Been thinking about getting back into it. Not swung a club since my mate and I went to some plush hotel and battered balls into the lake that John McCain parachuted into

All my pals are like single digit handicaps though so I dunno if I can handle the amount of taking the cunt that would go on.

My pals who are good golfers give it the 'doesn't matter if you're shite just come for a round' patter all the time but can guarantee if I'm adding about 2 hours to their round they'll be raging 

Shite folk just make you feel better about yourself tbh.

Na I think golf is probably the only sport where people are understanding if you're shite.
Never had an issue with my mates when I was starting out. If anything they give a few tips etc. Good exercise and a good excuse to get out with your mates

All about the 19th hole for me 

Anyway what's everyone's bets for the Ryder?

Only done one. Lowry top European points 11/1.

I honestly can't bet on golf I'm absolutely terrible at it. Just leave it well alone tbh.

Mate at work can't go a day without talking about golf, he'll tell anyone and everyone about it, plays near enough every night just to get away from his wife 
£1500 his clubs cost him 

Just done Justin Thomas most points scored overall and Hovland most European points for my Ryder Cup bets. 

I wouldn't worry about playing with your mates who might be a bit better, like already said you'll get plenty tips and pointers and everyone knows they've all been in that same position so they're usually understanding. 

Love getting out and about on the course, especially trying new courses out, even though I'm generally dreadful first time round : . Getting a round down at Gullane soon, can't wait :

People will be far more concerned by your pace of play than your ability. As long as you're willing to pick up if you're spraying it about the long stuff folk won't care. The greatest sport.

Gross 1 over par for 9 holes tonight, new Driver is clicking and the swing is feeling fluid

Some tasty match ups tomorrow in the foursomes :

Westwood and Fitzpatrick a guaranteed loss though :

McIlroy and Poulter in the fourth slot

I had Jordan Speith to win something when he was actually good, cunt came joint first, only got half the winnings.
That was enough to put me off betting on golf.

Surely we've got something better than Westwood these days 

Westwood has been on fire for over a year tbf.

The Big Dawg disagrees.

I actually like the Westwood Fitzpatrick pairing for foursomes. Both ball strikers who can keep it in play and Fitzpatrick's one of the best putters out there. I'm more concerned with the Rory poulter combo tbh. This is a Ryder cup too far for the postman and fancy them to get horsed in the foursomes.
