Mick Mac Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's the most watched sporting event after the world cup and olympics. Europe quoted as big favorites but the wind is set to blow.The scene is set for heroes and villains.

Alan Medic Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've taken Friday off so I can see it all. Where did you get that stat from Mick? I'd have my doubts about it. In the UK it's only on Sky. How many European countries are that interested in it? In the US they'll watch if they're winning. Rest of the world, not sure.

Mick Mac Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Golf?s biennial festival of partisanship, the Ryder Cup, commences on Friday (26th September) at Gleneagles in Scotland. The event stands alone in the sport in its capacity to attract not only casual golf fans, but viewers who would not spend a single minute watching golf elsewhere in the calendar. In fact, it stands only behind the World Cup and the Olympic Games in terms of television audiences.

Mick Mac Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Like you Quids, I think a bet on USA would be a good value from a financial perspective - but would ruin my enjoyment so cant go there, but it will be close again I reckon, seems to have a way of working out like that.

Alan Medic Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Few have played really well so far but it's building up nicely to Sunday's singles. Whatever about the numbers watching I think it makes for the best sporting event to watch which I suppose is helped by having a foot in one camp or the other. Wouldn't surprise me if they were level by tomorrow afternoon.

Mick Mac Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Great days golf yesterday but the players found the breeze tricky and today the birdies are absolutely flying in with perfect calm conditions. Amazing weather for Perth in late September HMB ?. The fans there are getting a real treat.Poulter the postman is not delivering this morning though and possibly will be rested again for the afternoon, unless Stenson back problems flare up. Rorys on fire as are a number of others. Really warning up nicely. Ryder Cup BBQ and a few beers may be a good idea tomoz.
