My tee shot to 170m par 3 16th hole-hardest on course, guarded by lake & big bunkers. Tap-in birdie! #fb http://twitpic.com/jp110
The place we’re staying is an old Catholic workhouse for children. Impressive, yet sinister feel! #fb http://twitpic.com/jp0uq
The bar at the place we’re staying has NO ALCOHOL. Apparently they had big golf competition at weekend, cleaned them out! I.WANT.BEER! #fb
Paid for half board at hotel, but restaurant is closed 3 nights out of the 4 we are here! WTF?!!! #fb
Played Loudun twice (!) today. Shot 86 and 83 (4 birdies!)
Had great meal in the local village tonight though! Tuna and duck breast (not on same plate!). Yum yum in my tum. #fb
Got seriously bum-fucked by my TomTom.From St Nom-Le-Breteche to Roiffe it took me via Paris peripherique. Extra half hour.Serious fail! #fb
Travelled down to Domaine Saint Hilaire (an old childrens workhouse!) to play golf at Golf de Loudun. Nice course. Shot 89 #fb
Miguel Angel Jimenez-my short game hero-on the final hole at the Vivendi Trophy (St Nom-Le-Breteche) #fb http://twitpic.com/jhxfi
Nail-biting final day in the Vivendi/Seve Trophy. GB&I get a drubbing in the singles, but hang on to win 16.5-12.5 #fb
Well done to McIlroy, McDowell, Rock & Woods for grinding out a result on the final day. Well done Europe for making a real fight of it #fb
Watching Miguel Angel Jimenez live on course is like watching a short game master class. The man is a genius. #fb
Vivendi/Seve Trophy: Rock and Woods left it to the last 3 holes to work their magic and salvage some pride for GB&I. Very exciting! #fb
No disrespect intended to the lads who DID turn out-they played a blinder! If I was Monty,I would be looking here for my Ryder Cup picks #fb
Brilliant day of golf today. Watched Woods & Fisher v A Hansen & Molinari followed by Wilson & Rock v Jimenez & Quiros. Jimenez amazing #fb
Watching Europe’s big guns turn out for the Seve Trophy, it’s a shame ours couldn’t be bothered. Yes you, Poulter, Rose & Westwood! #fb
Both games we watched went down to the wire. V exciting! GB&I take a 6 point lead into the singles tomorrow #fb
Fantastic second day at the Vivendi/Seve Trophy. GB&I Pull slightly further ahead, holding a 6-4 lead going into the weekend #fb
Shot of the day: Chris Wood 200m with a 3 iron through a tree. No shot at the green, still got down in par. Amazing stuff! #fb
Rory McIlroy and Graham McDowell on the practice range. His 6 iron goes longer than my driver! http://twitpic.com/j1pv5
Chris Wood being interviewed day 2 #fb http://twitpic.com/j1qfz
Fabulous course here, and great organisation for this tournament. Well done Vivendi/SFR. GB&I doing well so far #fb
McIlroy and McDowell not doing so well, so we’re gonna switch to the Wall/Wood vs Jimenez/Keldsen game, where GB&I is one up #fb
Webster and Rock just pulled one back at the 12th #fb http://twitpic.com/j27tf
Great day at Vivendi Trophy. GB&I leading the Europeans 3-2 after first day of fourballs. #fb
Good to see Monty giving Poulter what for for ducking out of the Vivendi Trophy….
Monty doing ambassadorial role right b4 running down small dog which dared to try crossing fairway #fb http://twitpic.com/iyfhh
Don’t see why those who refuse to represent their country in this tournament should expect to get a free ride into the Ryder Cup team
Poulter will need to buck his ideas up & play his way onto the Ryder Cup team now he has got on Monty’s bad side (does he have a good one?)
Back 9 should have been 38! 2 birdies, 3 pars and 3 bogies spoiled by triple on 18th! Only 13 putts on back 9 too (29 total) #fb
Twitter playing with the big boys now as it raises $100 million at a $1 billion valuation in latest round of funding http://bit.ly/4xsPcp
Played St Quentin en Evelynes Bleu course today-lucky find so close to our hotel. Shot 87 (47 out, 40 back) including 2 birdies! #fb
Is there a more beautiful motorway drive than the A71 up the centre of France? I think not. The Millau bridge still takes my breath away #fb
See you at the Vivendi Trophy then! Come on you Brits! #fb
I’ll be the one standing behind Rory McIlroy in my Sideshow Bob outfit. #fb
Oh come on… you MUST have noticed the Krusty the Clown thing Rory has going on with his hair? #fb

Scored 87 with Stuart & Hans today. 7 pars, 11 fairways, 5 greens, 34 putts, 232m ave drive. Why can’t I do that in competition? #fb
With green condition plus wind returning for last 2 competitions,about time they stopped docking a Stableford point and started adding 1 #fb
Condition of greens still terrible after aeration. Running very slow and nowhere near true #fb
Mixed bag in competition.6 pars,10 fairways,35 putts,ave drive 223m.BUT 4 catastrophic holes for score of 94.Struggling with new swing #fb
Watched Watchmen. Not sure how much was added for director’s cut but it ran about 30 minutes too long for me. Really enjoyed it though #fb
Great lunch after the competition with Sylvette, Marcel & friends. Olivier has transformed the 19th Hole. Great food, great atmosphere #fb
Quick! Go outside, it’s raining! Can’t remember the last time we saw any… #fb
is thinking he must be mad to play in competition whole still trying to incorporate a swing change! #fb
RT @vikphatak:Getting hate mail.Must mean @NSSLabs is doing something right.Some people react badly when told the emperor has no clothes ;-)
Great scramble game with Stuart (vs the girls). 10 pars, 1 birdie, 27 putts, 10 fairways, 2 greens, 38 out and 40 back for a total of 78 #fb
And yet the girls (Lynne & Chantal) STILL beat us by 1 hole!!! We were crushed…not giving them 2 strokes on the par 5’s next time! :o) #fb
