Maybe the competition should just stay in Wales ?
I'm watching the trophy presentation. What a passionate, classy crowd. They appreciated the quality of the competition they witnessed. You get the feeling they'd cheer no matter the outcome, so long as the play was at such a high level.
If more golf matches were like that here in the US, I'd watch more. Truly exciting. |

I too noted the cheering when US players wound up in the sand or the deep rough. This has been going on in European rounds of the Ryder Cup for some years now: I think anyone who cheers under those circumstances is a chav. It happens in USA rounds as well but not nearly as much and I do believe it is frowned on there, quite rightly, as cheap and unsporting. It's OK in some sports, but not in golf.

In fairness, the Ryder Cup fans did show due respect for the beaten American team; neither were they at all unsporting during the tournament. The cheering of bad shots was disappointing but it was not the keynote of this fierce but totally sporting contest.

Ther's a story about the Ryder Cup when Arnold Palmer was at the height of his powers, probably in the early 60's. It's in the UK, Palmer has flown in in his own private jet to meet the assembled American team, captained by Ben Hogan.
After meeting everyone and exchanging pleasantries Palmer says, "What's this nonsense about us playing with a small ball? I don't play with a small ball." Hogan says, "Who says you're playing?" |

It's a pretty good strong field.
Apart from Woods there are Villegas and Garcia. Garcia played like a hairy goat yesterday. Victoria is usually listed in the top 10 Australian Courses. I don't think much of the first hole, and the finish is a little strange with back to back par 5s. It's a very, very good course though. Not very long by today's standards but no one's been tearing it up. Woods has got to get his swing sorted. He should go and see Jimmy Ballard, Jimmy would sort him out.

I was born in Augusta and have been many times. The course is evil and extremely difficult to see on TV. It is very hilly with rises of up to 300 feet. The grass is absolutely perfect, and the rough looks like the fairways at most courses. The pine trees keep it very tight, some fairways are only 25 yards wide in spots. As a good golfer (+4 hcp), I can honestly say I would shoot over 100 easily, but, alas they won't let me play...damn exclusive membership BS!.
