Hey Phil, define getting old.

Well, my last Dubai Ladies Masters was 2010.
In 2011 a special invitee from America stole the show.
She went on to have a stella career.
Today she was part of Team USA who won the Solheim Cup.
And she has now retired…

How can you say that! It’s a known fact, golf balls can be influenced by a well chosen shout. GET IN THE FUCKIN HOLE!

Worked at least once in the 250 odd shots I would hit per round

I once shouted ā€˜get in the hole’ at a 1 foot putt I was taking, it lipped out and rolled 10 feet down the slope. Karma is real and just.

Ryder cup tickets will be $750 per day

And you lot though MY internet was slow…

At the risk of being mocked again, Ryder cup volunteers have to pay $400 to help out

In the US yes.
Equally PGA USA ONLY gives overseas volunteers the shit jobs. So you fly there, pay the $400 pay for all the accomodation and transport and end up working in the retail store (IF you are lucky) or the shuttle bus queue or the car parks.

One of our Dubai crew went to Whistling Straights got to see about 3 hours of golf. My Media Boss - Brian went - did retail saw no golf.
They asked him (and then me) in 2016 to go over & train their Media teams - no expenses but we could buy our own entry tickets
