I meant Overton in my OP. Geeees.......... I am a dummy........only took 2 weeks to realise the snafu.

I think Overton will have a mental breakdown under the pressure.

I'm dusting off the old Union Jack and buying leeks for the weekend. If the Euro's lose, I'll eat the leeks.


Actually, we might be in for a surprise. The euro's are trying to avoid hubris, but it's in the air.

hmmm, I wonder what goes well with leeks?

Har har har-de-har! We all had a good larf - thanks for the entertainment! But have a look at THIS: It could get rather testing in Newport, just as the Ryder Cup is reaching its nail-biting climax. Winds in excess of 200mph are forecast for Sunday afternoon by MetCheck. See http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/...=Newport&day;=5 I hope theirs is a snafu as well! Im going to be there on Sunday and I don't want to watch my car blown across the Bristol Channel to Somerset (hotly pursued by Monty, no doubt)...

We all know europe will win, it's only a matter of how badly they'll thrash the yanks.

Mcllroy and Mcdowell will be together in the fourballs and they'll win their game.

Maybe paddy will find a bit of form....

I hope Tiger wipes his ass with Rory's face based on what I have been hearing. I am sure its golf talk all in good fun..or the media making a mountain out of a mole hill, but can't stand people who are cocky in the media.

How many of you think the captains will stick Tiger and Rory against each other in singles. Everyone is kind of begging for it..they should :)

I still wanna see the battle of the bad hair (Rory vs. Ricky). I think that would be a hell of a shootout.

But you want Tiger to win........?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

A few months ago I would have said Europe practically had it in the bag. But they've had a few setbacks since then and it's nowhere near as clearcut now. Harrington's form is a worry, as is Lee Westwood's injury. Ian Poulter has done literally nothing since he won the matchplay, he's been fighting to make the cut in most tournaments since then. Similar story with Graeme McDowell. Peter Hanson is a bit of an unknown quantity, who knows how he'll react to his first Ryder Cup experience.

I agree with this. Other than Kaymer and maybe Eduardo Molinari, who are the strong players on this team? Ross Fisher, Peter Hanson, Francisco Molinari? All are inexperienced and average European Tour Players.

As far as motivation, both Pavin and Montgomery are very passionate guys. I think both will make excellent captains.

But have a look at THIS:

Winds forecast has now been revised down, from gusts peaking at 285mph to 12 mph.

I don't know if I'm relieved or disappointed.

Likely to be by more if the wind really blows...

That doesn't look like much fun.

      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?
