Ryder Cup

The European Press is absolutely crapping themselves with joy over this Ryder Cup victory. BBC Sports has a very interesting article that chimes in along these same lines.

But, what I find very interesting about these Euro lovers who are Back slapping themselves six ways from Sunday is the omission of this observation: it might be a very good sign that American golfers .... not NFL football players, but golfers .... do not excel in teaming in golf.

For it reflects an attitude the Euro sweeties do NOT have: individual boot strap mentality. It is us, the USA, soup to nuts, that is responsible for the Euros not having to read Pravda every morning.

Maybe Phil and Tiger being teamed up early wasn't a good idea. Bottom line, that's not the big story. Over the last ten years, even including the anomoly at Brookline in 1999, the Euros have played to their "strength" .... four ball competitions which DRAMATICALLY reduces the pressure on an individual golfer.

That's what Europe is all about ... shifting the real pressure to the folks who can handle it: the Americans. Another way to say this is that there is a reason why Europeans so eagerly look forward to the Ryder Cup: defeat fatigue in stroke play competitions w/ Americans.

(I bet the Aussies and S. Africans could have a word or two to add about this...)

Hey dumbass that’s not Hillsborough! You really don’t know anything do you except how to look though search engines to look up crap on English football, when the topic is about how Europe won the 2004 Ryder cup!

With Chris Dimarco and his poor sport excuses, fat Phil and that dumb ass grin, and Tiger Woods showing like all Black American's he is a women abuser, chasing off his Swedish bitch. You will find that 8 out of 12 of the Americans will break down ala David Duval , and resort to mood correcting drugs. Some of the women American golfers that look like men , Julie Ingster or Meg Mallon could have help this team. The bottom line is America must look inward and decide if they want to continue being a nation of Obese , lacking culture and resisting the need to learn more than one language.

Even vaguely caring about golf is a sign of paralyzing torpor.

Its not my fault I look like Fred Flintstone.

After looking up in the dictionary what " torpor" means , I would agree with you , I think.

seriously dude--dont go spouting off about hillsborough disaster! that is tagic and still a very touchey subject! had nothing to do with crowd violence and fighting, just a terrible situation which god willing will never repeat itself!

Population of United States- 294 million

Population of Europe- 340 million

I think when you consider that very little golf is played in former Eastern Block countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland etc.........you have to say that the Ryder cup is a fair contest. So what if it is Europe is a continent. Hey, make it a Europe Vs. N America match, you'll only get Mike Weir, how much difference is he gonna make??

Dude. Way out of line mentioning Hillsborough by the way.

Attributing the Hillsborough disaster to football hooligans is like blaming American Airlines for 9-11. Stupid, inaccurate and plain insulting.

You should apologise.

Props to the Europeans; they were the better team. But when are we going to get to comepte against another country instead of a f***ing comglomerate of countries in the Ryder Cup or President's cup or whatever? I want US versus Wales in the next match. Let's hear it from all you Eurofags complaining about population comparisons; but isn't that what true international competition is about? England doesn't play against Asia when it competes for the Rugby World Cup, does it?

Do you know what happened at Hillsborough you ignorant f***? Don't even think about comparing that to anything thats happened in the Ryder Cup over the years. Its got nothing to do with it.
