    Reflections of your golfing year

    Apologies if this has already been posted as a new topic already. Less than a year ago (November 18th 2016 to be exact) I was involved in a bad car accident. To be honest I was lucky to get away with the injuries I did, but I broke my Pelvis, right hip, upper right arm and a couple of fingers...

    Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

    So people having the same comments that Clarke tried what he thought was best and it didn't work out will have the same comments about Sir Nick then? Yeah right! Mark James still far and away the worst Captain. How you are supposed to win by burning out your best players and not blooding 3 of...

    Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

    I think another pairing would have beaten Moore and Holmes so saying "It didn't matter who he picked" doesn't cut it. You don't know that for sure.They never got the chance....

    What about Mark James? Far worse than both.

    Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

    I am a big Westwood fan and have huge respect for Kaymer, but quite simply they were not playing well enough compared to the other rookies. I do feel that he felt huge pressure to play Lee more than once on the first 2 days and went on reputation rather than form. Yes Willet was disappointing as...

    Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

    All that hard work to get the momentum back lost by Clarke making poor choices just to keep his mates happy. Uphill task now, but the way the rookies and Mcilroy are playing we may have an outside chance.

    Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

    Momentum in our favour, but I fear that Clarke has missed a trick here. He cannot justify putting out Kaymer and Westwood in favour of Rafa,Wood or Sullivan. Shocking decision. So much for Wood being out of form.....

    Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

    Not sure why people are saying Wood is out of form? I think you will find he shot 63 in the last tournament he played in. Has he been missing cuts? No. He has a great matchplay record and let's face it he can't do any worse than Kaymer and Westwood did. Same thing for Fitz. Great player and...

    European Ryder Cup Team

    Weak side? We'll see about that. I seem to remember similar conversations before the last RC,the one before that and the one before that. People have short memories.

    You have to pick now...

    Agree with all 3 picks. It will be a great match.

    You have to pick now...

    In my opinion it's more of a gamble picking Donald than someone like Pieters who is coming into form at the right time. How Tom Watson would like his pick over again and select Billy Ho above Rev Simpson. They were without the winner of the Fedex Cup. Rookies when used correctly can perform very...

    You have to pick now...

    Ah Ok. Not posted in a while so not sure who is trolling. :) Take your point. No doubt the Americans do have quality players, but so do Europe and I don't think there is as huge a gulf in quality that people are making out. Add to that the better team spirit that exists and in my view I expect...

    You have to pick now...

    Not sure my post is any more biased then saying the European team is the worst ever and not giving any reasons why? The aim was to put a different point of view across because I don't believe all this negativity is justified. The Ryder Cup is not somewhere to find form and I think Fowler and...

    You have to pick now...

    Cannot agree with most of the comments on here. "The worst team ever?" Really? What about the days when Europe and previously GB&I were losing heavily? What about the Mark James team where there was no strength in depth and we had the likes of Andrew Coltart, Jean Van De Velde ETC? We have the...

    Rick Garg

    Have not posted on here for a while, but wanted to share how upset I was to hear the news of Rick's passing. As others have said he was a great guy and although I never had the privilege of sharing a fairway with Rick I did chat to him on several occasions at various different meets and enjoyed...
