Agree 100 percent, but that is also very much in his character.

Probably more exaggerate his injury  to make it look like he’s pressing through.

Thats a great team you have there. Feel a little bit for Horschel, winning the WGC matchplay event this year and finishing top10 at East Lake last week. I don't know how well he goes with the others in the team, but he deserved a shot ahead of Scheffler in my book.  

Edited by Troy Ocker

In the bag: Callaway Mavrik SZ 10,5 driver (X stiff), Cobra King 4 wood (Stiff, 2006 model), Callaway Mavrik irons 4 - P+A (stiff), Cobra King Pur wedges 52, 56 and 60 (stiff) and Odessey white steel putter.  Very happy with the set and the gapping.

Not for this course. He just doesn’t hit it far enough. Same for Na and Kisner. But Na is so solid otherwise I’d go with him over both if Man-Child Bam-Bam Brooks had to bail.

 Brooks is popping a Mich Ultra and making fun of Bryson while walking the course today.  And that is literally it.

Yeah, maybe. Will probably have his PT out on hole 3 of the first match for a stretch session.

Betting odds are currently 1.6 US, 3.2 Europe

I made quite a bit of money in 2018 betting on my team (Europe); this year I see an edge for Americans, but not that much, Europe odd is very tempting

if Brooks is confirmed in the US, with the Feud and Phil as vice captain there would be a lot of pot stirring and finger pointing if something goes wrong the 1st day


I feel like the US made the exact right picks, so a good start in that way! A little concerned about Poulter getting picked ahead of Rose. Of course you can't deny Poulter's super history in the Ryder Cup. But this course would've suited Rose better, maybe this year Poulter will start to fade a bit. Hope I'm wrong! 😀

I feel like what’s overlooked in Ryder Cup stuff (Solheim, Presidents) is just how narrow the margins are. A match that goes to 18, where one player makes a putt and another misses, is a two-point swing: 15-13 could become 14-14 in ONE hole out of the however many holes played that week. If as few as two shots are different over the course of a week, 15-13 can become 13-15.

It’s match play, and it’s 18 holes or fewer. Anything can happen. John Senden can beat Tiger Woods… TWICE, for example.

Exactly and I think the whole thing about team chemistry is way overblown.  It’s whoever plays well that match.

Very true. Great post. That is why going strictly off world golf rankings doesn’t always produce a winner. Polter is on the Euro team for 1 reason only. Get them a point.

Poulter hasn't been a great Ryder Cup player for awhile.

I don't think it's a great course fit for him, either.

Poulter is undefeated in singles.  I wouldn’t play him in all matches but he is very much there to help the team.

Meh. He's 45. And like I said, hasn't been all that great in the past several.

True all around. I am just saying that is the reason he was picked. We shall find out next week.

Brooks, I just read that article, I’m not sure he loves the Ryder Cup that much," Azinger said during an NBC Golf call with the media. "If he doesn’t love it, he should relinquish his spot and get people there who do love the Ryder Cup."

Wow. Go on, Paul … 

"Not everybody embraces it. But if you don’t love it, and you’re not sold out, then I think Brooks should, you know, especially being hurt, consider whether or not he really wants to be there."

The Zinger was the 2008 US Captain. He’s not the best announcer, but I agree with his take.

I too agree. I love the Ryder Cup…but honestly I can say if Brooks plays Rory..I’d easily be rooting for Rory which kinda distorts how I like the RC to be. Brooks is such a putz.

    • I agree with this 100%. I forget what tour player said it but they mentioned how in pro ams they hear amateurs say how they always make a majority of their mid range putts. His reply was no they don’t because if you did you’d be better than everyone on tour. Even pros think they’re better than they are. Back when stats weren’t as well known as today they asked a bunch of pros what the make percentage was on tour for 6 footers. The consensus was around 70%. Crenshaw was the closest with a guess of 50%. Actual percentage was 54%. I always thought it was interesting that one of the best putters was the closest. 
    • Day 145 - 2025-02-22 7-7 today at Golf Evolution. Managed to sneak in some work while waiting for dinner when I got home, though.
    • Day 15: 2/22/25 Putting through50 mm gates weight shift drills. Playing tomorrow, and will see how I do.
    • This is a good point and I’m going to go down this road. I’ll get some data on both techniques, compare the two, and then make a more informed decision. I’m bad about going off of what I “feel” is the best but should definitely approach it with more hard data.  All that being said, this made me laugh and is likely the cause of me wondering if the broomstick would be a better technique. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a new putter?
    • Day 32 (22 Feb 25) - Got in some wedge work with the 58° in the backyard before heading to a noon band rehearsal.  It’s the weakest part of my wedge game, so figured it would be good to work on distance control for a few minutes - varied the distances and lies from 5yds out to about 25yds.  Nice little drill session to kick off the day.
