The Eisenhower Trophy is being played this week. A huge event, not that you’d know it from reading at least one prominent website. Not a word. I mean really…. 🤷‍♂️

Yet again MacIntyre showing his lack of class even as he shows us how good a player he has become…. So much swearing, so little self-awareness 🤷‍♂️

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

Watching Hibs v Hearts. Can Premier Sports not find any pundits/presenters who don’t have west of Scotland accents.? Or who didn’t play for Celtic or Rangers? 🤷‍♂️

Enjoying watching the Dunhill Links as storm Amy moves in. In weather like this, most American courses would be unplayable. In Scotland, not so. Wha’s like us? damn few 😃

Last word on the Ryder Cup “envelope rule:”
Some might call it antiquated. Others may label it traditional. I call it honourable. Winning at all costs is not honourable…..

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

One day on from the Ryder Cup….is there a more self-congratulatory group than those on telly? According to them, everyone was either “awesome” or did a “great job.” Absolute nonsense of course 😃

Keegan Bradley whining about a rule that has been in place for decades is pretty pathetic #sourgrapes

The Ryder Cup is amazing when it’s about the golf, the greatest game. We just have to get rid of the other stuff that tends to epitomise the worst aspects of human nature

Unsurprisingly ridiculous crowd behaviour.
It’d be better at Royal Melbourne. The crowds would be respectful and the ball would at least bounce on the greens😉😉
And no rough would make the course harder and more interesting.

Not sure everyone needs to be welcomed to the Ryder Cup prior to every match….🙄 #pedantry
