Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I didn’t realise the first 3 days of the Alfred Dunhill Links were free entry with no tickets required… Quote For the first three days entry is FREE, tickets are not needed. Only tickets for the final day, Sunday, October 8, on the Old Course, need to be purchased. There will be no ticket sales on the gate, tickets can be purchased in advance via the following link: Tickets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowry having a go at a steward for literally doing his job is out of order. These guys are volunteers, and his timing for asking people to keep still seemed bang on to me. I’ve had this image of Lowry as a happy go lucky chap - this just says utter p***k. The steward was in the wrong, you’re supposed to quieten the crowd prior to the player addressing the ball. He’s miles off it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im away on holiday on wednesday but the idea of having an afternoon in the presence of Bill Murray is possibly the greatest use of a days holiday that i could ever think of? I bet if i wore a cubs hat id get a picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at that, the crowds aren't huge and it's easy to get a close up look at some of the top players while also doing a bit of celeb spotting. It's always that wee bit better when held on the back of a Ryder Cup win too. The only downside is the horrifically slow pace of play because of the pro-am side of it. 2 hours ago, doulikefish said: Kin hell it's the 3rd most watched sporting event in the world after checking I would definitely class myself as a bigger football fan than golf fan, but the Ryder Cup is the greatest sporting event there is for me. Nothing beats it (when Europe win ). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I don't have an issue with what Lowry said. He's the player. He's in the absolute pressure cooker end of a career defining match. I bet the steward doesn't have an issue either. And tbf, it wasn't exactly a tirade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer watching the golf and for me absolutely nothing comes close to the Ryder Cup. I’d even rank The Masters and The Open above the likes of the World Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I've spent the last hour watching the videos on the team Europe instagram page. I'm devastated I wasn't on the bus for that party, but I'm delighted I don't have their hangovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the steward showed a lack of awareness that Lowry was clearly about to play his shot, while I'm also sure that if that was a regular tournament Lowry wouldn't have responded quite like that. Reminds of the classic clip of Seve when he turns to the gallery and says "I know you are nervous, but I am too". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Must need a few days to decompress from something like that. Must be such a weird feeling to be alone again. Like when you were 18 or 19 and went away wi about 15 pals for 2 weeks then came home, but with mega pressure and competitiveness and expectation thrown in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowry is swearing at a volunteer who is just doing his job. Twattish behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
