I know that it's a 2 man team, is it foursomes/stroke play? I've no idea hence the question.

Imaginitively, they have decided on a 72 hole stroke play competition.
I don't know how the team comp works, if there is one?
Brilliant gold in the canoeing, great watching the shooting, although the yellow card for the Arab was worthy as he was very disrectful and selfish.
What was our target for medals and any breakdown of them?

Ok, the last I can remember was that there were 2 players ... My own fault for not paying attention but I'll find out soon enough.

Golf about to start. Can see it's going to get annoying quick if Alan Wilkins commentates all day. Could have got some proper golf commentators in.

Da Silva had 347 yards second shot into the par 5. Wilkins wondered where he'd get on in two. My god, this commentary is dire.

how come the yanks have four players in the golf when everyone else only has two?

Top 15 in the World Rankings quality plus up to 2 more if a country doesn't have anyone in the top 15.
So if there were 15 US players in the top 15 then USA would have 15 and everyone else would have 2.....
We have Rosie and Danny in the top 15 so we don't get any more...

Who are those commentators?.....they are soooooo bad that they are making me wish that Alliss was involved.:lol:

One of them is Alan Wilkins. Dire, stick to commentating on rubbish T20 competitions Alan. Recycles the same old lines over and over again. Amount of times he referenced Da Silva residing in Kwazulu Natal and that Bubba's real name is Gerry Lester is just ridiculous. Then there was him questioning whether Da Silva would be going for the First in two when a) he's one of the shorter hitters in the field b) even Bubba couldn't get on in two and c) he had 347 yards left in. Someone shut him up. I'd take Monty over him at this point.

Thank you for that.
I have called them Smashy and Nicey [younger forumers may have to look that one up]
Quite enjoying it now.

I have had to turn the commentary off. Makes golf on Sky look good.

What a farce, I've just tuned in and Willet is playing against Rose! What's that all about? Why wasn't it a shotgun start, everyone out at the same time and it's as close to having the same conditions for all, not exact (hole depending) but I know what I mean 😂
I like the look of the course, would the European Tour consider it for hosting an event?
