I only have a passing interest in golf but I absolutely love the Ryder Cup. Quality entertainment and drama in store for the weekend. McIlroy just chipped in a beauty.
Anyone else interested?

Favourite non Football sports event. The competitiveness is immense, I'm guessing it's because it is pretty much the only time golfers play for a team rather than themselves.

The American's shouting get in the water when the European's tee off
It's so easy to dislike them.

Yeah, plus even their players change their "Spirit of the Game" attitude, the guys up against McIllroy and McDowell were trying to challenge a ruling about relief from a sprinkler. Nothing to do with them, it is the referees call. I'd take 2-2 after the morning matches, always takes a little while for away teams to settle down with the crowd against them.

Bradley the Golfers Grandparents are from Cork and the Guy in the Cork GAA jersey is from Bishopstown in Cork
A few Years ago when Arsenal were sponsored by O2 the Cork GAA team were invited over to an Arsenal game
