"... good bratwurst and great beer...."

So, a sausage and beer fan is providing us with an all-points assessment of European cuisine?

Hmmmm.... I shall have to think about this over a nice glass of Claret, which I shall enjoy with some Aberdeen Angus steak (just on the medium side of rare), possibly provided by a Michelin-starred Polish chef, if I don't feel like doing it myself. Should I have my French Onion Soup before going or at the restaurant? And for dessert: should I rustle up my own profiteroles, cranachan or maybe even apple crumble with creme anglais - it being a bit chilly today - or just take pot luck with whatever is available? With coffee, I am torn as to what to wash it down with - Tia Maria or Sambucca. Or maybe just brandy. Or maybe I should just, forget it and have game bangers and mash (that's venison sausages and mashed potatoes, for interest). Decisions, decisions.

Nice, but I am shocked, shocked that you failed to mention a nice chunk of well-aged Cheddar cheese (the real thing, not some pseudo rubbish) washed down with 25-yr old port, from Portugal of course and decanted through muslin. Well, you can't cover everything in one little post I suppose. ;)

I see you're from Bristol - that's why I'm shocked [I was schooled locally myself]. I love threads like this ....... p.s. we get some decent cheeses over here but nothing competes with what I can choose from at breakfast in many hotels in Yurp. Nothing like a good cheese to get you on plane. If the yanks had had some really good cheeses at breakfast recently the Ryder might have gone the other way ...... But is it still true that if you want a really excellent hamburger in London you gotta go to Earl's Court? (I can vouch for the accuracy of this in the 70's).

Would this not be more fit for a travel/food forum? A few people did play golf last night.

Then why not post something more related to the event? OK, I will then - because I agree about the gastronomic creep.

I thought that Westwood made a decent effort on the 18th. Like the commentator said, a couple feet shorter with his approach and the ball would have scooted down the slope much nearer the hole. You could see his disappointed reaction - the shot must have felt pretty darned good to him.

But what an unfortunate pitch (LW or open SW?) from behind the bunker earlier (forget which hole) - a very difficult lie (hardish) it seemed, needed to be perfectly struck - no room for too-early ground contact. I thought that the new #1 acquitted himself very well; he won't be easy to displace, not even by you-know-who.

Good evening, it is likely that Lee Westwood will be replaced by Tiger woods this week Tiger is playing int Australia and there are sufficient world rankinbg points for Tiger to regain the number 1 position should he win. Hopefully this will help.

As for cuisine, many Europeans find the food served in the States to be of an extremely poor, unhealthy standard, indeed many European players take their own chefs to events such as the 3 majors in the states and the world championship events, TPC Sawgrass, etc, well just about every event they play in.

Has to be Stilton - with Port soaked into it. Anything else is sacrilege!

But is it still true that if you want a really excellent hamburger in London you gotta go to Earl's Court? (I can vouch for the accuracy of this in the 70's).

Decent hamburger restaurants are pretty easy to find (no, we are not talking McD's, Burger King or even Wendy's - decent hamburger restaurants). Not just in London but all over - my local pub/restaurant serves a very tasty burger indeed.

Times they really are a-changin' ....

Actually I'm not at all surprised. And you'd think an american pro golfer's manager could figure out where these true-burger places are, if his guy can't handle bubble n' squeak or toad-in-the-'ole.

Not for me to say, born north of Mason-Dixon as I was. But it's tasty as anything. Come over and try, the $ is cheap these days.

Not cheap enough, yet!

But I do have a sexy English accent and can be as bumblingly self-effacing as Hugh Grant (while avoiding LA cottaging spots) so do ya think I could get some buckshee stuff?

I almost got beat up in Casper, Wyoming because of my accent. Not sure how they do things in the deeper South.

Your

accent???? Blimey - but you're from just down the road, right? (As for deeper South, I recall a Top Gear episode that illistrated very clearly that one should not decorate one's pick-up truck with any reference whatsoever to same-sex relationships while travelling through Dixieland. Otherwise, I can't comment. But I did see Deliverance)

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By GolfLug ·

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
