SCORED!!
I just found out that I have been allocated 2 tickets for the Friday afternoon's play the Ryder Cup being held at the K-Club (Dublin, Ireland) next year. The organisers (PGA and Ryder Cup Ltd) ran a ballot for ticket allocations. Kinda pricey @ €100 per ticket, but the atmosphere will be fantastic, even on the Friday. I had actually put in for the final day, but missed out on that. I'm happy though to get these.
They are being really strict on who applies. You need valid identification to get the tickets, as a way to avoid touts. Mrs. IG is named on the other ticket. I have a feeling she would rather see her Dad going. He might have to wear a wig and hold my hand.
Now if we can just get a bunch on Irish players in the team. Clarke, Harrington, McGinley and McDowell will do for starters! Bring it on!
