I followed Fitz for a few holes and I don't think he likes all the noise and crowds and stuff that is going on, I know he likes to play quickly but I think you need to take an extra breath before you swing. He just hit some pretty poor shots and didn't play like someone who as won the US open.
This was the first Ryder Cup I've been to and I was peed off at the cost of the ticket, but once you are there you really appreciate the scale of the thing and how much it must have cost to organise. I've never been to a better run tournament, or any event as good as this, the transport was...

as others have said Dunstanburgh, Foxton and Bamburgh are all great. For something a little quirky newbiggingolfclub.co.uk is ok.
for inland, parkland 30 minutes from Newcastle there are loads of choices, Tynemouth is a great course, next to it Ryton is ok, 10 minutes away from those two is...
I'm not sure that there will be any fan parks, but there will be plenty of Irish Bars with the golf on. You can get tickets via some of the ticket scalper websites. Be careful buying from ebay or somewhere like that, your name is attached to the ticket and I dont think this can be changed, you...
