Rough Deal and smooth greens

Thanks to Bill Whelan for the news that the Rough Deal String Band will be playing at the K Club, Straffan, Co. Kildare, on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 September during the forthcoming 36th Ryder Cup. The next Ryder Cup in two years' time will be played in Kentucky, so the RDSB are fulfilling the vital function of making the US team feel at home.

(Never mind the logic; anyone hearing the RDSB is going to feel good anywhere, at any time.)
