Really? I think its wonderful! Enjoy it, have fun with it! It was made to put booze in!

Philly Mick went all out:

"I've loved having the Jug with me for the last 12 months," he said. "The people who know and love the game get a big kick out of it. They really appreciate what it means to hold such a famous trophy. And drink out of it."

But what do they drink? Beer? Liquor?

No.

"I only let them drink the good stuff of course. There's been nothing in there that is sub-par. But the best was a 1990 bottle of Romanee Conti wine. It wasn't on my dime thankfully. It costs about $40,000."

Couple of years ago I remember people moaning about Poulter letting his kids eat cereal out of the Ryder Cup - we had the Premiership Trophy and Ryder Cup at my football ground a couple of weeks ago - nobody at all except the minder (with white gloves on) was allowed to touch the Premiership Trophy (I wasn't interested in it anyway) - everyone who wanted got to hold the Ryder Cup for a photo - even me.

As long as it doesn't get damaged then trophies are meant for the winners to enjoy.

couldnt agree more, just keep it to themselves/family/friends.

So celebrate but do it quietly? Random.....

I thought, there were always three copies made for the winner and he got to keep those but never the original, that stays with the R&A!

In commentary I think they said that about another trophy but this they get all year...

Edit, yes they said it about the rider cup trophy, I recall now.

Probably tame compared to what happens to the Stanley cup

didnt say that

 

[Doon frae Troon]

My dad was looking after the Champions locker room at Muirfield for Faldo's last Open.

After the presentation etc he found himself alone in the room with the newly engraved cup.
Faldo had dumped it on a table and moved back outside.
Dad was desperate for a pee so he picked the cup up and locked it away in a spare locker.
Faldo returned to an empty room with no Claret Jug and was just about to press the panic button when my dad returned.

They sat down for 10 minutes and had a wee chin wag.
Up till then my dad could not stand Faldo, afterwards he said he was a decent bloke.

You beat me to it, the Stanley Cup has all sorts done to it, from being a dog bowl to an ice cream bowl! I think I've seven seen a fish in there!

 

[Doon frae Troon]

There are 4 Ryder Cups.....3 copies.

The Calcutta Cup has probably had a more interesting past!

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Another trophy with stories

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Darren Clarke told me (as we walked towards the 11th green on the Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush - thanks GM ) that he didn't once put anything in it. Still not sure I believe him.

Hockey players are animals, god only knows what that cups had done to it, I dread to think
