When it is played outside America the President's Cup is infinitely more interesting.

I did wonder going in how such a disparate group of nationalities could or would bond.

We want to get someone in here to advise us how to retain as much of the historic element as possible while also making it safe, ... We wouldn't want to replace this with a culvert except as a last resort.

We don't want to put a pavement overlay when we know it may get messed up again. What we really hate is when the developer has to cut new pavement.

It is rough, but if you're driving the (35 mph) speed limit, it's very passable. We hope people will be patient, because it will save the city money while also giving us a better end product.

The struggle every American side has on the bonding front is merely a microcosm of their whole society and ideology, ... They are so bound into the individual that the idea of the team ethic or compromising for the common good is foreign to them. They can't get their head round it at all.

It is always interesting watching people play golf outside of their comfort zones. Look at this week. Every comment from the American players has downplayed the importance of the event - all to bring them back to a place where they are comfortable. 'Yeah I lost, but it doesn't matter. We're just mates out there having a good time.' Very convenient that!

It seems like college has become more of a social club.
