I've googled and youtubed the press conference, but I've had zero luck. Anybody know where I could watch the full team USA monday press conference?

Yea, it was rough to see Hunter try to explain himself...just tough.

Hunter has gone up in my estimation - a lot. His fightback on Monday was amazing, with all that pressure, the crowds gathering, the victorious and defeated team-mates imploring him to do it - he didn't fail, he was, on that day, on that course and in front of those people, beaten. By the US Open Champion, no less, who has already demonstrated his iron constitution.

His reaction in the press conference was heart-wrenching - but it also showed me, at least, that the American players really do care about the Ryder Cup - the hype for other tournaments that may be available, it was made quite clear by Lehman, Furyk and Cink, is neither here nor there - the Ryder Cup is the global showcase and the one they want to win. If it didn't matter, Hunter wouldn't have been so upset. We have an eons-long tradition in Europe, going back to Cuchulain and the mists of legend, of respecting noble warriors, whether they're on our side or in opposition. He was great and he is welcome back - I hope he comes back soon. If he comes to play the Welsh Open at Celtic Manor, I for one shall be cheering a great fighter all the way round.

      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.
