Ryder Cup

There was much joking on the US sports shows yesterday about whether the sports discussers were willing to get up at 2 am local time to watch the Ryder Cup. I am sure some, but not many, did.

I will watch the occasional TV golf, but I don't make a habit of it.

Back when I was ages 12-25 I shot a lot of pars and birdies, but I haven't been out on a course yet in this millennium.

@Victor - Yeah the time lag isn't ideal for US viewing I guess? I've always liked watching golf on TV even before I really got into playing it. I know the media like to over do the hype these days but I still think it's one of the best sporting events on the calendar.

US or Europe then?

@RianC I don't know most of the players well enough to form an opinion.

I just saw the headline about the spectator hit in the eye by Koepka's tee shot. Almost as dangerous for spectators as rally driving!

@Hewie - I've had a couple of close scrapes playing never mind watching! I got someones drive on the back of my calf a while back - thought I'd been shot for a second! Left a huge bruise but luckily hit the meaty part. If it had hit the back of my head or a bony bit I'd have been KO'd or looking at a fracture I reckon.
