I'm from canada, and I'm really not sure on what side I'm suppose to be, I know Mike Weir is on the international team, but besides of that I feel i'm more american than any other region in the world, nothing against them, but i'm hoping the US wins (except matches against Weir).

I'm I normal? how to other canadians feel about that.

Anyway hope to see good golf this weekend.

Just enjoy the golf, I wouldn't worry about who to support, just support good golf.

Hopefully the fourballs will bring some better play today.

Not the greatest course for matchplay due to the lack of bunkers imo.

I agree with ya Golden. Weir should be able to play in the President & Ryder cups if he qualifies. The US and Canada are basicly relatives!!

I have a similar dilemma, in that there's one player on the American team who I'm not very fond of. I struggled with this at last year's Ryder Cup, too. I eventually decided that I can root on a match-by-match basis, and on an overall basis. So, I want the Americans to win, and that's an overriding deal, but if a certain someone makes zero points in the process, I can't say I'll be upset by it.

Not me; I'm Canadian too, and because Weir is on the team, pulling for the International team. For that matter, I usually cheer for Europe in the Ryder Cup matches too.

Looking forward to watching it on the weekend.

Are you talking about Tiger Woods?, lol.

Directed at me, rooting against a particular player? No. It actually doesn't fit my hint: it's clearly someone who was on the Ryder Cup team last year.

I think the bashing goes both ways. Anyway, We are much more related than the two sides are willing to admit.

come on... out with it. Do you hate KP, AK, or is it Hunter Mahan.

original question... root for whoever you want... I'm rooting for good golf. A small part of me hopes the Internationals win just to give the event some more fire in the future.

In the same boat, except I root for Phil as well. Weir vs Phil was really awkward, as I root for all left-handed players everywhere (especially right-handers playing left

I like Weir, he's a great guy with a good looking swing. A good representative for Canada I'd say.

Well regardless who you want to see win, I heard this is the last year it will be called "The Presidents Cup".
There is a push on to rename it "Obama's Cup" because he has done so much for the game of golf.

I don't have to cheer for the Americans because the golf commentators for NBC and the Golf Channel are cheering enough for everyone.

Is Obama nominally chairing it this year, or is it someone else? I figure the first one of his presidency, and it's in the United States, too. I don't remember hearing anything about who is chairing this year.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
