Afterall, you have a reputation for it. If the US has no respect for the game, why is it we have more here than in any other country and we have the best golfers and reputations around ? Relax and you will feel much better later :)

Errr......could it have anything to do with the fact that you have the largest population of any golf playing country ??????

Nothing wrong with cheering your team on.....but to hear every time an American struck a ball, the shouts of "geeet in the holeee", "whoooooh", or some other gormless shout was tiresome to say the least.

So who was doing the whooping and hollering then?

you have the best golfers? maybe, given the population of the US. Reputations? dont make me laugh.

As for my reputation, you dont know me, so dont make assumptions please and why is my rudeness expected? it is just my opinion of your country in general. I never once said anything personal to you. So please elaborate on my general expected rudness?

I also am very well aware of the etiquete of golf, and have been in various high level golfing circles in my time also.

I am totally relaxed espcially as its another 2 years before i need to watch a hollering, whooping fat yank

I vote Boo Weekley gets to be captain soon as I'd love to hear his speech. Listening to him talk is frickin hilarious.

Watching him though is sickening.:mad:

Any hopes of a putative comeback disappeared down the toilet when Furyk/Jimenez came to the short 14th. Furyk was 3 up after 13.

Europe had been clawing their way back into contention and were ahead in 3 of the last 4 matches, and hopes were raised when Furyk hit his tee shot way to the right onto a dirt road behind some spectators. Jimenez then went pin-hi with a shortish putt for a birdie 2, and a valuable match point.

And what happened?

Furyk recovered brilliantly, Jimenez (who I thought looked out of sorts all weekend) missed his putt, and Furyk escaped with a half.

At that point it was 'Goodnight, Mavis'.

Thats better than me.. Only thing i held at Southwind last year was John Daly's drink while trying to clean his face up after we responded to his house on the domestic call the night before. I will agree he is definitely the worst embarrassment to the game but he did give my son a very nice set of his golf clubs while my son did his internship there last year.

Re: Ryder Cup
 
The US team finally got it together and played with passion and unity .... the inclusion of the new players into the team added that passion for sure. Our old guard were hopeless - Garcia should be forgotten for next time - and Harrington has never done anything in the cup - the man has no fire.

BUT - this is where the yanks go wrong ..... theres passion, and theres balls out crassness, which is what it ended up being. Why the hell cant they support their team and enjoy a sport in a way the rest of the world does when their team is playing , why do they turn into woooping idiots? Style to the Yanks is gold plated taps, wall to wall marble, gold leaf ceilings, tinted windows and 22" rims on a Rolls Royce ...... there may be money and wealth, but not a CLUE about style and culture.

as for being the worlds superpower and leader ..... they couldnt beat a bunch of lads in tunnels under paddy fields 40 years ago and they're not getting too far either with the rag heads in the middle east.

Get rid of the ego USA, you make yourself look stupid, the rest of the world laughs at you - not with you. That why more than 80% have never left the US ..... god forbid they actually see there is more on the planet.

and enjoy the cup ...... it'll be back over the pond in 2 years time.

oh - and I'm a PGA Golf Professional, ex tour player, now a Director of Golf ..... I hold the highest qualifications on this subject therefore what I say goes :p
