Wild swing at the Áras flies out of bounds

I didn’t pay that much attention to the Ryder Cup, which I believe thrashed itself out in nicely creased slacks all across the weekend. Homework off and half-days from school await, writes Michael Moynihan

That used to be my high-water mark when it came to such encounters, or perhaps the whole Atlantis against Hy-Brasil in the Mystic Atlantic championship at a time that exists only when Brigadoon arises out of the mist, or Asgard versus The Shire, but they have all been superseded by the big one: Europe v USA.

Sarcasm aside, the reason I didn’t pay that much attention to the Ryder Cup is because I was out and about on Saturday. I did hear, though, that Europe was/were in the lead at about the same time that I heard about Peter Casey.
