I've taken Friday off so I can see it all. Where did you get that stat from Mick? I'd have my doubts about it. In the UK it's only on Sky. How many European countries are that interested in it? In the US they'll watch if they're winning. Rest of the world, not sure.
Golf?s biennial festival of partisanship, the Ryder Cup, commences on Friday (26th September) at Gleneagles in Scotland. The event stands alone in the sport in its capacity to attract not only casual golf fans, but viewers who would not spend a single minute watching golf elsewhere in the calendar. In fact, it stands only behind the World Cup and the Olympic Games in terms of television audiences.

Not the same "watching" it on radio. Wonder if any pubs will have it on. Taken day off work so will investigate a bit later.


I was a waiter at Gleneagles years ago. Closest I ever got to the course.

It's nice watching it live on TV - and an excuse to spend all day in the pub :)

Few have played really well so far but it's building up nicely to Sunday's singles. Whatever about the numbers watching I think it makes for the best sporting event to watch which I suppose is helped by having a foot in one camp or the other. Wouldn't surprise me if they were level by tomorrow afternoon.

I'll be back...great afo watching today. Be there again noonish tomorra. Played 8 holes today. Aiming for a full round tomorrow. It's 3.5 to 2.5 isn't it?

Great days golf yesterday but the players found the breeze tricky and today the birdies are absolutely flying in with perfect calm conditions.


Amazing weather for Perth in late September HMB ?. The fans there are getting a real treat.


Poulter the postman is not delivering this morning though and possibly will be rested again for the afternoon, unless Stenson back problems flare up. Rorys on fire as are a number of others. Really warning up nicely.


Ryder Cup BBQ and a few beers may be a good idea tomoz.

    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.
