That Scotland beat Greece recently remains one of sport’s great mysteries. They are miles better than us 🤷♂️

Despite the starter telling certain members of the Sky commentary team how to pronounce “Hojgaard,” they continue to get it wrong. Very strange 🤷♂️

A new report from Sky News shows Twitter has an algorithmic bias toward showing users extreme right-wing content. [Tell us something we didn't know. 🥴]

To those in favour of a free drop from a fairway divot….does that mean a great lie far into the rough must be declined, the ball moved into a more “deserving” spot? Just asking 🤷♂️

Just caught up with the complaint from Rangers re referees. Hilarious and totally devoid of self awareness 😃

Had lunch today with Jennifer Laidlaw, Renton’s sister. Which of course made me think of Renton. I like thinking of Renton 👇

As Rachel Reeves’ letting agent apologises for not applying for a rental licence, Chris Mason has taken a short leave of absence until he can manage to stop sobbing hysterically.

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces nationwide by January to respond to civil unrest within the U.S.
Ask yourself why no other president felt the need to do this.

Only redeeming quality of Old Course changes? The restoration of the challenge presented by the 16th hole. All that rough on the left was a disgrace so its removal is to be commended. Should never have been there in the first place of course 🤷♂️

Still trying to get my head round the proposed “enhancement” of the Old Course. Surprised the changes won’t be sponsored by club/ball making companies. Their priority is the bottom line, not what is best for the game. And certainly not what is best for golf’s most famous course 🙄

This is shameful. The R&A say they want to keep the Old Course challenging for elite players but nothing about their total failure to regulate equipment. Apparently they are happy to mess with the ultimate golfing monument but not with the sensitivities of the equipment companies. Disgraceful 🙈 👇

Much talk on Sky re the narrowness of Delhi GC. No mention of how playing the course the way it was designed to be played has eliminated the driver. How much more interesting would it be if the players needed to use the longest club in the bag? What we are watching is an inferior product.
