This Rory / “unfair advantage” narrative really is some intellectually anaemic, straw-clutchy, flat Earth bollocks.

@jcorrigangolf You're right. No way near world beaters. But also embarrassing they couldn't score more against that Welsh team. Two teams heading in different directions.

WORLD BEATERS!!!

@Carra23 @rioferdy5 @FIFAcom 🍋

@rioferdy5 @FIFAcom The old classic 🎣😂 Then tweet about Arsenal & tag Piers Morgan to fill your notifications up 👍😉

And rightly so, he was fantastic when he came on. Thoughts on the price of the World Cup tickets @rioferdy5 A man of the people would surely call @FIFAcom & Infantino out 🤷🏻‍♂️ Or was your pay packet for the draw (acting 🤯😭) to buy your silence 🤫

@LouStagner 12 monkeys with 12 typewriters and eternity on their side couldn't

OK, LIV is going into its 5th season. If someone offered you a million dollars to name all 13 teams in the league (no looking anything up), could you? You get a one hour time limit. I would not win the million dollars.

@ericries Goldman Sachs

Someone was describing two people to me and said "they both work at Patagonia" as if that explained everything about them. And honestly? It kind of did. I was supposed to instantly understand everything. Their values, their lifestyle, their ethics. That's when it hit me: how rare it is for a company name to communicate an entire worldview. What other companies have built a brand that's literally shorthand for character?

@golfcourses101 I have. It's a cracker. Play it each year ahead of watching the Scottish open.

Who’s played Kilspindie in Scotland?

@dylan_dethier Classless comment from KB . 1. He signed up to the rule in advance and seemed to have no issue. 2. The 1/2 point would have made no difference here. 3. USA used this in 1991 which did impact the result. Bring it up later, not now.

Keegan has called Luke Donald the greatest Ryder Cup captain ever and the Europeans maybe the greatest team ever — but also weighs in on the Envelope Rule: “The rule has to change. It’s obvious to everybody in the sports world. Nothing against Viktor, but that rule has to change by the next Ryder Cup.”

@LouStagner I think the Europeans partially see this as money going back into their tour. I can see the argument for getting paid, but equally for why that money should go back into organisations which put on tournaments from which they and so many other pros make a living.

Why should everyone be allowed to profit from the Ryder Cup except for the players? It makes no sense. The PGA of America and European Tour make MANY MILLIONS from TV rights, sponsorships, ticket sales, etc... NBC/Sky Sports profit from massive viewership. Corporate sponsors get global exposure worth millions. Hotels, restaurants, and local businesses see huge windfalls. Yet the 24 players who ARE the product... the reason that everyone wants to watch... are expected to do it purely 'for the honor'??? That honor argument might've worked in 1927 when it was an actual exhibition match... But when you're generating HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in economic impact and everyone from the CEO to the beer vendor is getting paid... ...expecting the star performers to work for free isn't tradition, it's exploitation. If it's really about patriotism and honor, why isn't everyone else working for free too?

@4golfonline @TBTee1 As an 11 HCP index I know all these points.... However I rarely stick to them. Just not disciplined enough in the moment. I probably need a caddy...

@TBTee1 If that’s what you took from this thread, that’s a shame. There’s also a difference between knowing this stuff and actually doing it all when caught up in the moment of playing. I’m guessing you haven’t watched the full video either? These aren’t just random points…

Imagine this: you’re a 10 handicapper and you walk off the course having shot level par. That’s exactly what we explored—what 10 handicappers do vs. what scratch golfers do differently. Let’s break it down 👇🧵

@CuriousAussieX @Top100Rick As would large parts of Scotland

@Top100Rick Royal Melbourne, Victoria and Kingston Heath would like a word 😉

What’s it like for a hack golfer to play Cypress Point? This weekend the world gets to see Cypress Point on TV as it hosts the Walker Cup. But what’s it like to play it? How hard is it? How do you get invited? What did I shoot? Let’s take a deep dive:

@Rainmaker1973 Are you not entertained?!

Name one

@StrettyDave Bang on.

Great interview from Marcus Rashford about how the standards have dropped at Manchester United, but said nothing about him going to Ireland, getting pissed and turning up to training hangover and late strangely..

@grok bring this image to life

@footballontnt @grok what was the fastest (in kmh) penalty taken in the premier league last season?

Chloe Kelly's winning penalty against Spain was clocked at 110km/h - faster than the most powerful shot in the men's Premier League last season - scored by Alexander Isak 🚀

@AMAZlNGNATURE @grok is this accurate and if so why is the orca reacting so aggressively?

Inuit fisherman checking their buoys are seen off by a large Orca

@NUCLRGOLF @grok is this real or fake?

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳️ #WATCH — A caddie was seen dropping a ball for President Donald Trump during his Scotland golf trip. Did he make par?

@jamierkennedy Hope you enjoyed the round. I'm playing there tomorrow in what's beginning to be a pre Scottish open tradition. Lovely track. Can't wait

Dreamy 7pm tee time at Kilspindie....

@DRUIDSGOLF please can someone contact me regarding order #DR597780 ? The email address you advertise is no longer monitored

@_PaulHayward @David6290181952 I agree it's a fair and respectful interview. Well done to linekar and shearer for asking the questions. However, they never ask pep the tough question. The charges are an issue on public record...

@David6290181952 It's not a journalist's job to ignore an issue that's already on the public record (put there, possibly, by sources at the club). Yes, he's just won the FA Cup, and that's been acknowledged, with praise. He can handle the question - and does.

Alan Shearer is right in his analysis and Gary Lineker has to ask the question. Ten Hag is a grown-up and defends himself well. So why are so many people upset by an honest exchange between pros? Isn't that what we want?

@alanshearer Fair question. Respectively delivered. 👏 But where was the question about city's 115 charges? If you're looking for balanced discourse, don't forget about the other side.

What part didn’t you like? The part I said your team was incredible today and deserved to win or the part where I said you have been shit for large parts of the season ?
