My friend passed away on the pitch in DCU 5 years ago. It was the defib man’s first time using it and there was nothing he could have done to change the outcome sadly.

“Europe” you wouldn’t see many of the Eastern Bloc lads swinging a club. In fact* no one has ever represented Europe in the Ryder cup from beyond the old Iron Curtain, including the balkans, Turkey etc.
*I made this fact up, but I’d say it’s close enough to true

14 countries (if you recognise Northern Ireland as a separate country) to date represented, but it was only GB until 70s.
Tis been mainly the Brits, the Spaniards and a few Micks.
I’d say golf will be in serious trouble as a sport in the next 10 / 15 years?
I don’t know too many lads who play it anyway regularly.
Golf courses will become a huge target for environmentalists, particularly any within urban areas
I’d say developers will be a bigger threat to them
Would there be any fellas beyond those countries in Europe who would have pushed for inclusion or should have been included?
I remember a game of soccer on a beach in Ko Samui many moons ago. There was a few Irish, a few a Dutch, a German chap and a few Scandinavians. We took on a mix of Canadians, Yanks and Aussies.
It surprised me at the time but I could not get over the passion I felt for my continent. As the game went on the geographical imprint of the Europe became embedded in all our minds and the tackles become ferocious as we fought for the pride of the likes Greece, Bulgaria and other unrepresented nations. It became a nasty affair and only ended when the chicken shit Canadians folded up their tent when the heat was turned up.
