They had aspects of their equipment that actually they did very well for a non-traditional golf club.

manufacturer so of course look it's not necessarily the case that mclaren are going to fail here at all i suspect with the amount of investment that's coming it could well do well so um good go team rose i say

uh the best car i ever had was an audi rs6 which i bought shortly after covid hit and then a year later i sold it because my performance on the course was so bad i have a rule if i start playing well i'll buy myself something nice if i start playing bad i'll sell everything that i own that's nice so literally jen and the dogs are the only thing i still have uh i can't sell them i can't find a buyer but um it's uh no no i that was a lovely car but wasted on me truthfully because the dogs would be in the back and you can't drive that quick with the dogs in the back

unfortunately.

Giving it the Bobby Mac out the window.

Look, on Bobby Mac, should we move off smart motorways and just mention the open penalties that could be coming to Bobby Mac should he decide to give it the middle finger at Birkdale more than three times this summer?

I thought that was an interesting and quite inventive, the Sergio rule.

I quite liked that.

Unfortunately for Sergio Garcia, he's going down in history in more than one way.

And this is going to be one of them.

Do you remember when Woody Austin was whacking his head with the grip of the putter and he broke it over his head?

Do you think that would constitute a warning?

I think that'd be a warning, probably.

Yeah, and off the back of what we talked about earlier with the Chevron and going there because it's the HQ Houston and with the ticket sales for the Ryder Cup and the, you know, the World Cup and all of this and the profiteering, you could argue that could be going on with tickets, not so much of the Ryder Cup.

I wouldn't want to accuse, but it's quite refreshing to see the RNA taking an opposite approach and saying, no, we're going to accept that we could make less money, but we're going to go to a venue with the history.

and a place where people and fans want to see the top players go and play, me being one of them, because I think Lytham is the most exceptional of Lynx courses in the UK.

We spoke about this, Ian, at Sunningdale.

I suspect they're only restoring their profit margins to somewhere in line than where they were before Rome.

I mean, as you recall, the Ukraine war in 2022 spiked costs to such an extent that the DPW tour ended up making very little profit from the Ryder Cup.

I don't think this is, you know, as nearly as egregious as what's going on in the World Cup in the US.
