When staying at the hotel , I tipped the bell boy to call all our North American friends at 3.30am this morning just to check if they needed anything. #ROWbelieve #Bringit Go ROW 😃 NA Team missed the calls as we were in the weightroom restaurant getting ready for battle. NANANANA, NANANANA, HEY HEY HEY, WE GONNA WIN! I fixed it for you, Art

Will be updating the scoreboard this evening Frans. Lots of ROW scores to enter, not so many NA. It would appear they’re running scared already 😂

This course and I do not get on well. I'm sitting at 55th/93 who have played R1 in CC-A so far. I haven't finished out of the top 50 in months. Also more likely to be in the top 10 after R1 than the bottom half of the field, so it's clear that I just don't have the right game for this particular track. Practice rounds were no different - it's not that I'm playing poorly, I just don't make many birdies here. Sucks that this is happening during the frigging Ryder Cup.

I know the feeling, Johnny; actually scored better in my TST round at Ardoilean than in my first DRC rounds...

Match Report !
David Feherty : David Feherty here live along with my colleague Hulk Hogan, reporting on the Day 1 Total Strokes match between the North American side of Art Vandelay and Victor Lane and the ROW side of Les Sangster and David Kendall.
Hulk Hogan : Thanks for having me, brother ! (he begins flexing for the camera)
DF: After a first hole on which all four players carded 4s, the action really began on hole #2. Victor and Les both birdied it, and David made an easy par, but Art really screwed the pooch by bogeying the easy par 4 and sending the ROW team one up.
HH: That was disappointing, brother, I nearly had to wrap the largest arms in the world around Art's neck on the second GD hole !
DF : #3 once again was 4s all the way 'round, but then the North American team leveled things on #4.
HH: That's right, Mean Gene ! Um, I mean, David. My man Art saved his own neck and single-handedly brought one back by being the only player to birdie that hole ! That made it all square. Then, the very next hole - Art once again was the only player to birdie the hole and just like that, our boys went from 1 down to 1 up ! I went from wanting to strangle him to offering to let him pork my wife on video !
DF : Ehrm.... OK. Well, that lead was short-lived, as the World team went on an epic tear here. After Victor bogeyed 6 to bring the match back to all square, he repeated the performance on 7 and suddenly the World team was 1 Up again. The esteemed Mr. Sangster then was the only one to birdie #8... then both he and David birdied 9 to claim both holes for the World team and put them 3 up in the blink of an eye.
HH : That was some bull#### right there.
DF : After pars a quatre at #10 kept things the same, suddenly the NA team snapped out of their malaise and both birdied #11 to get things back to 2 Down. Hole 12 was 4s across the board again, but then the 13th saw both Les and David card birdies to 2 pars by the North Americans and we were right back to 3-up for the World side.
HH: Things were looking grim, brother. I was ready to go drop the big leg on the North Americans, but then I saw something, David. Art and Victor were getting beaten on, but all of a sudden, brother... they started shaking their heads slowly. The World team kept hitting them, but they slowly started to stand up while still shaking their heads. THEY WERE GOING INTO A STATE OF HULKAMANIA !
DF: Well, something surely happened, because what followed was an absolute eruption by the North American side ! Staring down the endless abyss of defeat, Mr. Vandelay found his game and pulled the team out of the ignominy that appeared inevitable. A birdie on 14 coupled with a bogey from Les took a hole back... then, on 15 - another birdie among 3 pars and just like that, the 3up lead had shrunk to merely 1 up for the World team !
HH : World team, what are you gonna do? When the largest arms in the world and North Americamania.... runs wild on YOU?!! (begins flexing again)
DF : I don't even know what the hell you're talking about any more. On the 16th, both NA players carded birdies and for a second, it looked like we were going AS with 2 to play, but just like that... both Les and David ALSO birdied it and maintained the lead.
HH: Clutch play right there, brother, I gotta tip my cap.
DF: Don't do that, the sun is gleaming off of your bald spot, Hulk. Besides which, the worm turned again for the North Americans on 17.
HH: That's right, brother ! Les and David both parred 17, then Art stepped up and drilled a birdie putt to get them a stroke up. Not to be outdone, Victor drained a birdie putt of his own, and just like that, we were even-Steven !
DF: All square, not even Steven. One hole to play, Art and Les both card pars. Victor stepped up and after a cracking approach, drained his birdie to put the pressure squarely on David's shoulders. However, the man was up to the task and poured in his own birdie. And just like that, after a rollercoaster 18, we had nothing to separate the two sides. The match ends with a half per side. Like kissing your sister, as they say...
HH: Have you ever seen my sister? She's 6'2" 225 and pure rip....
***MATCH ENDS ALL SQUARE***
World - .5 N. America - .5

MATCH REPORT - DRC DAY 1Johnny (Nevermind the bollocks) and his eviltwin Mark (the mouth) Lawrence vs Mike G and David H evilgrin72 IGolfBad katana22 portred Here we are at beautiful Royal County Down in NI for a four ball match on Day 1. Some vicious sledging by Mark The Mouth on the first tee got the ROW team fired up and they were out of the blocks quickly to go 2 up at the 2nd.Some good play by Johnny Rotten grabbed a hole back for NA but they were 2 down again after the 4th. Johnny got them out of trouble again and for a while it was even/stevens until ROW were again 2 up at the turn. Mark & Johnny got 1 back on the 10th but that was about it. Mike and David powered home to win 4 & 2 with some fine play. Well played both sides but it was ROW who take the points here today folks. Thanks & goodbye for now from County Down.

I suck gargantuan buffalo balls on this course. I killed us here, should have drawn a lot more holes and won a couple.
