40th Ryder Cup

I was on planes for much of Ryder Cup weekend, so maybe I missed it when this became known, and I didn't see it noted here; Phil flew to Scotland on his own instead of taking the team charter with all the other players and caddies.

That's a huge WTF in my book.

 

I think it's Azinger if he wants it.

If he says no, I could see Steve Stricker.....maybe Brad Faxon getting it.

 

Hell, I'd name Mickelson captain.

 

That would totally serve Phil right. Also, it'd be a hoot supreme.

 

Agreed. Ever try it with a really high handicapper? Oh, my Lord, the shots you get to try.

 

A week later and this is still generating stories. I've read a different Ryder Cup story everyday since this ended.
Seven days later and still going strong.

Majors don't get this much (post) attention. Yeah, I know its the end of the season and all that ... but geez. Give it a rest.

 

Still going strong with stories.

If the stories are true, and they prolly are, Watson fucked this up from Go. And Old Tom is getting zero sympathy from anyone.

Give it a few more days and we'll learn he was the shadowy figure in the driveway who clubbed Tiger Woods and ruined pro golf.

 

Kind of ... He's no Ben Hogan... But he's no Steve Stricker in terms of popularity.
Very rigid fellow.

 

He did write a letter to Augusta that got Gary McCord banned for saying the greens had been "bikini waxed."

So yes. He's a dick.

 

Bump...

More stories and more fallout...

Now PGA of A President Ted Bishop has been canned for social media remarks directed at Ian Poulter. Though he only had a month or so left on his contract.

That is a stunning development. You think next month's annual meeting in Indianapolis might be a little awkward?
