The Ryder Cup 2018 has teed off in Paris.

The golf competition between Europe and the United States takes place every two years.

Golf greats representing Team Europe include Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson.

While Team USA includes Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler.

The 42nd Ryder Cup got Garry and Fionnuala thinking about why golf is such a great sport...

Professional golfers come in for criticism as many of them aren't exactly poster children for fitness.

But that's why we love the sport and feel we could also turn pro.

Forget the intense daily workouts, strict diets and ice baths that come with football, ruby and boxing - there's just a bit of walking involved in golf.

Oh and some arm swinging...but sure look, easy right?

There's amazing views

The Albatros course at Le Golf National

The world's most famous golf courses are designed to give players stunning views.

Whether you're looking to play alongside the ocean, mountains, or a city skyline, there's a golf course for you.

The Ryder Cup 2018 is taking place on the Albatros course at Le Golf National, which was constructed specifically with TV coverage in mind.

The shot tracer technology

Perhaps golf's greatest invention, thanks to shot tracer technology, we're now able to watch the sport on TV in a whole new way.

The technology traces a players' golf ball in the sky so that the viewer can see the exact pattern of the shot.

It makes the game seem incredibly entertaining.
