Funny guy.

sad news, was indeed a great comic actor.

Grew up watching Willy Wonka, he was always an interesting guy to watch and utterly hilarious too. Still, better to be at peace than dealing with what sounded like a tough time with Alzheimers.

Arnold Palmer has passed away. Will this affect the u.s team? I have a feeling it will spur them on.

Yes they will want to win it as a tribute to him and the commentary will be so biased it will be unbeilevable.

Plus they have that guy who shouts

“Get it in the hole”

Maybe he could modify it this year to

“Get him in the hole”

Never underestimate the power of that - worked so well for team Europe & the memory of Seve.

Will cover some of the mental stuff tomorrow in the build up thread.

Not a great golf fan but as a kid I used to watch a programme with Arnie Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus in it showing off their golfing skills. Arnie P always came across as a decent guy. RIP.

I found that funnier than I should have. Having said that I think I booked my ticket to hell a long time ago.

Pete Burns… gone, spinning in his grave… right round? (or is it too early?)

Also Bobby Vee. You spin me right round baby, right round like a rubber ball I’ll come bouncing back to you. (I can’t claim credit for that quip, though).

A great sporting moment - especially that first touch by Jairzinho taking that pass up the wing.

Don’t panic but there goes Clive Dunn - a comedy legend.
