What? Do you mean na na na na hey hey good bye?

No, the na na na blah blah hey good bye is a different chant, but equally as lame.

Nope, I've never been to a Habs game.

I love Bubba, but he is just too inconsistent/wild to be in the Ryder Cup.

I think he'll be fine in Medinah in 2012 when the course is set up favorably for long hitters..

Im not a fan of his swing atall. Very unconventional. But it works

His swing is goofy, but it's consistent. Whatever works, etc.

wow so close for america. We did better in the singles. If the cink/kuchar match wasnt halved on the last hole yesterday we would of won even with europe dominating most matches that day. All we needed was one of them

Hmm - why dont we just leave it setup neutral as a GOLF COURSE - not favouring long nor short hitters? And you might think about it a couple years down the stretch, if the americans think they need the advantage of tweaking their course to their liking, the Euros will just do the same next time you come over.

eh...can't say that because if we would have gained at least that point...the tone of today's match, or "fire" under their belly's would have been modified, etc... It's that whole butterfly effect. Things happened the way they did and ended the way they did today. A minor change yesterday could very well have affected today's entire outlook...maybe even a giant asswhooping from the European team.

Because every Ryder cup I have seen has been set up against the visiting team. If you leave it neutral, chances are the Euro course will favor their team the next time. Home course advantage has been around sports for centuries.

With 1 point separating in the end, you can question how much home course advantage matters. A lot of the European players plays mostly in USA anyways.

There are so many details that could make USA the winner this week, it's a toss up really.

How about not having such slow greens? Yes it rained, but Europe always has slow greens. And they should since it benefits them. No reason the home team shouldn't set it up to favor their guys. Part of home course advantage.

yea thats true but we still would of lost every match that day except that one hypothetically. The fire would of been there for sure because of all those losses.

Being an Aussie, I am basically neutral - just hoping for some good golf, but if you look at footage from previous Ryder Cups, the behaviour of some of the Americans is just so repulsive that you sort of want them to be beaten. I won't even start on the Barbie clone parade.

Slow greens - fast greens, rain, sunshine - to hell with it! That was a thrilling day today! Good watch, never boring. Great golf and unsettling errors at times. Loved it every minute. :D

I thought Medina was a short course? Isn't that why they don't host Opens anymore?

Ole Ole Ole believe it or not is mainly sung by the Irish crowd,it has been a thing we do at international soccer matches for years.

I thought that was a Spanish thing, no? I mean, pretty much everyone now sings it in soccer but I thought it stated in Spain.

No Ryder Cup mentioned on the public broadcasters main news show and just one line on their web site. Autsch, bad, bad. Ryder Cup 2018 in Germany. Hmm.

Think I gotta change my avatar back to super mario soon.

Great days of golf, lots of "ifs" but coming down to the last group on last day makes great watching. Think the best team won just but both sides had their bad players and good players.

As for Medinah, I would not class 7657 yards off the regular Gold tees as short but rather bloody long, 2 par fives over 600 yards help push the yardage up though

Correct - it originated in Spain

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
