This Ryder Cup mania has gone absolutely crazy!
We were prepared for 300,000 disappearing for a few days and mysteriously turning up on Monday with a slight Irish accent, we were even prepared for a huge upsurge in electricity use during TV breaks and had notified the relevant authorities. But what we weren’t prepared for, what you could of knocked us down with a feather with, was the news that one of our GolfPunk stable would go renegade!!!!!
In the run up to the Ryder Cup we rang around and checked to see how all our GolfPunks against the World were getting on. Ollie Fisher was doing what Ollie Fisher does. Playing golf and winning. Suzann and Jonathan are playing over in the States, which is fair enough. James Heath is plying is trade on the Challenge Tour trying to get onto the big boys tour next year. We phoned the tow Graeme's Storm and McDowell, which went something a bit like this....
GP: "Hi guys, how are you?"
Graemes: "ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!"
GP: "What the hell was that? Where are you??"
Graemes: "Yoooooooouuuuuuuu ddaaaaaaaaaa mmaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!" (Line goes dead)
It turns out that the duo are at the Ryder Cup following Europe and mingling with the fans. So say hi if you see them. Then we went to check on Sam. A certain Mr Torrance. But we got no reply. That's not unusal. Normally he's on duty with the BBC. So we tried again later, but still nothing and the parental instinct in us started to worry. He hadn't called, left no note etc, etc....then we heard that he was definitely at the K Club, so we sent a craic (see what we did there) unit to find him, but they've taken over a pub in Naas called the Ivy and apparently, he isn't there. But they did give us this...

Live commentary A not so serious look at the action as it unfiolds.
The Atlantic Divide A bit of banter from both sides of the pond.
It's the Ryder Cup coverage on AOL and if you look closely you'll find a certain moustachioed Scottish fella filling you in on all the juicy gossip behind the scenes at the Ryder Cup. We've been on it all day - checking in to see that he's behaving himself - and we recommend you do the same. And if you see him, tell Sam we know what he's been up to!!!
