Spieth deserved the captains pick so it's good to see him on the team. The US team looks pretty strong compared to the Internationals, but I hope we get to see some good matches between both teams. The international team hasn't really fared well.

Best Regards,
Ryan

Sadly true. :pound:

The most notable thing about the internationals is the relative absence of Asian players. When you compare to the women (where a rest-of-the-world team would smoke both the US and Europe), the Asian men just haven't shown up recently.

Must have been hard for Nick Price to leave Tim Clark out. They are good mates and Tim has been a good soldier in the Presidents Cup. But it was probably the right thing to do.

Agree, Spieth was a great pick.  No Jim Furyk, his team competition streak ends at 15, dating back to '97 Ryder Cup

Also came across this, equipment breakdown.  TaylorMade needs to spend more money, $100 million budget isn't cutting it :-P

Any word on whether Louis Oosthuizen will be ready to go- doesn't look like he has played in competition since withdrawing from The Open?

I hope Couples does some different groupings. I am sick of Tiger always being with a veteran. Give him someone younger and get him energized to want to be there and playing. I think Bradley really helped Phil game in the Ryder Cup. Plus I would like to see Dufner and Bradley together, they seem to be close freinds and wonder if Bradley could get some emotion out of Dufner.

That would be awesome but I know Keegan loves to be partnered with Phil.

Agree with the kudos on the Spieth pick. Question on Furyk's streak: has he historically performed well in team competitions? I only recently began following team competitions and my primary memories of Furyk are his chokes in the partner matches (with Tiger) and the recent singles match (at Medinah). Does anyone have info on his overall match record?

Did you Google "Furyk Ryder Cup record"? :whistle:

9-17-4

I should have asked someone else to do that for me. It almost killed me to do it.

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

Lol, point taken. Although the data seems to confirm my hunch, that Furyk has been a substandard Ryder Cup performer.

That said, he appears to have been light's out at the President's Cup (20 wins/10 losses/not sure how may pushes). Not sure what to attribute the discrepancy to.

      "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.
