Yep! I'm watching the conclusion of the PGA Tour event in Scottsdale for now. It has gone to a play-off.

Same here. Sadly my phone cannot capture anything 10% as nice as it appears in person

Beautiful landscapes

Yes, he is a youthful 35 years of age

And we have our new champion!! Mark Dawes in the Men's World Indoor Bowls Champion for 2018

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a tie-break to determine the destination of the Men's World Indoor Bowls Championship title. The best of 3 ends will see a winner crowned.... I know you are all excited

Today is all about the bowls for me. The final of the men's indoor world championships takes place. The final will see a new winner crowned as Mark Dawes takes on Robert Paxton. I know I am on my own on this but I thought it deserves a mention on this global sports forum

That is all. Roll on the weekend

This is great news! Thanks for alerting me to this I hope he can make it to Tokyo!

I just listened to it for the first time now. And............ I really like this!! Wonderful

I thought that was the name of the doping discussion thread

No, it's a great thread. As you say, it is a tribute to Olympians who played their part in the history of the Games. I for one think it's nice we can remember them

Linger, the golden jewel in your wonderful contribution to music. I love this song so much. God bless you Dolores. I miss you when you're gone, that is what I do....

Nooo This is a sombre day indeed. RIP Dolores, you are going to be missed. F*ck

As far as I am aware, Sport Ireland has been given a budget of €48.5 million for 2018, but there is yet no breakdown or publication from Sport Ireland on how the funding will breakdown amongst the different sports.

Nostalgia is always a bittersweet experience . I hope you will come back to us one day and re-live your good times. And yes, Castle on the Hill was always on the radio here and yes is a million times better than Galway Girl. Bohemia, the Galway Girl, Ed Sheeran knew it

I think it's very doubtful we will start in 14 events

I am confident we will win somewhere in the region of 0-10 medals.

Absolutely zero enthusiasm here in Ireland and zero coverage or attention from the media too. Winter Olympics here sadly doesn't resonate with the population and I doubt anyone will be surprised to hear me say that

Good thanks. And what have you been up to since you were with us last?

Now there's a blast from the past!! Welcome back!
