why no ryder cup thread ;)

I feel like popping some popcorn.

Is golf really a sport?

Also, why was Tiger chosen to play on the Ryder Cup team when that totally is not his best game format?

Wow.. Almost forgot about the Ryder Cup...  

I didn't know Ryder Hesjedal had a line of athletic supporters?

It means more if you start the thread BEFORE Europe wins the cup back.

Congrats, though 

He's cute. I fully support him. Nice bike too.

 I love Golf...   It's a game for a lifetime that one will never master. No matter how poorly you play, there will always be that one shot or putt that will bring you back for more.  Definitely Chicken Soup for the soul..  

I agree that Tiger should have sit this one out, but if the Coach picks you any pro wold be foolish not to accept.  Again.. my 2 cents 

Doesn't really count if you talk trash AFTER it's over. 

DANGIT!!!!! I thought this was a thread about my latest sporting interest - sailing. What is that cup called, anyway?

I'm not much of a spectator. I like to play, rather than watch.

Do-do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do-do DOOT do do do do do (theme from Jeopardy while I google for my own answer) ...

America's Cup!

Cause he never shagged a Welsh chick and this is his best chance?

Yeah, and he's an excellent match play player.

This makes me laugh.  Woods and Stricker had the best record record of all American players.  Two Americans went without a win and Mickelson (World's #3) went 1-3-0.
 
The other three Captain's picks for the U.S. went a combined 3-2-5 with Zach Johnson at 2-1-0, Stewart Cink at 1-0-3 and Rickie Fowler at 0-1-2. 

The fact of the matter is that this is not golf as most American's know the game.  This is match play.  Match play means that if you win the hole you get a point and if you lose a hole your opponent gets a point.  If you tie, no points are given.  This style is perfect for Tiger Woods because he is most often very good in a particular round and he may have 3 holes where he is very bad.  Rarely does he motor along at par, but instead he plays birdie, birdie, bogey, par, birdie, double bogey, par etc. 

That would be a round score of par in stroke play, but give you and excellent chance of winning 3 holes, losing two and pushing two - depending on your opponent.  In that case he is 1 up.  Huge difference in the game. 

I'd love to see the US win... We'll see if Tiger can bring it this week..

Ummmm...it ended today.  You're gonna have to wait two more years to see if we can win.

LOL.. Thanks..    I guess I love playing the game more than watching it.. 

I plan on attending 2012.  Playing at Medinah Country Club in Chicago.  That's about 5 hours away from me. 

Now who do I know in Chicago.
