Walker Cup 2017

[drewster]

I've just read that it's the Walker CUp this weekend. Is it just me or has it really flown under the radar ????Anyone know if it's being broadcast anywhere ??? GB&I look to have a decent team and will be hoping to go "back to back". US only have one guy who played in 2015, namely MAverick Mcnealy .

That must be why I haven't been called up for the team, and hence haven't heard of it.

It's the male non professional version of the Ryder Cup.

Glencruitten Golf Club, smashing fun. Some amazing holes, some that will leave you scratching your head, some down right crazy and some stupid holes but it all comes together to leave you grinning after the round.

The original Captain, Craig Watson, sadly had to pull out about 2 weeks ago due to family illness.
I wish the lads all the best and hope they can do it for Craig.

Our Alfie is there as well. Hope he can do as well as he did at The Open with his Silver Medal.

Some wayward golf going on at the moment oo: but nicely tied at this early stage.

We got spanked in the singles last night. It was even Stevens too when I went to bed.

The walker cup is GB and Ireland team. Why is it not an European team?

Brexit.

Last 10 comps have been 5 wins each. Doesn't need changing for the sake of it, plus it gives our young GB&I players good experience they might otherwise miss if it was all of Europe to pick from imo.

In contrast Ryder and Solheim Cups arguably needed changed to keep them competitive, so worth following.

In all seriousness after Brexit maybe they do need to change the European team flag, it does seem to based largely on the EU one.

Historically, The USA have always had very strong teams. Not surprising when you compare the size of the USA to Britain and Ireland.

I see that the US open will be held at that course too in a couple of years.

Good grief USA whitewash oo:

Maverick McNealy will now be turning pro. Undoubtedly one to watch.
