Ryder Cup 2025 - All matters

The title of the thread.....Ryder Cup 2025-All Matter. I must have missed the part about not being allowed to complain about it. The title should have stated that only those people who LOVE the Ryder Cup are allowed to post anything.

I've been hearing lots about it on tv, radio in the car (not much), on this site, at the golf course (pretty constant) etc. So really.....I just need to lock myself in the bathroom and soak in a hot bath for the next week.

I'm kidding a bit......but there is no easy way for me to avoid the topic unless I turn all media off and stop golfing for at least a week.

If you want a positive comment from me about the Ryder Cub.......I hope it is close and the last couple of guys on Sunday are pooping bricks not wanting to let their side down.

Dissenting opinions are always allowed as long as that dissent is respectful. We’ve not seen anything from you that even comes close to an issue. Crack on…
 
Just had a thought will that final morning group be finished by the time the Fourballs kick off!

Cantlay is slower than one legged man wading through treacle and Bob Mac is painful with his pace of play as well. Is that meant to be a war of attrition or match play!
They might have to let the 1st fourball group through 😂
 
That was my thinking.
They make it sound like the US team are all smashing it & the Europeans are all just keeping it in play.
Easy to spin a certain rhetoric when you want to make your own opinion seem more relevant isn’t it.

The course they play week in week out are all the same so neither side has the advantage in distance or course set up. The only thing against the European team is a Partisan crowd heckling them.
 
For those who will be watching today, please note- whilst watching, you will see about 5 shots an hour, particularly in the 4somes. This means the commentators will be doing lots of filling and , at times, saying things you may not want to hear/think is rubbish. Please accept this fact and don’t come on here moaning about the comments or the voices,etc. Just try and enjoy the golf 😂

*Boring data claxon*

Their SG off the tee is 0.12 better than Europe

Doesn’t sound a lot but over the course of a week that adds up as a decent size advantage

Also out of data golf’s number crunching out of 132 possible pairings based on the data available Morikawa and English were ranked 132 out of 132

It was beyond frustrating at Rome that despite only having 8 balls in play during foursomes the broadcast still missed or didn’t show some tee shots.

Are we ok to moan when despite so little shots being played they actually don’t show all of them due their inane rambling
 
Before the moaning stops or starts, can I just moan about a couple of things please?

The way people (Americans) say the letter O instead of zero or nil. For example, ‘so and so’s record in Ryder cups is 5 4 and oh.’ Just stop.

Also, the way everything is in that format, just say 5 wins, 4 losses and no halves.

Finally, can we get back to hole numbering being 1st, 2nd, 17th, 18th etc? Not ‘over on 1 tee…now to 18 green’.

That is all.

Ps - yes, I’ve listened to ALL the podcasts, American ones too.

Mute |Subtitles - Not as hard on the eyes as the ears.

If truth be told, it's in America, so their dialect. They will have similar comments listening to the commentators when it's here.
