nothing real suprising... but an interesting little article

the anthem thing is kind of funny, and in most professional sports the visiting team has lesser locker rooms... it's really no excuse (and I'm not sure Garcia thinks it is either)...

"The locker-room we had was really, really small and uncomfortable. I wish it had been even half the size of theirs (The USA's).

It's called home-field advantage Sergio, that's what happens when you play a team sport. Get over it, you have your shot in two years. This is why other athletes have issue with considering golf a sport, this kind of snobbery hurts the game. Sergio is by far the most ungrateful looser on tour, though Woody gives him a close run now and then.

Thanks for the article....

So far I liked Sergio, but these remarks will let him drop quite a bit in my ranking.

I mean, come on: shower, locker room, anthem.... ridiculous.

The reason for the defeat was, that Garcia, Harrington et al. just did their jobs, while the US team was enthusiastic and really wanted to win.
Plain and simple.

As a European, I don't like to hear such whinging from one of our top players. The US team played tremendous golf that week and thoroughly deserved to win. Most of the Europeans didn't produce the goods and got beaten - end of story.

As someone said, the home team always has an advantage. I'm sure Seve played worst 'tricks' on the visiting US team in Valderrama!

I'm sure, as is the case with a lot of interviews, some of that was taken out of context and/or the quotes are incomplete.

I saw it yesterday on Golf Central. I really think it's a shame that a great palyer like him, make news of what he talks than the way he plays. Also I think it's a shame how the rivarly between Sergio and Padraig has became worst. I hope that in the 09 season they don't play together in the same group because it will not be comfotable even to watch. LOL.

What does he mean "they knew where the pins and tees were going to be and we didn't"?

Didn't they and their caddies get to walk and play the same course as the USA? Or did I miss something.

Thanks for the article....

Come on, don't be silly... Every time an European missed a green or a putt, you guy's (you, has in american) would go histerical. Is that home field advantage too? The answer is yes... if the sport is football, soccer, basketball... Golf is a game of gentleman, and I just think that Garcia has every right to be upset by that. Specially by the anthem part. That is shamefull. You don't have to know the other country's anthem, but you sure have to respect them. I bet that you'd not like if the ryder cup was played in europe and your anthem was not played.

Has I said above, unless you are affiliated to one golf club, you do not have the home turf advantage, even if you are playing agaist foreigners in a great match like the Ryder Cup. That was not the spirit the Ryder Cup was meant to be played in, just like what happened during the 1999 match. It is disrespectfull and shamefull for the U.S. side and for every american who participated and did what I described above. Plus everyone hates Sergio because he has been destroying the US side in past maches.

I forgot... the crowds behave perfectly in Europe? 08' was nothing like Brookline... at Brookline the US team used poor judgement, at the 08' cup it was a few bad apple fans. Not at all the same. There should be an advantage for the home team even in golf... the locker rooms and such frivilous crap is really a non-issue and Sergio (whom I like, not sure why, but I do) was being a little bitch by complaining (unless comments were totally out of context). and actually they played his anthem twice... it was the Sweedes who got left out.... and that was certainly most likely an error by some guy working the sound board, not some conspiracy to shame or deflate the euros. Seriously... this is petty shit and Sergio is whinning... just like the "waiting to hit my shot while bunker is raked"... "playing against more than the field", etc. comments.

That is all true, but he was not complaining about unfair cheering. I would have understood that.

He is complaining about the size of the locker room. Messing up the anthem is definitely stupid (by the organizers), but if that has bugged him so bad that he could not play, he should work with a mental coach. The only guys who could have really been upset where the swedish, but if I remember correctly they did a really good job. Sergio should stop whining about showers and toilets, and keep kicking Anthony Kims and the others backsides on the golfcourse.

Sergio should be shaved, sterilized, and destroyed.

12 monkeys reference?

also, i agree with the folks who say sergio just needs to can it. play your game and quit your whining. i mean come on. the locker room only had two showers? what difference does THAT make? doesn't your hotel room have a shower?

I would be complaining quite a bit too if Anthony Kim came out and whooped my ass like he did Sergio's. Apparently he's yet to come to the conclusion that there is no excuse for cracking under pressure, and that's what he does best.

This is the biggest POS Anti-American whining I have seen in a while on these boards. If you or Sergio don't like our culture, your damn well welcome to stay on your side of the pond.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
