We also have the dubious pleasure of a fourth day of a bunch of morons shouting "Gerrin the hole" every time some twat swats a little white ball. tunble:

So I hope it pisses down.
lol: lol: lol:

All those that paid ££££££££££££s to get in yesterday are well pissed off I gather...

Why would you go and watch golf...?  rubschin:

Same reason someone would go and watch snooker I guess.

No. Completely different IMHO.

In snooker you can watch the whole game (like on the telly but without close-up shots and camera-in-the-pocket shots)...

In golf you watch some bloke whack a ball into the distance... you can't see where it goes or where it lands... Your choice then is to stay where you are and watch another block whack a ball into the distance or follow the first bloke while he tries to find his ball and then watch him whack it again...um into the distance so you can't see where it goes or where it lands...  Eventually, if you follow him long enough you will be able to see him putt the ball into the hole - repeat 18 times.

On the telly you can see him whack it, follow the path of the ball, watch it land and then watch others doing the same while the first bloke walks about... makes much more sense to me like...

Not that I ever watch golf or snooker on the telly...  noooo:

To be serious it is more about seeing how the top players play than about watching the ball. Golfers, like any other people, like to play their particular sport/game and are always eager to learn what it is that sets the "stars" apart from the rest. Anyone who participates in a sport for pleasure will have their own dream that given the luck and if let in on the "secrets" of the top players they too could earn $squillions. Going to watch will, they hope, move them close to that exclusive group of people.

Crikey ~ very deep Snoopy.

I find watching sport dull unless I'm rooting for one side or a particular person. (or if I have a bet on of course)

I enjoy watching most team sports ~ Rugby, Soccer, Cricket in particular .... I could sleep through hours of cricket. I find tennis boring but I have never played it. Golf is the same. Horse racing is quite another matter; unless I have a bet on then I give it a miss. Darts can be fun to watch in short bursts but then like rugby, soccer and cricket I have played darts competitively. I also enjoy watching boxing and fencing and again have enjoyed both in competition. So perhaps that is the answer. If you play(ed) it then you'll watch it. I dunno. Probably the most boring sport I have encountered was snooker on the wireless. Now that is a guaranteed sleep inducer.

Sun has just come out here. It is low at this time of the year and is shining directly into my eyes as I sit at my desk  Banghead

Seems a shame to pull a curtain but the new blinds, that will operate to individually cover each portion of the bay window as necessary, have been delivered but have yet to be installed.

I must chase that up ....... oh  redface:

Is that the start of a wish-list?

Dawn is breaking (no, not you Dawn) and it appears to be drizzling
