I'm a little surprised that there hasn't been any discussion of the Captain's Picks.  Any thoughts?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

The heckling in these tournaments has come to a point where it’s off-putting and makes me less likely to want to watch.

United States Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley today announced Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Ben Griffin, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas and Cameron Young as his six captain’s picks for the 2025 United States Ryder Cup Team.

Quote

Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau qualified via points

From the Ryder Cup site. I think they are decent picks. Griffin has some swagger and Burns has been playing well of late. Thomas is hit or miss in my opinion.

Morikawa is a favorite of mine but his play has been a bit sketchy. However, per the Ryder cup page he ranked second on the PGA TOUR this season in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (1.233) and third in Strokes Gained: Approach the Green (0.848). That will help in team play.

I'm having trouble getting interested in the 2025 Ryder Cup. Although I do applaud the PGA for how much it costs to attend and Team USA getting paid; absolutely defines professional golf in 2025. I'm tired of the "grow the game" BS.

I'm in the same boat.  I think the last team event I got really excited for was the 2019 Presidents' Cup.  When I first got into golf, the Ryder Cup was an event (one among many) I used to plan my schedule around to make sure I'm able to watch it.   I'm not sure I realized how close it was until I saw this thread pop up.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

This might actually be the first Ryder cup I've ever been even mildly interested in. Looking forward to seeing some of these younger guys go at it with the established traditional names of the past ten years

I admire and respect the Euros' willingness to wear shirts that are a size too small and own the look.

Looking like the best the U.S. can hope for out of the morning is to win two close matches and lose big in the other two.

More likely might be 1-3 or 0-4 (or 1.5 or 0.5).

It's one session, but man… IMO if they lose this one (the whole Cup, not the morning foursomes), the Ryder Cup takes a huge hit. I'm not sure Tiger wants to captain a team like this. I'm not sure anyone really would.

I have no clue what is up with the US players. Lack of focus, energy. 

Data golf having some life update stats. Woof, that is ugly man.

I’ve had two nice beach days and played golf yesterday morning. Glad I’m not watching.

Truly, gone are the days where a player hits a great tee shot in the competition and rides his driver down the fairway like a hobby horse.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      By wacker · Posted

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
