Let's refer to it as the afternoon foursomes to prevent all them collar necked peeps silently judging you. The answer was 12:50, Marky should be out of bed by then.

thats fourballs not foursomes

foursomes they hit alternate shots the fourballs they all have a ball and best score per team counts for the match

Ha, good read Sir.

And dear Sarah gets things off to a good start with her usual piercing, incisive questions, this one to Jim Furyk;

"So Jim, how exciting is this?"

God give us strength, 3 days of that.

Unlike Colin Montgomery, I've never been a winning ryder cup captain, but when it comes to team strategy, this seems sensible to me:

Fourballs

Different playing styles a plus. If plan A doesn't work, plan B might. Want the players to see alternative options on the course management day 1.

Foursomes

Closer to each other's style the better. Want the shot the player is left with to be as familiar as possible.

Singles

Lead off with form guy. Shoutiest bloke out early, so he can cheerlead/vice-vice-captain afterwards. Last two players should be clutch for the Miracle and Medinah repeat.

Do I get the gig?

Well I'm very impressed with "shoutiest bloke", so you move forwards to a second interview.

Don't think Reed and Tiger have said a word to each other yet

Neither the easiest partner, feels like they need a "Relate" councillor or two on the bags to keep the peace

Reed is definitely a bit quirky. When he gets the hots though he's some golfer.

SO good the ryder cup. I really wish they had at least SLIGHTLY different uniforms though it's tiling me a little they are basically the same. WTF Europe doing with red on the shirt?

Luckily, the Yanks have white trousers, otherwise it'd be a job to tell them apart.

Would have thought different colour tops would have been sensible though.

Rahm is loving it. Could have gone either way but he's a Poulter like rah-rah figure out there

Yup. He's Mr Hot & Cold, isn't he?

When he's hot he's hot.....

Not sure I'd want to trust my cash on him.

It's because it's chilly and they've got their jumpers on.
