Friday: Ryder Cup is here, and it is collecting water!

The Ryder Cup is pretty much the coolest sporting event I have ever been to.  Yes, It rained all day.  Yes, the travel to the vent takes a toll. Yes, my wife is 29 weeks pregnant.  But we are at the Ryder Cup in Wales and we r pumped!!  We went early this morning, 5:45, to make sure we made it for the first tee shot.
It was raining hard the whole time we were there.  We watched the first few holes on the big screen in the pavilion with a whole lot of people.  I left Chas and Ruth at the pavilion and Larry and I
made our way out into the madness. 

It was a big heaping slop of mud.  But we caught up to Bubba and Jeff on two in time to see bubba drain the birdie putt!!  These two guys look like they are gonna play awesome this weekend. 
After a few holes they of course suspended play and we made our way back to the PGA pavilion and it was packed.  Had to sit on floor for about an hour and a half.  After waiting and starting to get the
that they were not gonna restart for a long while, we bolted.  We were both soaking wet and needed a break.  i dont mind getting wet and watching golf, but sitting around waiting and being wet is another thing.
We got back to the hotel around 2 and took a little cat nap and got the word of the restart at 5.  We headed to the only place with the SKY sports channel, a casino.  Yes, there is no sports channel in our hotel room. 
Just a bunch of channels with people talking that i cant understand.  There is one channel we watch a lot that plays reruns of Friends and Scrubs!
In the casino there was a huge following of USA fans.  It was great watching the tide turn towards the American team.  Then the sessions came out for the next two days and the way they are going out means everyone will play both sessions.  Bubba will play 5 times! We are gonna wake up early again tommorow and catch the back nine of bubba and jeff's round.  We are gonna follow Bubba all day tommorow and hope we come out with some points!! The duo of Jeff and Bubba look strong and so do the rest of the players.  MOMENTUM USA!!!  So far the forecast is for no rain tommorow so we will see how it goes.

GOD IS GOOD!!

GO USA!!

  1. I bet the rain delay you had today is a little bit more enjoyable than the one we had in Lexington. :) Go USA
