Managed to get to the forest between tge passing rain storms so feel Iām allowed to slump on the sofa for a bit.
Solheim Cup weekend.
Lots of talent on display
And enjoyable TV
Loving the 1st tee vibe
Obviously a fraction of what Iāve been lucky enough to experience but giving me goosebu.p memories
And Elvis is walking round tge tee box & Dame Laura is Grandma Dancing
What a damn fine golf course Royal County Down is.
Stunning on a sunny day.

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 retiredā¦
Billy Horschel Eagles the 18th as a 2nd play off hole to beat Rory at Wentworth.

Some feisty shit went fown days 1 & 2 but it is no Ryder Cup
LIV & PGA Bosses playing golf together live on TV

Might keep out the riff raff shouting āGet in the holeā.
How can you say that! Itās 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 āget in the holeā 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 slowā¦
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
