Golf - classic or dud

over here we're still just tryin to nail him to a tadhg/prod or Brit/paddy mast, which seems a pity but not untypical

Listening to the radio till the end at round 1:30am, really exciting finish. Again Rory stayed strong while others faded.

Sentence is awful but I just want to check: I don't think the British Isles have ever come up with a 'world beater' quite like this in almost any sport with a global-like reach? Both in individual sports or national teams.

I'd offer Roy keane, idk bout global reach of their categories but Sonia o Sullivan, Michelle smith lol and Katie Taylor dominated their fields globally, Brian o Driscoll is an all-timer certainly.

brits'll have their own ideas, but rly idk its hard to define the criteria there.

rugby, global? pfft lol

^^^hoping to provoke local garda out of posting retirement, here

mcilroy is gaining a spritely and supernatural aura nowadays tho, he is the imp of sport, the mythical surpasser

he's the golfer van Morrison should've been

I think i heard he's a Catholic, and had an uncle who got murdered when he tried to move into a Protestant neighborhood. He seems to stay away from discussions of that sort of thing

this says tadgh & paddy mast

rather the point is that he said NI first then hinted GB for Olympics but golf is administered on an all island basis also he seems to have a can't I just play golf and be from NI pls approach which IMO is otm

The best part of breaking up is getting your golf game together.

Seinfeld had an episode about this. George learned to speak Portuguese and understand absolute zero. (Regardless of how true it is, I don't think this claim is necessarily going to go over well.)

we tried that once, in 1812

Saw bits of this - was great, but the comptetition is lacking. Europe are now dominating (even UKIP wouldn't dare support the US).

They could look into an Americas vs Europe. Allow guys like Cabrera to get into the Ryder Cup.

More immediately I am looking forward to Mickelson's captaincy (he was clearly applying for it), that could bring a bit of life back.

The Open is moving to Sky from 2017.

Only Wimbledon, World Cup and Euros as the summer sporting events I'd watch now left for the BBC.

lol rory

was about to post robert streb to abysmal real names, before realising he was intended as 'bert' and thus a palindrome

he has not opted for such glory, alas

has a golden palindromic opportunity alluded robert streb or is he merely adding another layer of mystery?

thinking up a few different ways to construct that lame sentence was more entertaining than watching golf btw

although playing golf is a lot of fun! haven't done it in years though.

in the event, you opted for 'alluded' rather than 'eluded' which adds a certain fitting wrongness to the great wrong that is the first two letters of robert streb's name

played par-3 pitch and putt against my gf recently, went 6 up after 2 of 9, ended up losing

dammit! event failure.

it's my great hope that at some point in the future i'll be a maniacal evil CEO with an 85th floor office overlooking a miserable industrial city filled with the screams of people suffering from acute acid rain. this room would be equipped with an enormous putting green. when someone visited (to beg for mercy i assume) i would completely ignore them for a minute while concentrating on the putt. as the ball rolled toward the hole, i pick up a glass of scotch and swallow with a satisfying huge gulp just as the ball drains into the hole. also in this world i am very muscular and have fantastic teeth

haha, maybe the ball then gets flung out over the city, to perhaps fall through the cranium of one of the deprived

brooks koepka is borderline abysmal real names, you get this a lot with golf

came up with some good cockney rhyming slang

'gonna go brush my jordans'

cameron tringale might be legit the worst name at the masters this year

that one is bad. i like "byron meth"

yes

there is a cricketer called 'keegan meth' but that might be even better

spieth is playing unbelievably

my jordans are chattering

ok, worst name: branden grace

monster from sergio there

spieth is a beast

day is en fuego

great that we can get espn anchors telling us "great theater @ augusta" but no live coverage until 3pm

its a fucking crime that the masters ppl wont sell the full thurs/fri rights

watch online tho

but yeah.

they just showed Larry Mize hit a shot and dude still has the greatest swing of all time.

fucking America couldn't have McIlroy could they, had to invent a better one

Care less about nationalities than the really low score and big lead - Masters weekend could be ruined.
