Is there anything I can do to care about the Ryder Cup? Any footage I can watch? I have no idea why I don't care about it. It seems like something I should like. I like watching the Olympics. I even like watching the Collegiate Golf Championship stuff. I have just never been able to get into the Ryder Cup.

Start with the 99 Ryder Cup. Bonus that it includes god awful outfits that have now come legendary amongst RC fans.

Tiger has a long drive contest with a you tuber
 

Tiger with the backward chip out and a double bogey on 5. Playing the par 5 6th now which is actually playing over par.

Troon showing its teeth.

Tiger started out pretty solid. -1 through 3. But he dropped 5 over the next 4 holes.

Schauffele putting pretty solid today.

These announcers are kind of crazy. Been weirdly going at Tiger and how it's probably time for him to retire, he can't do it anymore, the game has moved beyond what he can do and then they throw this in there...

This is a WILD thing to say on a broadcast...holy shit lol...

Wtf can hear it? What they say?

Guessing Tiger slept with the wives, girlfriends, & mothers of all of the announcers. :)

Think the lady would have an orgasm on air if Tiger went "I'm done with the tourney & golf."

This. I couldn't make out what they were saying.

"You look at the eyes you gotta think some sort of pain killers being taken to cope with the pain. It's not easy" is what I'm hearing

Lol @ mcilroy

That Limey hates the dude. Wow....

It's nice they are playing a British Open at a golf course this year that is actually green.

Someone yelled “hawk tua” after Max Homa teed off on 18. LMAO

Also, Rory sucks balls.

Homa hits a 30 foot putt on 18 to make the cut at +6.

One of the highest cut lines I have seen at +6.

John Daly and Ernie Els withdrew and went to the pib.

Tiger and Rory and Phil and JT and Bryson all sucked balls.

Course played tough as ****.

Yeah it's kind of weird. Rory is from Northern Ireland where I have to assume has tons of links golf but his game is basically suited for anything else.

Shane Lowry struggling at the postage stamp.

I like the guy though because he uses cavity back irons. Yet my friend Quint, a 8.5 handicap thinks he needs blades lol

A guy ranked like 300 in the world has the lead alone with 24 holes to go

Sounds like the British Open

That looks about as fun as getting a cavity filled.

Insane shot on #17 by Scottie. Thats almost like an eagle if he makes it. And its a par 3

Did Brown double hit that ball out of the bunker? Kind of looked like it on replay.

Kinda rooting for Rosey to be honest.

Xander finally got rid of his choke gene.

Xander is the player of the year, not Scheffler.

Great round by Xander. Class act all the way.

Scottie and Xander absolute 1 and 2.

No, not even close.

Scheffler is there EVERY week. Xander has had a few stinkers.

You don't have that big a lead in the Fed Ex Cup by accident.

Don't care about Scheffler beating weak fields without all of the top players, majors are where it counts and Xander was far better in them.

Xander isn't better than Scottie but he's had a better year.

Xander is such a good player but goddamn he’s such a robot…I just can’t shake it and it stupidly annoys me lol….

****ing A man, show us some personality….

You have no idea how a Player of the Year is determined.

So 2 - 1 Majors is all you judge? That's nonsense.

Xander is hotter now than Scottie but you are dismissive of how dominant he was the whole year.

You would think in the social media era we would get more guys with personality but it has been the opposite.

I think that helps them stay so focused.

These top guys are all robots. Tiger was no different in his prime. Once he went off the rails with the whores, his life and golf game went to shit.

It actually causes the opposite.

POTY stuff.

If Scheffler didn't have the year he did, I would agree.

Absolute insanity on the last round of the PGA event today. They were fighting darkness to try and get the final round in. The final group had Max Greyserman who completely blew a big lead on the back 9 for a wild finish, and Matt Kuchar who was out of it.

They get to 18 in the pitch dark, and Kuchar doesn't wait and blasts his tee shot into the group ahead that's standing in the fairway. Dangerous move. Presumably to ensure they got to finish tonight, but then for Kuchar's second shot he goes to the official and says he's done for the day. The rest of the group gets to go ahead and finish their round. So now everyone else is done and Kuchar is going to come back in the morning to finish 18 by himself while being 7 shots down. Never seen that before. Grounds crew has to really love this. LMAO

Kuchar is a classless clown.

His sketchers were getting tight

Kuchar continues to be a total d-bag. Not surprised at all by these latest antics and his explanation doesn't even make sense.

On another note....just got back from a 3 day trip to French Lick for our annual KC vs STL I-70 Cup that my college buddies and I do every summer. Totally in the middle of nowhere and not much going on outside of the resort, but the golf is the tits. Pristine grounds and worth making the trip if any of you have never played. The Dye course gets all the love but I liked the Ross course just as much.

Sure.....:rolleyes:

I bet he really cares what you think as he counts his millions.

He's certainly thankful you're defending him.

There was something more that was going on that pissed Kuchar off.

The quick tee off on 18 into the group in front of him made me feel like they were pissed they kept waiting so long and wanted Aaron Rai put on the clock. He can be very slow like a lot of Europeans and then Kuchar is stuck playing in the dark.

I think he wanted to stick it to them.

I would like to hear the whole story.

He said after the round apparently that he didn't think the tournament should have had them playing that late. He did it out of a protest. What he thought he would accomplish by doing so other than looking like an asshole, though, I'm not sure.

