The British are noted for being sceptical of mainland Europe but every two years this changes. Yes folks the Ryder Cup is coming.
For some reason the sight of American's in funny trousers and dodgy knitwear changes us and we become all European. People who previously would like to cast us a dritft across the Atlantic will start saying come on Sergio!
One of the things that puzzles me is why we do so well? The Americans have higher ranked players seem to win all the majors and yet this seems to count for nothing. Apparently we are favourites this time around, I find this hard to believe.
Perhaps its that strange thing called team spirit. In 2002 it was noticeabley lacking in the US team. David Duval (whatever happened to him?) seemed happier talking to the European team and it was also noticeable that a whilst 11 US players were in the team uniform a Mr T Woods was not. Not good for morale.
So there is a little over a week to go. I am not a big golf fan but of course I'll be cheering our boys along.
COME ON SERGIO!!

It just dawned on me....I will miss the Ryders Cup!!(Well lots of it)
I travel to Scotland - Friday, am out in evening...travel/bird again most of Saturday...so will only get highlights and am out all day birding Sunday..unusual as I love to watch the drama unfold.
The Americans are trying to be a team this time with a spell in Ireland "bonding" and Tiger saying he is really, really, really committed this time. Their team has many rookies in it but don't write them off.
We ought to win but Golf is a funny old game!!
At least as its in Europe we dont have to listen to that dreadful screaming USA USA USA that some of their so called fans get into in the States!!
