So you won again ... who gives a shit?
This week was about The Shark. Nobody gives a damn about you and your
precious Claret Jug.

EEEEEEHHHHHHHH.... learn to talk, you Irish chipmunk!
Nick Faldo thinks you're boring as shit.

Here's England as you came up the 18th with the big lead ..... polite
applause.
Here's America ... "Honey, is there a race on?"

I figured a Euro would win. Right now, US golfers other than Tiger are
too inbred and have no game for anything but the mickey mouse layouts
on the US tour,,,and the Aussies play too much golf in the US. Other
than Tiger, I look for a long domination of majors by international
golfers. There doesn't appear to be anyone on the horizon in the US
who is in any sense a great golfer.

I really like Paddy BTW. A good guy who has really earned it.

The insipid US commentary and the horrible British camera work. Not
pretty sights or pleasant sounds! Luckily I really only had to watch
Harrington play 15 to 17..and I could barely stand that!
