best things about the Ryder Cup

[swingstar1]

morning all

the thread about the Ryder Cup fashion got me thinking about what makes the Ryder Cup so great

here's my starters for ten

The first tee shot on Friday
the American wives
being able to be partisan
Phil Price humbling Phil Mickleson
Excitable TV commenatry - there's always a good lack of imparitiality from the Sky boys!
The look of genuine fear on some of the player's faces

any advance.......?

Monty's sense of self importance gets another booster

Clearly the outfits have to get a mention...
Seve's wild and manic look
the unrivalled emotional drama...tears will be flowing at this blue house for sure!

tiger getting a regular mauling in the fourballs and foursomes
caddies' over enthusiastic celebrations
asking to see very short putts
captians giving it the banana splits round the course in buggies

Faldo and Seve's tearful hug in 1995 is my highlight

What is it about the Ryder Cup and stirring emotions? If Clarke does something crucial to a European win on Sunday most of Europe will be in tears again. Sport has a habit of producing fairy tales....

while we're on tears what about Garcia's blubbing at Brookline

great Seve hugs of our time
Rocca
Walton
Olazabal

Good shout

Also loved Thomas Levet planting a massive kiss on Monty last time out as well

there's no accounting for those Frenchies is there!

Eammon Darcy's jog has to be a huge highlight....what will the Irish contingent do this time if Europe regain?!

Langer at the last Ryder Cup. He was like Robocop... with snazzy shoes.
