Mine’s the same, she’ll read a book while I’m watching golf or football. No interest whatsoever. Big games, me jumping up and down, she doesn’t flinch! However, and very bizarrely, she never misses the boat race! Every year our day is planned around it, she’ll sit and watch it on her own if I’m doing something else. She’s never rowed in her life, her explanation, and it’s a tenuous link, is that she was born in Oxford, that’s it.
Agree with every word of this. I'm a frequent visitor to Italy and was fearing the worst, I needn't have.
I'm a lucky boy. My Mrs loves everything about sport. Watches football, golf, Olympics etc. In fact she's the one who puts the sport on before me. And she's here with me now in Rome.
Yep same here - the wife is into sports as much as I am , she was a county golfer and has also played Hockey internationally, will watch every sport going
I used to think my wife felt this way about golf, rolling her eyes when I mentioned it and so on. But then one day out of the blue she said she wanted to give it go. Cut forward a couple of years and she loves playing, but doesn't get to play anywhere near as much as I do. Largely because she only wants to play with me, and then we need to find a babysitter for the little one for five hours.
My wife now understands that she has to invest some time watching in the run up to the final holes of a comp or match - and try to get to recognise some of the main players and what is required of them. She'll also often decide on a favourite or two, and get invested in their progress.
Hovland as got to be one of the most likeable golfers ever.
Why? Just put the safe hands out in the foursomes, I'd say. Rory/Lowry works well I think, and the likes of Fleetwood, Rahm and Rose are steady enough to be paired up with anyone.Fleetwood Mac....... a good paring or a sports journalist's spark.
I think Europe have a good team but I worry about the pairings, especially the foursomes.
Not many 'old partnerships' and the new ones look a big risk.
I don't know, what did you see?
