Dude, Where's My Par?

Shwmae From The Celtic Manor: Ryder Cup Notes And Other Stuff Like That

The Tweet Smell Of Success - So Corey Pavin and Monty have banned their players from tweeting during the Ryder Cup. Judging by the reaction from golf fans on Twitter though, you could be forgiven for thinking they’d announced that the apocalypse was imminent. Since when have 140-character blurbs been more important than the greatest team event known to man?

The Burning Question - Who would win in a good old fashioned bitch fight between this year’s Ryder Cup captains’ wives, Lisa Pavin and Gaynor Montgomerie? Have a look at this photo and tell me what you think.

First Impressions Are Everything - As terrible introductions to a city go, they really don’t come much worse than Cardiff. I mean, have you flown into Cardiff International Aiport recently? It may be my local airport, but I’ll be the first to admit that it’s an absolute shithole. That said, if Mr.Pavin or any of his team happen to be reading, please accept my sincerest apologies.

All By Myself - Anyone else feel sorry for Tiger Woods as the US team posed for the obligatory getting-off-the-plane-with-their-spouses photographs? Just me? He looked like a loner, standing there Nordegren-less with only a pair of stupid wraparound sunglasses for company. The fact that even Matt Kuchar had a hottie by his side must have only made things worse for TW.

Welsh Media Watch - Throughout the week, I’ll be analysing ranting about what will no doubt be completely shambolic Ryder Cup coverage from the Welsh media. Exhibit A: the most ridiculous filler story I’ve read in a while.
