and then watch the finale afterwards. I suspect it’ll be close but we should see us win.

I can only see three strong chances of a win: Fleetwood and Molinari, one defeat to Spieth - not that such things exist in matchplay. There’s a lot of tight matches that could go any way on the day. My first 2 hours of coverage will be courtesy of Radio 5-live on the way home from Maldon, Essex.

Absolutely this. Mcillroy out first is a bit of a risk. I would suggest that he hasn't been playing well. I would have gone with Fleetwood first as his confidence is sky high.

There are 3 Europeans I'll probably put some money on but after that its a bit tough :emoticon-0107-sweat
 
I've put £20 on Donald Trump, he has won so many club championships according to his own fake news.

John Rahm is an interesting bet. I've gone Rory, Ricky & Koepka. Considering a few quid on Matsuyama as odds are good for a EW/finish at around 28/1, or at least they were.
