Thread for off topic randomness...

Going to have lunch in Celtic Manor now...
No score in the football, no clubs in the car

*Newsflash*
Cork are the biggest bottlers ever in GAA history.

L.O.F.T

Brutal scotch foursome score this morning, followed by several beers watching the Germans hammer the Brits along with the BBC pundits cry foul over the need for goal line technology:
"Gary Linekar and country please form an orderly line behind the Irish camp in attempting to persuade Sepp Blatter to change his mind"

Or alternatively they could, like us not bitch and moan about it, and realise it's never going to happen and move on, although I must say your way is alot more entertaining and funnier to watch.

Daithio9, we are still moaning and bitching about that hand ball! its only since the French got dumped out at the group stage which has taken the sting out of being bumF**ked by FIFA.

I'd say it's made it worse that the French were so pathetic, that they didn't do themselves or their fans justice, when we know it would have been a huge party if we were there.

agree its total bollix . we had lots of chances to qualify before that match but we are sh.ite. we had no business being there and its a joke to hear all the backlash about how bad all the teams were in the world cup, how bad were we , we didnt even make it that far , what a joke

Just back from a family holiday in England... you think it was bad being in Celtic Manor with no clubs... how about being within touching distance of Sunningdale too... ah well
It's on the agenda to take a trip over there with only clubs in the car sometime

Whats it like there,would it have been easy enough to have gotten out?

I played both the Old and the New Courses on the same memorable day... my favourite place to play golf that I've ever been (in fairness, that wouldn't be that hard).
It's certainly a toffee-nosed place but the courses are magic...

Greenfees are expensive in season - about €300 to play both courses and thats mon - thurs! When I played it, id didn't cost me anything... happy days.

Place looks stunning , what were you thinking not bringing your clubs !!

Paula Creamer (23) wins the US womens open yesterday in Oakmont by 4 shots. Only player to finish under par. Not bad for someone who 4 months ago didnt know if she would ever play golf again.

You might As well ask
What's the best car on the road......

depends - you need to consider a number of characteristics:

design, fuel economy, reputation, warranty, service/repairs, insurance, additional extras/features, future saleability, etc, etc

otherwise that question is pointless soundsham

Those Natalie Gulbis pics, the first one has got to be photoshopped surely?

Her rack is enormous and then in the next bikini shot she's like an ironing board?

Either way, I'd tap that.

You really need some balls to win a major like that

England's Melissa Reid. 7/10.

Not a bad few dolls playing in the ladies irish open.

I finally got the love of the game back, after 3mths of hating it. Two mins with the pro down the driving range, and i was cured it was such a great feeling to have confidence when taking a shot knowing you've a fair idea where it will end up.

Yeah i got to the stage, where i wouldnt even play golf with lads i grew up with. It just made me so frustrated, and lost me alot of money because i just couldnt compete with them.

The worst bit was when my friend who i always had to give shots to, turned around and said how about we make this interesting and ill give you 5 shots.

So i went out to seapoint p&p club in louth and shot a 56 +2, that got me thinking that i could turn it around.

Now i cant wait to play again, because i just have the confidence, it got to the stage where i was losing countless balls. Then the next game of golf i play i lose one, i over shot the run-way by about 35yrds because i wasnt commiting to my shots for a year because i was afraid of where it might end up.

Do you enjoy and aspect of the game?

If youve a son, why not re-create the experience with him. You might get something from his enjoyment and you might also up your game to show off.
