Make this quick, I’m watching Apocalypse Now: Lucky bleeder. “Charlie don’t surf” and all that… Although I did hear Francis Ford Coppola originally cast Robert Duvall as a golf-crazy Lieutenant who cleared entire villages with napalm so he could play pitch & putt.
Really?: No, I just made it up.
Aren't you clever. So what happened then?: Nobody went mental or got killed for a start. Europe did give the GB & Ireland team a gentle roughing up, though, going into Day Two with a 3-2 lead.
And the story was...?: Plenty of talk about ‘dovetailing nicely’, no mention of Paul McGinley and a nice birdie putt from Graeme ‘Quiet Before The’ Storm on 18 to make sure GB & Ireland stay in touch.
Can I ask a philosophical question?: If you must.
Why is it I don’t really care who wins?: Because you’re a true European, thanks to the glory of golf.
Either that or I’m too worried about whether Fiji will beat Wales on Saturday: Fair point…
