ermmmmm....

Westwood scares me as does Donald but Harrington has been off of his game all season and what have Poulter and Jimenez done this year? McIlroy is a threat but the US team is not chopped liver.

Jiminez won a tournament recently in a 3 way playoff, I think he won another this year too.

Harrington shot a 64 on sunday last week and was the first to card an eagle at Celtic manor yesterday, he's starting to find form.

Sometimes I wonder if certain people here watch/read about any Golf at all.

Miguel Angel Jimenez has won 3 times this year on the European Tour, in decent fields. 3 wins in a season is exceptional for any Golfer, regardless of which tour it's on, and especially for a 46 year old. He has vast experience and this will be his 4th Ryder cup appearance. If I was Corey Pavin, I'd be more worried about him grinding points away from my team than a lot of the guys on the European team.

I like players on both teams. I'm not a fan of Pavin or Montgomerie and I don't judge a man by the actions of his wife, so it's a toss up really.

Yeah, same with me. DJ and Bubba Watson are two of my favourite golfers, but so is McDowell. If I have to pick an overall team to cheer for, it's going to be Europe... I think.

Bah, I don't know. I guess I'll just have to see if I get all sentimental when DJ and Bubba are playing.

Just watched some of the 1999 Ryder Cup. Some of you Americans really were terrible people that weekend. All the abuse you threw at Monty like 'duff it you fat ****'. Really was disgusting to watch. The whole team then ran on Olazabal's line when celebrating Justin Leonards putt on the 17th. I hope Monty and Jose never forgive them for that, as that was in no way the spirit of the ryder cup. RIP Payne Stewart.

There is plenty of "over the top" from both sides on occasion. Belfry ring a bell?

I've got $50 on Europe. I just can't see the US doing it. The European guys are just too solid.

I will have to say that BallStricker brings up an interesting scenario. I could be totally wrong.
Europe should win, but they won't......my prediction is that is somehow comes down to the singles match between golden boy Rory McIlroy and the darth vader of golf, Tiger Woods.....and McIlroy gets his ASS handed to him...on the 15th green (where the match finishes), Tiger says...."Until you win a major, you are simply a minor-leaguer to me...fancy that"

When I look at the matchups I see strong USA teams. I dont see why everyone thinks they are the underdogs. The only disadvantage I see for the US is they are playing in england.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
