Understand..BUT
I understand the theory that the surface around the hole has PGA regulations HOWEVER it was my observation there was an excessive number of "roll arounds" in the tournament which I don't recall ever seeing that many in a regular PGA Tournament? I also know the PGA has a number of Officials who inspect every aspect of the tournament before a tee off. Having said that I continue to believe there were more "roll arounds" at the hole than I have seen in the past.

The venue was beautiful, games were fun to watch but they should have skipped the team interview afterward. Was anyone else disappointed by the team behavior at the interview?
I was sad to think that team represented the USA with their behavior. I felt they behaved like a group of first year frat boys at a party, drunk, some trying to pretend they knew how to smoke, cocky responses at times and giggling like young school girls, leaving a poor impression of Americans. I’m a huge fan of the Ryder Cup competition but this peek at the participants real personalities has turned me off, big time! Suggestion for next Ryder Cup, hold the booze and cheap cigars for the party back in your rooms. We weren’t impressed. |

The players commented that they did NOT know there was a media event after the tournament that they were expected to attend.

Does that mean they had absolutely no control over themselves at that point? I felt Steve Stricker was uncomfortable with some of the behavior also.

I liked how Brooks shook Bryson's hand on the 18th while waiting for the others. Then at the press conference Justin Thomas said, I want to see Brooks and Bryson hug it out, and they did.
Here's the handshake Brooks Koepka & Bryson DeChambeau Hug it Out @ the Ryder Cup - YouTube Here's the hug One More Brooksy for the Books - YouTube Here's the press conference that I saw. I don't see any hooliganism, bad manners, terrible conduct, it's almost too tame. U.S. team wanted to send a message with Ryder Cup win | Live from the Ryder Cup | Golf Channel - YouTube |

I was disappointed that I didn't see the closing ceremony and couldn't find it anywhere. Have they done away with it?

I was turned off by the video where they showed several players complaining because their opponent didn't concede a short putt. Conceding a putt is entirely at the option of your opponent. I think it is bad sportsmanship to make a negative comment or gesture about a player who wants you to putt out.

I get that we don’t expect much from our athletes, but I don’t know if the opposing countries were thinking much of the boozing, smoking and giggling behavior. Stricker is a class act and knows to have fun and he wasn’t carrying on in that manor.
Just me but I miss the Nicklaus, Palmer, Hogan, Player era personalities. You can walk into any college bar and find the other behavior. I didn’t say they shouldn’t have fun, just not that type of fun on the world stage. Last edited by Aces4; 09-27-2021 at 05:00 PM. |
