Ryder Cup

I enjoy the Ryder Cup, so I got up Saturday morning at 3:30 and watch six hours of golf before the family got up to go out to breakfast.

So I thought, seems like a good plan, I'll do it again Sunday before church. So, I get up at 3:30, make a pot of coffee, shower and sit down to watch some golf. Now I'm sitting here wide awake, no golf until seven if we're lucky.

If anyone is paying attention, I think Pavin is making some crappy moves. D. Johnson and Mickelson are playing like crap, so leave them together. That way they can only lose one point instead of making two teams crappy and losing two points.

Surprised we haven't heard from our resident Welshman.

Still here, and no gloating - I am a cultured sort as you would expect from any BGSU type.

Nothing to do with performance - this one was down to weather. I climb mountains for fun in that weather every day of the week, and when I saw pictures of team USA fending off our light showers huddled under umbrellas on their golf carts like rabbits caught in headlights, and when I heard they all had to go to the golf shop at lunch to get decent waterproofs on day 1, I knew Team USA were going down - like the Titanic.

This fair weather golf is all very well and good, but sport is sport and you have to cope with what the elements throw at you. If you want champions, gentlemen, the Masters don't do it in Augusta, they do it among the sheep flocks and slag heaps of Wales' not-so-welcome hillsides.

Good game though - well played, and team USA did start finding their feet with that late surge - let's just say golf won that game!
