We Got Gold In Golf

[tamborine]

Well done, Justin Rose

[grumpy01]

Yes well done Justin Rose.He's certainly come a long way since finishing fourth as an amateur at the Open.

[rsvp]

I'll second that

GB must be close on China's heels in the medal table now.

It's hard to imagine the ancient Greeks including golf in their tests of military skills, of course. Imagine holding the Persians at bay with a niblick.

[ChillDoubt]

Well done Justin, the medal tally columns are spinning like a fruit machine!

[DTCwordfan]

we have a long way to go to hitting 29+ but it looks good, another guaranteed in the bank tonight to come. Let's get into 2nd.

[zebo]

We should overtake the Chinese tonight, another gymnastics, a cycling certainty and at least one sailing gold.

[Lie-in King]

Well done Justin, that chip to the pin on the 18th was a thing of beauty :-)

[DTCwordfan]

Now in 2nd on the overall table, our silvers the difference for the moment.

[Baldric]

I hadn't realised that Golf was now an Olympic Sport. It just gets sillier.

[jno]

careful, Baldric, you'll have divebuddy after you waving his putter!

[retroactive]

I have great difficulty getting my head around Golf being an olympic sport. What next? Lawn Bowls? Croquet? Well done Team GB though

[retroactive]

oh yes- using one of their heads instead of a wooden ball lol!

[campbellking]

Croquet made its only Olympics appearance in the games of 1900.

[DTCwordfan]

Does divebuddy even have a 5 iron?

[DTCwordfan]

yes, and be careful.

The GBers are on a run.....yeah.
