I'm with Mr Shytot on this one....
I find Formula One tedious, noisy and boring. But I greatly enjoy golf.
There's so much to admire about golf - the variety and scenic beauty of the courses, the number of different challenging shots that have to be played, and the good manners and integrity that are traditionally part of the sport.
In your post Shytot, you mentioned Paul Casey. He had a fine opening round of 66. It could have been even lower and I was very impressed with his game.
He might not win this year, but he certainly looks talented enough to win a major tournament in the not too distant future.
He's still a young lad - 26 - but he's already finished in the Top 6 of the US Masters, and I think he has the talent to get to the very top in the game.
Tiger Woods seems to be driving the ball a little erratically. If I had to pick a winner I'd probably go for Ernie Els who has such a great golf swing and makes the game look so easy.
For those who don't know a lot about golf or follow the sport much - The British Open is one of four major golf championships or grand slams that are played each year. (The others being the US Masters, US Open and USPGA).
The British Open is traditionally played on a seaside or links course. This year it's being held at Royal Troon on the West Coast of Scotland, about 35 miles south of Glasgow.
Isn't Scotland a wonderful country - green valleys and lush mountains, beautiful fishing lakes, panoramic views, historic castles, malt whisky.....and of course fine chaps like our quiz master AndrewR.
