The 2014 Ryder Cup!

Is it me or does anyone else think that the USA jumpers, yesterday and today, look like they were knitted by granny?

Exactly what Mrs V said. Awful, awful knitwear.

I think back to my childhood and shudder. I had a baby blue care-bear jumper inflicted on me. The pattern and the itchiness were not as horrifying as the pain of trying to get this thing over my head.

Anyway, back to the golf....

F

Home captain decides the pins and why would you want to keep them away in practise when the European team are out as well

I was thinking just keep a couple of pin positions quiet, let the Europeans know so they can putt to that spot in practice without revealing it, and spring it on singles day.

What are your thoughts on it?

I'm not sure.
I'm thinking that there's a common theme in all this, I just can't quite put a finger on him ................. I mean it.

I'm feeling a big shift in momentum towards the Americans right now.
Justin seems to be putting up a hell of a fight.
Maybe Rose is the new Poulter?

Was it just me, or was anyone else not over impressed with the look of the course. Seemed to be like an American stadium course with loads of bunkers every where, and big run off areas. The greens also seemed slow, although that seemed to affect the US players more than ours.

Traditionally The Ryder Cup has not never been played on 'classic' golf courses really. Many have said that the course they are playing on is the 3rd best at Gleneagles. The thing they want are holes that will generate excitement in matchplay golf and somewhere to put all the punters, so I suspect that is more of priority. And understandably so.

I don't know what the other two are like, but this has been designed to be a great spectators' course.
There seem to be great vantage points
I'm not keen on the lakes- they look a little out of place. The "dry" water hazards look more natural

He is a massive bell who can't help but stick his massive foot in it. His Captains speech and intro was an embarrassment.

It was all Me Me Me , Oh and there's a dozen other guys here as well.

Re Faldo's comments yesterday- he's commentating for a US TV channel so is clearly talking to his "home" side

 

[Slime]

Justin Rose could walk accross the water hazards right now!

I think by the way they are currently playing the mantle has well and truly been passed on. Rose is smashing it.

Rose and Stenson, Bubba and Kuch. I haven't seen golf as good as this since I was 26 under on PS2's Everybody's Golf.

The US are playing some mighty fine golf at the moment. Rory's match will be very important, shame he seems to be playing 1 versus 2 on most holes.

Yup.

Westwood either wins big or gets stuffed!

 

[gripitripit]

Have a feeling it gonna be 6-6 going into the afternoon with the momentum fully with the Septics! 😕

 

[Piece]

With Stenson out, will Rose play this pm and who with? Garcia?

 

[Piece]

Can't see Reed and Speith being rested this afternoon!

 

[gripitripit]

Get Rory out with Gmac. Westwood and Victor. Leave Poulter well away from it. Split Kaymer and Thomas B.

 

[Piece]

Some signs this morning that not enough of our guys are on form, compared to the Americans. Getting a bit worried about the singles...

 

[gripitripit]

About time.... Get in Poults

No Big Phil today then. Interesting decision, may be 36 holes wiped him out yesterday.
