Ryder Cup 2023 - Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, Rome, Italy šŸ

This is terrific. I understand this golfer chap is a genuine CHARACTER.

Big Shane Lowry makes the team.

Is this fella still playing golf or is he playing for Manchester United now or what?

Iā€™d say the Viking clap is popular on here

That is one of the most cringe things Iā€™ve seen. Fucking golf banter. Fuck off.

This is a lovely understated intro so far

The fucking forehead on Rahm :joy:

I havenā€™t missed one shot of televised Ryder Cup action since Brookline in 2002. Apart from all the times I didnā€™t watch it. But itā€™s like Christmas Eve for golf aficionados now, & Iā€™ll make sure to catch the opening drives of the morning foursomes action before setting off on my long DCM training run.

Iā€™m actually ashamed to admit my golfing knowledge isnā€™t what it once was. Itā€™s hard to find the time to maintain TFK expert status when you now have more personal & professional commitments than in years past. In fact, I realised when Luke Donald was announcing his wild card picks recently that I hadnā€™t heard of some of the European players.

One such lad, Sepp Straka, is even fatter than my one time nemesis Shane Lowry & I see theyā€™re paired in match 3 tomorrow morning. I canā€™t see either of those fat fuckers being able to manage a second round in the afternoon, especially as Marco Simeone is a very hilly track. Fleetwood Mc anchor the foursomes for us & weā€™ll need Big Jo(h)n Rahm to lead us off strongly with Jackie Tyr(r)ell Hatton. Hovland & Aberg (Iā€™d never heard of the latter) are our other morning pair.

MacIntyre, Rose, the Danish chap & someone else I canā€™t recall complete our lineup. @Horsebox will provide a summary of Team USAā€™s strengths & weaknesses later.

Iā€™ll take a look at the Ryder Cup merchandise website and see if there is anything suitable for your morning runs around St Anneā€™s Park to show your support for Team Europe.

The blue and gold combinations will also allow you to underline your long held Tipp admiring credentials.

Im calling this as 2.5 - 1.5 in europes favour. Rahm/hatton to battle back for a half on the ninth. The vikings to hammer the yanks 5 and 3. Lowry and Straka, the burger boys, to be stricken 4 and 2. Fleetwoodā€™s putts to carry rory to glory for 2 and 1 in the last.

Brookline was 1999 pal

Just making sure everyone was paying attention. Well done, youā€™ll get a prize on Sunday evening.

Watching Monty, McGinley and Bjorn having dinner here on Sky Sports.

These boys really bleed blue.

Ah yes. Brookline was an epic.
