Well played team Europe, and well done Bjorn who obviously knows his stuff better than most of us give him credit for. Great tournament 👍

I think the posts about it being an exhibition and players not caring is sour grapes.  The players care (especially the younger guys)  they just lost.  No excuses about it they just need to play bette

There is a classic management mistake known as "hoping for A while rewarding for B." As you note, we hope that our players will perform well on one type of course, while we select them based on their

There's plenty of time but man, watching the US team consistently do this kind of shit in Europe is exhausting.

US needs to get something going this morning. Not looking too sharp so far but we're only a few holes in.

They say he's fine, but maybe it's a bit of age showing, cold weather, stiffness, not playing too well.

It’s really not difficult to see why guys don’t exactly flourish when playing with him. His grumpiness must be exhausting.

Tiger! Let's hope that starts a gigantic US charge to, uh, split the morning matches.

Yeah, he's never struck me as a particular team player. He's played in most of these team events, but he's given off the impression of being an individualist that doesn't get into something as the RC as for instance Poulter or Reed. He enjoys his privacy and always has, which might give us more of those vibes. We don't know how he is in private with the rest of the team of course, but from the point of view of a TV spectator, I agree he doesn't look too inspired out there. Then you got Reed spraying it all over the course. Not looking like the sharpest US pair so far.

Tiger might lighten up for the singles, where he can do his own thing and just play golf. 

Well, he just made a putt there to get to just 1 down and pointed a finger at the crowds. Maybe that'll give him and Reed a boost.

EDIT--That might be a bit unfair, since Europe just continues to perform more than the US chokes. By a slight margin.

He’s got nowhere to go with Reed dropping yet again.

Seriously? Grumpiness? Huh?

I love how people see what they want to see.

And forget the last Presidents Cup And Ryder Cup.

When you’re winning, your team looks like it has chemistry. When you’re losing, it doesn’t. It’s that simple.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

And Patrick Reed has been in his pocket on all but one hole so far. THAT is not fun.

Tiger's singles record is incredible in team events and even moreso outside of them. If anything is holding his pairings record back in these events, I'm willing to bet it's 75% his partner's performance, and not his own. My God, Fatrick has been AWFUL today.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
