Meh.
The rivarly between Juve and Torino is too unbalanced for it to be really good.
A large part of what is good about the derbies in Rome, Milan and Genoa is that the team tend to be pretty evenly matched.
Already I hear some of them claiming that the lost 37% will be back in due course to “kick the Tories out”. They are deluding themselves. This time around, disaffected Labour people aren’t simply registering a protest vote. They are actually joining the SNP in droves. Many of the 37% of their...

You guys were watching a derby between mediocre teams to see a wonderful display of free-flowing, flair-packed football?

Interesting enough first day, even if the standard of play was fairly underwhelming.
The play from many players in the foursomes was pathetic - I don't think Watson and Simpson managed a birdie between them - aside from a couple of decent pairs. Though one could argue that even those decent...
Anyone can go and play if they are willing to pay. Easier to get a tee-time if you are staying at the hotel., though.
I played the King's course a couple of years ago, which is the original course but is now considered too short for the pros to play.
The course they are playing on this week...
