The point I was trying is no one at this moment is scoffing or being derogatory about ladies golf so let’s just focus on thrilling event they have put on as opposed to anyone looking at negatives

Plenty do…maybe not here on this thread - but certainly there are scoffers on here on other threads.

Absolutely nothing negative…just would be nice to hear the scoffers eating their words.

About what though - it was great entertainment as a spectacle but you know that people will point to the quality of the golf
It’s better to just not look for any acceptance and enjoy what you watched
Just read a post by an American asking why the Koreans weren’t playing 
It was interesting that seven (?) of the US team were of Asian origin. Especially against the odds I would think given the wasp-ish dominated background of golf as a privileged sport in the USA.Just read a post by an American asking why the Koreans weren’t playing
As with the long remarked high proportion of Asian's on the LPGA, its a curious proportion.

In very rough figures,
Population of Asia = 4 billion
Population of Europe = 1 billion
Population of N&S Americas combined = 1 billion
Population of Asia = 4 billion
Population of Europe = 1 billion
Population of N&S Americas combined = 1 billion
Relevance ?

All the 3 handicappers who think they'd make the cut every week on the LPGA.....
What ?

In merely numbers, the world is dominated by Asian people.
In billions, it is Asia, Americas, Europe, Africa in the proportion 4:1:1:1
With the greater mobility and opportunities arising in the world, it is not surprising to me to see people of Asian origin outnumbering others in global events.

It should surprise you.
Following your logic though, it does explain how Asian teams have always dominated the football world cup and have won most of them. Oh wait...

That was then.
Economics have played a great part in opportunities for sporting success.
The world is changing and will continue to change.
This century will see a rise in prosperity for Asia and then Africa. Their populations will rise as will their economic prosperity, whereas America and Europe will remain stable.
World population will rise from 7 billion at the start of this century to 10 or 11 billion by the end.
Proportions of population in billions for Asia: Africa: Europe: Americas could be 6:2:1:1 by about 2075.
America and Europe will no longer dominate the world economically or in sporting success.
I can see it starting to happen now and I expect it to continue.

Well, this thread became immensely dull very quickly 
Moving on back to the golf…..
Great performance from the ladies, especially after the first session, great mental resilience from the whole team.
As for Ciganda, that last 2 iron shots under that pressure, just superb.
I’m not sure there will be any change for the European team next year.

With respect, that is nonsense as an explanation of the proportion of successful Asian ladies on the US team or the LPGA. Are 7/12 of the totality of US lady golfers of Asian origin ?

Was surprising to see that prob Europes number 1 and best player Boutier was the one player who ended up with 0 points and you have Ciganda winning 4 out of 4 , with Grant and Maguire having 3
