Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

Excited - can't wait - even HID is up for it

nb. two months after we met she sat up with me watching Sandy win the Masters - she'd never watched golf before and got quite into it - what fun we had...

A great read here by Rory - http://www.theplayerstribune.com/rory-mcilroy-ryder-cup/

Sooooo close now, haven't been this excited since.....well ever

Fly out first thing in the morning, Hazeltine here we come :whoo::whoo:

Now to think up something potato-based to shout out as the players tee-off

I always thought "Toad in the hole" would be a good shout, food based and similar to that most annoying "gedinthahole"

Well Darren Clark turned up with the trophy and it looks like Primark had a good day kitting him out.

That aside, cmon Europe.

Diary cleared for Friday.. looking for the last British Ryder Cup.. Americans are sure to invoke the spirit of the King but then Arnie was a global icon and not just American so will be interesting.. Ole Ole Ole Ole

 

[Pin-seeker]

Why would you have Bubba any where near the team?
Really hope we stuff em.

Interesting to notice how the Europeans in recent years during practise rounds and some during the event, and with the team photo they don't wear caps of any sort.

Been watching the re runs over the last couple of days and you only have to look and see how motivated the Europeans are and how much it means to them - every single one of them. Where as bar 2008 the US just don't seem to be getting that fired up or that bothered half the time

Dauphinoise - it has a European feel about it, and classy.

Great read indeed

I'm going for a Europe win. The Americans will have underestimated us too much

That's my choice for Europe

 

[Garush34]

My teams here - Europe - http://bbc.in/2cC3hEI US - http://bbc.in/2dk9nFR

I recon US takes it in the all time match. Better win percentages out of the US team.

I chose the following for my all-time European team on the BBC Website:

Seve, Ollie, Faldo, Monty, Langer, Westwood, Poulter, McIlroy, Garcia, Clarke, Donald, Rose.

Pretty formidable I thought!

Curious as to whose authority and on what basis this the "Official Thread" ?

Yeah.....who put Phil in charge??

Which seems a daft method. World number seven should be able to play golf to a good enough standard.

Bottom line is he hasn't been in good enough form. His world ranking is heavily weighted to 2 years ago, he'll plummet quickly if he doesn't get some good results soon

Unsure if it's been covered but Danny Wilkerson brother has been brought up at Darren Clarke's press conference after his article in National Club Golfer.

PJ has made comments that will fire the crowd up more and target Danny for abuse.

Wow. I'm surprised it got passed for publication.

It is the rudest article I think I've ever read, and if it were the other way round we would all be fuming.
