How good are our boys in the Ryder Cup.

Golf/poker day was a success. Won by Jay who also cleaned up on the cash table.

Today was the Saturday Medal Finals at WPGC the course was set up equally difficult with fast greens and tricky pins.

I actually played pretty well apart from a couple of holes which were absolute disasters - not what I usually do. Playing from the white tees and getting 14 shots I went out in 42 despite a horrendous 4putt seven on the 360yd 6th hole! I came back in a lacklustre 45 which included another horrendous seven on the long par4 14th. I then failed to get relatively easy up-and-downs from just short of both 16 and 18 so bogeyed both.

All in all I shot 87/14/net 73 but it really could have been a lot better and I'm encouraged by that.

Splendid stuff Uncle Ralph.

Hopefully we can have another knock round Royal Wollaton before winter sets in. 

We played the Priory course at Breadsall on Friday. After the ball toss it was me and my bro Joe vs Moulty & Mick.

We were 4 holes down in the doubles and I was dead last about 7 sabbos behind in the singles on the front 9 but we rallied and won the back 9 and the doubles overall.

Going up the last hole Joe was one ahead but Moulty and I both get a shot there and Joe doesn't so we were effectively level.

I had a putt to win it but predictably missed and shared it with Joe on 34 sabbos each.


Not great scoring but loads of fun.

Great scoring again Ralph. I'm thrilled with anything below 90.

Value pie for dinner again

Indeed. Some folks run ridiculously well.

The Ryder Cup opening foursomes session.

Halved matches are statistically more likely in foursomes than in 4ball betterball format, so I reckon the bookies offering 7/1 the draw across the board for today's foursomes matches may have it slightly in the value-seeker's favour.

I suggest a small stakes yankee.
