Ryder cup discussion

[boatsandhoes]

Do we continue to get that a** beat like a bunch of chumps, or do we actually compete this time?

give me your predictions.

I think it’s another *** whipping. The weakness with the US team is always the team matches with 4 ball and alternate shot and with the group of guys on here I just don’t see how that changes.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

It's been mentioned before on the web but I'd love to see Stricker do a Bryson - Brooks pairing. Let them be the leadoff team.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

That would be incredible. I would not want to play alternate shot with Bryson because he’s so erratic.

I am cautiously optimistic about it this year. If there is one thing that gives me hope about it not being the same old song and dance, it's Steve Stricker. All the guys on the team and tour really look up to Steve and have a ton of respect for him.

The facts about the Ryder Cup are, we just don't play well as a team and the Euro's do. They embrace TEAM golf. They enjoy TEAM golf. The have fun playing TEAM golf. There is no doubt that almost every year on paper we should throttle them. But our guys don't like playing team, they don't have fun doing it, all they give **** about is themselves. There too busy standing up at the presser podium and saying they don't agree or like their captains decision on the pairings and stupid **** like that. Just 17ing play team golf.

Another thing that hasn't helped is some just outright stupid 17 decisions by our past captains the have led to unnecessary team friction. The list is too long to get into.

The long and short of it is, if they can buy into what Strick is asking them to do, I think you will see a very different looking American team. I know for a fact three weeks ago he told Douchechambo and Brooks to cut the **** out. It's no secret why Strick didn't pick Patrick Reed. He's a 17ing team cancer. He raised a lot of eyebrows by not picking him and at the same time sent a message to the team that this year is different and he's not 17inhg around or putting up with any of that sideshow ********.

They were ahead 10-6 at Medinah, and got killed in the singles. I agree with what you said, most times we are behind going into singles.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Patrick Reed might be known as Captain America but he's really Iron Man.

 

[Arnold Babar.sixpack]

Call him what you want, but there isn't a guy on that team that wanted him on the team and Stricker knew it.

I love playing golf and watching all the majors but the Ryder Cup is something that doesn't perk my interest. Maybe it because of all the *** whippings we have received over the last 20 years or so.

 

[RocketDawg]

I think we win this time. I don't care for the guy, but Patrick Reed plays with vigor in the Ryder Cup and being obnoxious is acceptable in this tournament. He may be the one to carry the US to the win.

 

[III.sixpack]

We go this!

 

[klong-dog]

I think I heard we were a 2 to 1 fav. But I'm sure that's been the case many of times and we still choked it.

 

[Junction John]

Dude.

I can say with absolute certainty that Patrick Reed will not be the one to carry us to victory.
