..well sort of

After much deliberation in the office we have narrowed it down to three entries and we'd like you to vote for your favourite. Voting closes at 8pm tonight. The most votes gets the booty which now includes the 'media bib' GM were issued with to allow us inside the ropes. A nice little bit of memorabilia

The shorlist is as follows - please review, then cast your votes!

Imurg
Standing in the pouring rain, soaked from head to foot, flipping a coin to determine if we were going to stay and hope for play or go home. It was 1.55 and they'd just put play back till at least 4pm. Heads we stay, tails we go. Came down heads, we stayed and saw Ian Poulter's putt on the 10th in the half-light and screamed away all the frustrations.

I didn't see much of it but at the press conference after when Stewart Cink stuck up for Hunter Mahan that sums up the Ryder Cup for me a small piece of humanity, it doesn't go amiss sometimes and thats what the USA miss at times, they were in it as a team not 12 individuals.

GB72
Not strictly a golfing moment but I with many others, was sitting and waiting for play on the first day feeling sorry for the crowds out there in the wet seeing no golf. Then the cameras cut to club house for interviews and every single one of the European team were out with the crowd signing autographs, having a chat and throwing out balls, gloves, tees, just about anything that was not nailed down seemed to go out into the crowd. Now in many other sports you could easily imagine the highly paid indviduals going into hiding in the warm and the dry but here was a team showing their appreciation to those waiting around for them in truely awful conditions. You can imagine that if it was logistically possible they would have had them all in the clubhouse for a cup of tea.
 
Gone for Steve's post as that moment really showed me that the US were more of a team than I imagined. Also, the whole event showed Stuart Cink to be a top top guy, well done to him.
 
Very hard call! there were lots of others I liked too.
For me it's GB72 by a whisker - maybe because it's something I wouldn't have known about otherwise and seems to sum up the spirit of Team Monty.

PS Any prize for the best written judgement?

Imurg, surley must get it, He was there and got soaked. Hard luck on the toss Imurg

...so had plenty of opportunity to pick up Ryder Cup titbits while he was there then and doesn't need any hand-outs!

that's a bit (more than a bit) sour!

liked GB's entry but voted for Imurg (before I read this post!) because he stayed and suffered for all of us.
 
Imurg, as it can't have been pleasant to have gone there and had water poured on your dreams... literally!
 
It was I who decided that we had make a decision to stay or Go
It was I who took the coin out of my pocket
It was I that called Heads or tails
It was I who tossed the coin
It was I who Read the result and made the decision to stay

It was Imurg who put the post up first

BASTID


I still voted for you Buddy

Fragger ( bits of me still have mildew) :D
