Air, I deleted that part thinking it to not be funny which was my only motivation. You can keep Hans island. Come to think of it maybe it was Denmark that tried that one. Where's BerntR gonna ask him. Watch your islands when that guy is around.
Should have been Rory hands down. A win in your rookie season should seal Rookie of the Year awards really.
Just sounds a bit like self protection on the PGA Tour side. Its happened before with other players. Now if it was a US player with Rory's record they would have won it correct?

Missed you at the Open. Scotland now there's a great great country in Europe. They'd never steal one of your islands .....they're too cheap to steal one your islands .....that'd take a lot of petrol. Nice people too. Love the Tennants Ice Cold.
Any other foreigners around here looking for a tongue lashing? Come on.
My friends, I had not intended to discuss this controversial subject at this particular time. However, I want you to know that I do not shun controversy. On the contrary, I will take a stand on any issue at any time, regardless of how fraught with controversy it might be. You have asked me how I feel about whiskey. All right, here is how I feel about whiskey:
If when you say whiskey you mean the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacle of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, and despair, and shame and helplessness, and hopelessness, then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness, and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies, and heartaches, and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm; to build highways and hospitals and schools, then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise.

Let's start a ruckus, shall we?
I take my Single Malt with a glass of ice. I enjoy tasting the various flavor combinations that are formed with the melting ice. You?
BTW, it's Rory, for all the right reasons of winning, finishing more consistently, and playing on a wider stage.

That quote was a little something I once saw on the net. Thought a few folks might have enjoyed the read here.
My sipping preference though is for Whisky (not Whiskey - although I have been privileged to sip some reasonable Hibernian offerings).
I take mine neat for the same reasons that you only add ice to yours - I like the taste and flavours.
Lynn's reference to Islay and their wonderful Lagavulin prompted my intervention into this thread as I have just finished a bottle of that beautiful distillation. Highly recommended, smooth, rich and full of soft peaty after taste.
I will report later on the Blair Athol, single malt from the foothills of the Grampian Mountains, Perthshire, that I started on yesterday.

I have never heard of this Island. But you are thinking of Denmark, not Norway. But in case you are interested - both Greenland and Iceland were Norwegian until 1814, when Denmark got them by a mistake when Denmark and Norway split up and Norway was given to Sweden (until 1905) as a result of the Napoleon War.
