Tiger Woods' demise continues now being arrested for drink driving. I can't stand Woods I never wanted him to win anything. Loved it when he smashed his opening drive into water at Ryder cup but his downfall has been prolific since being outed as a serial shagger.

Missed the cricket for the Open, wasn't disappionted. Wonderful entertainment, sport at it's best.

Ryder cup tickets went on sale today.

Our biennial attempts to get tickets have failed again. Even at £150 ish per day whether it’s first come first served or a random ballot the demand is fierce and never manage to get close. Today in a “waiting room” queue for the website from 2-4 then after a 14 minute countdown finally got on to the main site only to find unsurprisingly only practice days left. 

We’ve now had a crack at Paris, Minnesota, glen eagles, Celtic manor, k club always ends the same. Will no doubt try again for Wisconsin in 2 years to no avail. 7th time’s a charm...

A little tip from someone with a 100% success rate at buying tickets - gigs, festivals, sporting events - get on that website as soon as possible and leave it open for as long as possible, then refresh 15 seconds before the tickets go on sale. 

I cant back it up with facts, but it’s almost like there is a queue before the official queue.
