That's why strip clubs are available. Golf might be relaxing but skanks in tight outfits outdo golf anyday of the week. Plus i can claim back on my taxes with the invoices.

So, anyone else going to be paying attention to the Ryder Cup this weekend?
Pairings have just been announced for tomorrow morning's foursome:
7.35am: Watson/Simpson v Rose/Stenson
7.50am: Fowler/Walker v Bjorn/Kaymer
8.05am: Spieth/Reed v Gallacher/Poulter
8.20am: Bradley/Mickelson v Garcia/McIlroy
The last match is the one that an awful lot of people wanted to see.

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 is a relatively new layout and basically designed specifically for the Ryder Cup.
The whole Gleneagles estate is a ridiculously nice place to hang around.

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 performances came when playing against shit, so the pressure wasn't really on.
The standard improved a bit in the afternoon, but an awful lot of the good play was recovery shots, rather than good, controlled golf setting up birdie chances.
Normally these things basically come down to being a putting contest.
On the basis of today's play, this Ryder Cup could be decided by who manages to actually get tee shots on the fairway to give themselves a solid basis to attack a hole.
The lack of accuracy of the tee was the most striking aspect of today's play - and it extended to players who are known for their driving ability.
The rough is too thick and wet to score from.
There isn't even an excuse for missing so many fairways. By professional standards, this is not a course with narrow fairways. There are some holes where they get very narrow, but that only tends to be to make the longest hitters in the field think twice about smashing the ball as far as they can. If these guys consistently hit it 290 yards of the tee, they'd find pretty generous landing areas.
Both captains have made some pretty dodgy calls on pairings (McGinley playing Poulter-Gallagher in the morning and Watson not playing Reed-Spieth in the afternoon) that will be brought up and held against them if their team ends up losing.

started playing golf again recently. my bunker play is awful :sick: any tips?
picked up this bad boy today
was hitting quite a few dead straight 260 yarders (along with some dud 100 yarders) in the simulator, i'll see how accurate that is IRL soon

But getting to the point of being confident enough to hit hard (and not think you'll accidently hit a 15 yard shot 80 yards) is tough.
Open club face, swing hard, hit the sand 1-2 inches behind the ball.
Smart club.
Had a few nice Callaway woods over the years.
i've been playing about 2-3 times a week and i've already improved a decent amount. been thinking about lessons
I tried a few shots where I hit it harder, I managed to get it out of the bunker but I hit too hard and it went too far, bounced at the edge of the green and rolled into the bunker on the other side
I guess there's a fine line of hitting it hard and not too hard?
I take it you've played at St. Andrews?