Oh, I think it's pretty clear he doesn't care what anybody thinks. That's why he's back out there this morning dragging volunteers/supervisors back so he can play a few shots after his entire group finished.

This guy is the most useless mother****er on Tour. I hate his fake "aww shucks" attitude, his bitchmade grind-it out-for-a-top-25 risk-averse playstyle, his 75-year-old man swing plane, and his caddy-stiffing, cheapskate bitch ass. This **** needs to **** off to LIV with Zach Johnson so I never have to hear about either one of them again.

What did he do? I don't even know

EDIT: I don't see what he did wrong. He teed off on 18 and it was so dark he couldn't even see the people on the fairway. Then an official gave all three in his group the option to play tomorrow (Monday) or continue. He choose to just finish on Monday. Especially being he was not in contention I really don't see what the big deal is. He was probably having trouble seeing and thought that gave him the best chance to make a good score on 18.

From what he said yesterday, he didn't give a real **** about that at all (he also rushed his drive on 18, hitting into the group in front of him, before deciding to stop). He wanted to stick it to the tournament for having them out there over the last few holes.

He made a par on that hole. If he bogeyed it, he would have made $60,000 LESS. Double bogey or worse about $80,000.

He hit into Rai cause he couldn't see them.

It was an odd tap out for sure but I wouldn't want to piss away $80,000 hacking around in the dark.

The guy has made $60M in on-course earnings in his career alone. I know he's a cheap ****, but that wasn't about the money at all. He said as much yesterday.

If LIV came up with as stupid a format to end a golf season as the PGA Tour did, it would be ridiculed to no end.

Hard to disagree on this weird format.

I'm curious of the winner who overcame the greatest starting deficit.

Sheffler is a better overall ball striker than Tiger Woods. Change my mind.

Tiger WAS a much better putter and probably a better mid iron player though. Tiger never hit his driver as accurate as Scottie. Of course he was a complete idiot and refused to move to a graphite shaft from steel shaft and upgrade his ball. Still the better player but Ive never seen someone hit the ball better than Scottie.

Sure would have been nice to watch an actual golf tournament instead of whatever that was.

Scotty’s shank out of the bunker was as bad a shot as you’ll ever see a pro hit.

That looked like something I’d do on the back 9 after drinking all day.

Of course he followed it up with a 4 iron to 5 feet.

The only other bad shank I can remember like that was Jack Nicklaus hit a 50 ft worm burner off the tee with a driver back in the 80s.

I've seen some crazy duck hooks and wild wayward shots but a true shank like an amatuer is rare.

Scotty hit a true shank. He was rattled by being put on the clock again and was rushing like crazy.

Morikawa sucks as a playing partner due to his super slow play but he is a hell of a nice guy. Gracious as could be after he lost.

I think the Nicklaus shot you're referring to was the 1989 PGA at Kemper Lake. Tom Kite was playing with him that day and said Jack bagged the driver for the entire round after that, even though the course was extremely long at the time.

I’m pissed off at the PGA playoffs because Rahm and De Chambeu are not in the field. If Mclroy goes to the LIV golf I’ll probably just watch the 4 majors. They talked about combining the 2 leagues but so far it hasn’t happened.

I just 3-putted four consecutive holes.

This is EXACTLY why amateurs are amateurs. Giving up 10-15 shots on or around the greens: chipping, sand traps, putting.

When I got down to a 7.2 handicap between 1996 and 2004, it began with practicing in sand traps a lot, chipping from all over and practicing putting, especially inside 5-6 feet.

Amazing how you can quickly drive down your handicap.

Oh I don't practice short game. I see bros out on the practice green with string, tees in the ground. Looking like some geometry lesson. Buncha dorks.

I've practicing putting before and it made no difference. It isnt my putting stroke that is the problem. Its inside of my dome. The choke will never go away.

You might be right. I'll try to find it. Great memory if you nailed it. :thumb:

Flying to Minneapolis today with my 11 year old for drive chip and putt regionals at Hazeltine. 1 win away from Augusta.

Thought we’d be able to play football this morning but weather delay means we had to miss sadly. He’s the qb and I’m the head coach so not excited about that but it is what it is

Take dead aim, aim small and good luck to the young man.

I don't know if this is the place, but my golf cart batteries are on their final season.

I'm going to change to a lithium pack, I am open to what you'd suggest or stay away from.

Golf carts with batteries

Watch your cornhole bud

My best friend in NJ lives in a retirement community and bought a used electric golf thinking he got a deal.

He has spent a fortune on all new batteries, a battery distributor or some regulator piece, a defective 4 month old battery he tossed the receipt away, a new ECU that prevented going over 5 mph.

He is into an old golf cart for like $8-9K and another one of his "deals" that has been a money pit.

He has two boats he got "deals" on years ago and neither is in the water yet. Nothing but problems. I just shake my head.

Internationals just straight up embarrassing USA today in the sweep. Was Scheffler out partying last night in Montreal?

Americans putting the pedal to the metal in the single matches so far.

Lot's of red on the board. It's a long day though so it could tighten up before it's over.

I wish this competition would be close and competitive, but the American talent differential is just too much.

Homa!

International starting to gain some advantage but in a nearly impossible position.

In case anyone wanted to know size of Arnold's dick, a leading presidential candidate has you covered.
