4-0 up after one set of matches. Hot damn. What a start.

On an unrelated note, I call my doctor if it's been 4 hours, right?

I'm not really sure what your big hangup with this is.  The Ryder Cup is a team event (and an exhibition with no money on the line mind you).  Do you not cheer when your favorite football/soccer team'

On another note, when is the PGA going to wake up to picking US venues that may favor the American squad a little more from a weather standpoint? Basically the entire team lives in South Florida and v

Kudos for spelling.  You know, though, that there are a ton of people confused by your post and going "huh?  Europe is usually the winner of the two teams."

Reed is the USA version of Ian Poulter, the guy just seems to love the pressure of team competition.

Haha, that's an ominous reference. 

LoL. It was more intended to reference Tug McGraw's 'Ya Gotta Believe' mantra.

@DaveP043 do they have a 'clock' in Ryder Cup?

I'm watching/listening at work through the Golf Channel website, I assume its the NBC/Golf Channel feed.  I heard a discussion during the morning rounds that the lead group was "on the clock" at some point early in the back nine.  I'm really only half listening, so I can't tell you the details, but there's at least some monitoring of the pace of play.

I like No-Hat Rory. Kinda reminds me of Headbandless Lebron James. Hopefully the former is not as lights out as the latter.

Ah. Thought it might have been that too.

If you're out of position, your group is timed. In foursomes, if a side gets three bad times, they lose the hole. They have 60 seconds though. Justin Rose got a bad time earlier today.

Out of position in the lead group is relative to time par?

Can't believe I'm hearing cheers this loud for a ball going in the water, in a Golf match.

If this doesn't fire the players up nothing will.

It is quite embarrassing to hear. There's no call for it and anyone doing it really shouldn't be allowed to stay. Of course, I'm sure they won't kick them out.

Some of these fans are lame. Why all the yelling after a shot -  "bathwater" and other nonsense? Serving too much booze I guess. I like the high energy though, that's fun.

U.S. pairs need to fight for some halves here.

Anyone finding the 'featured' internet feed coverage pretty poor? Granted it's free, but it's constant commercials that run right through important play, fluff pieces during play, video highlights of 20 seconds each preceded by a 30 second commercial and all they show are putts, not the shots that set them up.

I think the contrast between Rose/Stenson and Reed/Spieth is an interesting example of relative importance of different parts of the game in the different formats.

Kaymer is a wasted wild card so far. 'Not good' is an understatement regarding his level today.

Even with a weaker than expected 4-ball session (barring an unexpected half from Holmes/Moore), the U.S. is in same points position at the end of the first day that Europe was in 2014: 5-3.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
