Will golf become the new cycling?

[Brandane]

Congratulations Rory McIlroy; well played.
Now that a Brit person entitled to a UK passport has won the British Open, will some of those wearers of garish Pringle jumpers be reaching for them once more in favour of the lycra? A glut of expensive bicycles about to appear for sale to finance a new set of Calloways?

 

[Crackle]

We can hope.

It is possible to be both, although probably only if you're single!

It's certainly a better spectator sport. Enjoyed watching it.

I'd look a bit silly sitting on a golf bag trying to commute to work, so not for me thanks!

Sit on golf buggy to commute to work, now there's an idea!

Oh you've seen his passport? He has represented Ireland in the past. And he has dual Nationality in any case.

It'll happen when you can buy Team Sky golf bats

Oops; that's a bad mistake for a Scotsman to make . My pet hate (ok; one of them) is people not differentiating between England/GB/UK..

Oh, so it's an Irish and Northern Irish passport then!

Anyhow, I reckon golf would bump up the members if they rebranded themselves as swingers' clubs.

Fair play Brandane.

He is listed as representing 'Northern Ireland' on the official website, by the way, @deptfordmarmoset
and he doesn't need a passport to get to Liverpool!
