I agree.  Should be great!  
Team USA has another good shot at retaking the cup.

Great matches so far especially if you’re a USA fan.

Have to say I’m not a fan of the Golf Channel graphics so far.  I want a perpetual graphic of the status of each match, but so far they only have the overall score up and only occasionally flash the status of an individual match.  Don’t like that.

For those of you not watching - Pederson made a HIO - only the second HIO in Solheim history. As of this morning the US Ladies are ahead 7 - 5. Fingers crossed.

I’ve been watching o and off this morning. We spent two weeks on the costa del sol when I was a kid and my parents bought a villa there - their goal of retiring to Spain was never realized and they sold it. 
 

Lots of memories watching this. I broke 50 for the first time on a course in those hills. It’s so beautiful there.

 

The golf is great - coverage is adequate at best. These match play events leave time for too much talking 

Driver: Taylor Made Xi10 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  R flex   - 44.25 

Fairways:  Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood  Alta CB red 65 R flex

Hybrid:  Ping G410  26 degree  Alta CB Red 70 R flex 

Irons: Ping G430  7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex 

Wedges:  Ping 195 S54, E58

Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat 

Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5”

Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls

 

While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball. I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course.  It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. 

I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

Haven't seen any live coverage but see they are all square at 8 to 8.  That makes for a nail biting singles match play Sunday.  Has anyone seen the pairings?

Jamie talking some smack.  Not arguing the statement (prediction), simply that you're talking smack... a side of you I've not seen 😆.  

As for the Solheim Cup, I had it as a coin toss outcome.  I didn't think either team would run the table and it would more likely come down to a few critical putts, mishits.  It's an uphill climb for the team trying to re-take the cup, especially away.

Isn't that the Fire emoji?  That one is confusing as it could go so many different ways from a good "this is HOTTT" to a not good "burn in hell M***r"

The USA team lost the cup on the greens; euros made putts; USA didn't.  

The leaderboard sucked!!  This was the worst coverage of match play that I have ever seen; the bouncing around was so confusing and when they showed a play Up or Down, I never knew who they are playing against.  When they did show the leaderboard, it was only on screen for a short time and very confusing.

I hope the Ryder Cup coverage is better, and I don't see the USA winning that one either.

I thought it was a compelling watch on Sunday. Enough so that it kept me glued to my iPad resetting my VPN every hour so that I could stream it off of Peacock back home while I’m sitting in Rome. Yeah, the coverage was not the best - kind like they had the B or C team while the A team is setting up over here. Nevertheless I kept resetting the VPN and stayed with it.
