Hi Everyone!

To kick-off the 2010 golf season, I thought we would have a social for golfers to meet and make plans for the year. Non-golfer's welcome as well!

Thursday April 8 is the first round of the Master's, and it was just announced that this will be Tiger Woods return to golf. As such, the perfect day to have our social!

Location is Shamrock Irish Pub. Easiest way to get there is take the 7 Tram all the way to the end. Bart has confirmed he will be showing the golf as long as it is available.

Thanks, I'm allright... nothing's broken I think. Bike is allright-ish again.

Watched until just after midnight last night. Can't believe how good/lucky Mr Couples was. Good for him though.

Anyone going to watch the others this weekend?

Re: 2010 Golf Season social kick-off! Master's Round 1 - The return of Tiger

Very nice to meet everyone last night!

I recorded the BBC HD telecast. and fast forwarded through the whole thing this morning. Surprised not to see Gary Linerker hosting.Tiger is unbelievable. He hasn't played in 5 months allegedly, shoots 4 under par while lipping out about 3 putts and missing a number of others by a fraction. That second shot at no.9, wow. Around the crowd, starting low under the branches and then rising and ending up a couple of meters from the hole (thank god for HD!!) And I would have bet on him missing the cut. Let's see how he does today.

Btw, Miss-Lizzy, care to share the name of that golf shop in England you mentioned?

Wonder if Fred COuple's shoes are allowed on the golf courses here?

Re: 2010 Golf Season social kick-off! Master's Round 1 - The return of Tiger

Hey, the shop I bought from is http://www.golfbuyitonline.com

"FREE Delivery on all orders over £250 to anywhere in Europe"

Can recommend it when ordering more than 250 GBP worth of stuff, as they deliver it for free, and they are pretty fast. I had my order (a trolley, an iron set and a travel bag) within 5 days. Mind you, that was a delivery to Germany. Not sure how long it takes to Switzerland (because of customs)???

Just one thing to be aware of, the address of your credit card is the address they will send the order to. So if your card is registered in Switzerland, they'll send it over here. You can't give a different delivery address.

Re: 2010 Golf Season social kick-off! Master's Round 1 - The return of Tiger

Sorry, can someone explain the "red button" thing to me.

I was disappointed at last night's coverage because a lot of what we wanted to see was already over by the time the program started. Is there any way we can watch earlier coverage here in Switzerland?

We have BBC etc. but looking for earlier coverage than just the last 2-3 hours.

Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood leading with -8, Tiger and Phil -6.

Will Tiger make it happen? He was playing a really good golf on the first day with 3 birdies and 2 eagles...

Tonight will be really fun to watch!
