Disappointed with the pairings to be honest, no fleetwood bad call !! hope I'm wrong,  let the fun and games commence.

Fair point rep victor can't really argue but see my comments below rep pairs

Lowry is a fine match player if you look at what he's won - one hell of a fighter - he's a diffo Friday player for me interesting suggestion rep him and rahm - my theory Lowry should be the only rookie Friday morning Rory will trust him - BTW I hope I am wrong but this course is not up Rory street IMO - so Rory and Shane to rub of each other

One think about Westwood he a fecking steady player as is Casey - maybe steady doesn't win you a point but damn hard to beat !!

From a golf perspective victor doesn't really suit anybody  in the team in terms of pairs - Fitzpatrick weak as his length of the tee will be huge in all but 3 holes

Loving the debate keep it coming

Has to go with points on the board early for me it's the strongest pairs out to break even after day 1

Rory/Shane
Westwood/casey
Fleetwood/poulter
Rahm/Garcia

Or open to change politer and Casey


Then possibility in the afternoon of victor and Hatton to see afternoon action

Lads I don't fancy Fitzpatrick at all tbh but if you look back to my previous posts I said 2/3 months ago the yanks were strong favourites with the stronger team

Look this is very straightforward. If this is a paid position the job would have been advertised, clubs would have been notified and given time to nominate, and there would be a sub committee set up to make sure the process was transparent.

I'm waiting on the detail emerging on this, the official line so to speak. Was it in today's IN? Anyone care to post it up if so?

We need this position filled badly. There's no doubt about that. That's one thing that's beyond debate!

It's on there Twitter feed - yes you need the position filled but by a man that is a proven loser in coaching - as I said above great idea issue is getting the right personality/ person someone with success as a player/coach is key for people to respect that person will enda mc Ginley respect him?

One would think people who get any such role as 'director' must have success in terms of playing, but more importantly in coaching and management ? Does he ? If he does then he will get the respect, iif he doesn't then it's a disaster!! Credibility comes from success in sport

I don't disagree with your point but the question leading from your post is are we blessed with "success" in coaching & management in this county? If I'm honest, i wouldn't know what the criteria would be for a director role (apart from 1. St John's man 2. Head of PE in Rathmore  ) but without starting negatively it's a good step forward that we have one. Neal Pedan went into the same role in hurling and it's fair to say we have moved on in that code so hopefully we can see similar progress.
Finally, we appointed a management recently that are fairly green and who haven't yet had success (to my knowledge). They've done rightly so far.

I have no irons in the fire, seen this in the Irish news today,and the reason for my comment was what I have seen with this individual in down coaching circles is no success, has he had any school success ?? Club success with St. John's ?? I don't know these things . A DOF is a good concept but
Not working In down currently either need the right man !!

What will be interesting in the coming year is when the legislature in Edinburgh passes the referendum bill the fight that will begin in the courts rep article 30 of the Scotland act 1998 - one suspects the court of session will allow the bill to proceed then the fun in the Supreme Court really starts with 2 Scottish judges on the bench in London well anything  is possible

Cue Aidan o neill

Can someone translate that please

Look I don't really care but he's more all Ireland seniors than David Clifford and u people abuse shows where u going in Kerry we support are players absolute nonsense I will not comment again...

Can someone translate that please

Translate what??  winners are winners - Antrim never won anything of note so don't abuse people

Jaysus, looks like Samuel Beckett is back among us and sending message to Antrim GAA Board.

This is not the SDLP lies Brendan, again Antrim people abusing people that have won stuff and you constantly abuse

Read that a couple of times and still doesn't make sense. Well seen the pubs are open again 

Ok negative hater what I am saying is your so called wisdom misplaced name me an Antrim player with more medals or individual achievements .... I don't thing u get too many maybe a couple of his mates but again Antrim people don't Accept those in their own life that have achieved highest

Not anymore. Overall a wasted talent to, one of the best minor  footballers in Ireland.

Watch football for a long time as a Kerry man he had everything ... but again it's this Ulster thing ... he won a club all Ireland played in another .. many ulster clubs scored 1-4 - 1-2 from play against Cavan one day ... Jesus u lads need a reality check.. many all Ireland winners (club) in Kerry and u constantly get at lads like this that's why ur going nowhere... I suppose the gaa Moto comes in "give respect get respect"

A lads memories of an Antrim team that has an all Ireland club and then u have a disfunction county team ah lads, come on some respect now, madness !! This is Antrim

From a distance tally never suitedDown he has to go.Maybe Moran and Gilligan?? But listen simple when u know players from afar Danny savage genius with his feet gets 10 minutes and Kevin mc kernan comes on with 13 to go and is finished!! Management

Heading off to play three crackers this bank holiday weekend in Scotland.

Turnberry followed by Royal Dornoch and then Brora ,some travel in between but Brora in particular is meant to be unreal.

Trump is an ass but by god the changes in that course and Turnberry in general cannot be underestimated, very decent price and easy to get too from Belfast, well worth a visit for many on here.

There's an awful lot of opinion in what you describe as fact.

Opinion on what are the best and worst open courses, however most of the rest is fact Wobbler open to you proving me wrong on this
