Kilts at the Ryder Cup

[jgcunningham]

Looking through a gallery of fans at this year's Ryder Cup in Wales, I found a pic of these kilted gents:

Are any of them Xmarkers?

They are holding the flag of the Isle of Man. As far as I know, we don't have any Manxmen as members.

Although it is just down the road from me I haven't been or even watched the event, bar that on the local news.

I do not recognise any of the kilted chaps but it's interesting they are showing the Triskelion flag of the Isle of Man.

Kind of puts Troon to shame, even if they are not playing themselves!

Is it the Manx tartan?

I thought that there might be only one or two, but there are lots of Isle of Man or Manx tartans.

Some lovely tartans there Chas, thanks for sharing.

I especially like the Manx National - more power to blue tartans!

I was thinking the same thing! Jacobite shirt & PC is a look I've seen far too often around here. But usually with a claymore.

Or even better, with a katana!
