Topic: Ryder Cup

I know we have many members from the UK and several from Wales. Wondering how many of you are following the Ryder Cup matches and for the locals, how is the event effecting you? Today was mostly a wash out with the rain, but viewing the late finish, the country looks beautiful.

I have some Welsh ancestry on my Fathers side, but really know little about the history and geography. It does seem to see a lot of rain!

Obviously, I am pulling for the US, but the Euro's have a stronger team it seems. With the change in schedule putting a larger emphasis on the foursomes, it's going to be a tough road for the US team.

I just look forward to a good match and hope it is close late into Sunday's singles.

Re: Ryder Cup

It's just 12 miles down the road from where I live. I've never seen so many "visitors" to this area. The city of Newport has been planning for this for many years. The only thing you can't plan for is the weather.
Celtic Manor has a wonderful golf course situated in some beautiful countryside. I'm not a great golf fan, but there is plenty of excitement around here at the moment.

Re: Ryder Cup

I'm not a big fan but i have taken an interest with the tournament being so close. I think europe are gonna pull a few points back today judging by the way play ended last night. Saying that its been raining hard all night.

Topdown, Wales is a beautful country and you should be proud of your connection. We pretty much have every landscape crammed into a very small area. It's very green and hilly, the people are friendly but fiercly patriotic, and oh yeh, we love a few beers ;?)

Good day for the Euros, 5&1/2 out of 6, although never count out the yanks in the final day. As a fellow Scot i hope big Monty brings the cup home.


cheers

Re: Ryder Cup

A heck of comeback by the US to make it interesting. Great putt by Graham McDowell on 16 to close the door. Fun to watch.
