Harrington, Donald and Molinari.

Sergio as 4th vice captain.


Bringing Harrington is a serious mistake in my view.Pretty awful record in the Ryder cup and that was when he was actually playing well.

yeah, i'd have left off harrington and chose justin rose. but paddy's an old dog with multiple majors. that'd be to a lesser extent like leaving tiger off for the likes of anthony kim.

Paddy V Tiger in the ryder cup singles.

Who'd win? They're both playing terrible at the moment!

Harrington and serious mistake don't go in the same sentence. Playing well? He's capable of pretty much anything on the golf course, as his major wins show, and he has a great temperant, which will help the team as a whole.

Yeah, last year it looked like he'd win the US PGA until he got a quadruple bogey on that par 3. I still don't understand how he managed to do it.

Yeah, which is exactly what I'd do, personally.Maybe not Kim, since he's just back from injury, but someone in decent form.I know there's a lot to be said for picking experience and star names, but at the end of the day, surely you should go for form over all else.Padraig and Tiger are about as far from form as you can get.

Watched him play lately? 'Serious mistake' off almost every tee

Followed by seriously good up and downs. Scrambling is very useful in the Ryder cup.

Right. Paddy got lucky that they needed another old dog. No way does he get the nod on form over either Rose or Casey.

Any word on what Monty's decision will be if Donald takes Hanson's guaranteed spot? Is Hanson a captain's pick, or will he elect some other player to take that remaining place?

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)

Yeah.. but you're not going to up and down every time.And even if you do, Pars aren't much good to you in matchplay if you're opponent is making birdies.

lol... i think monty's choice in picking paddy almost forces pavin's hand to match his pick with tiger. but i think pavin would have always picked tiger whether he wished to or not. in the end, i think a private conversation will be had between cory and tiger where he will be given the choice to play or not to play.

@ Chilli dipper: Is that even possible? Not saying it isn't, but nobody has mentioned that in the press conference etc.

It's plenty possible; in fact, Edoardo came within a point of surpassing McDowell on the world points list by winning at Gleneagles.

Here's how it breaks down: Luke Donald is 18.19 world ranking points behind Graeme McDowell for the fourth AQ position on that list. The winner of the Barclays will earn 70-74 world ranking points; Luke is currently tied for fifth. In comparison, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational a few weeks ago had 76 world ranking points on the line; Sean O'Hair earned 18.24 points for finishing alone in fifth place. McDowell did not play this week, so he will be earning no points against whatever Luke does. It'll be close, but it's entirely within the realm of possibility if Luke finishes around fourth place, depending on if he finishes tied with other players.

I am 99.9% certain that as things stand at the moment is the team. The world qualification for the Europeans is not the world rankings but based on world events used for qualification. These finished with the us pga. Hence what happens in the Barclays does not matter with regards to autoqualification. The only thing it influenced was montys picks and those are done.

Thoroughly annoyed that Padraig made the European Team. He has 3 majors, but he has really had a poor season. Justin Rose, or maybe Paul Casey deserved his place. GRRRRRRRRR.
What I Play:
Wilson Mini Stand Bag | PING G10, 10.5°, Proforce V2 HL S | PING G5, 15°, 18°, Aldila NV 75 S | PING G5, 19°, Aldila VS Proto By You 80 S
Mizuno MX200 4-PW S | Ping Tour W 50/12 X | Ping Tour W 58/TS X | A selection of putters, all 35.5 inches.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
