Golf Notes

Its Wales' turn to host the Ryder Cup, at the Celtic Manor resort in Newport.

But its October, its outdoors, its Wales. As they say, you do the math.

Rain stopped play this morning. A terrible shame, but frankly something even Nick Faldo had the foresight to spot a couple of years ago when he counselled visitors to bring their waterproofs.

I'm sure the rain looks good in HD and even 3D on Sky.

I'm not the biggest golf fan, but went to the last day of a Ryder Cup at the Belfry a few years ago (actually it was 1989 when the Cup was halved and retained by Europe) and the atmosphere was terrific.
