Ryder Cup

Stricker's shot on 18 from 164 out... now that was an embarrassment. Over 40 feet away?? Seriously, from that yardage, clean lie?? How do you airmail a shot like that??.

What a choke.

He took a lot of club. 7 iron from 164? With that adrenaline?

His real screw-up was on 17 though. How do you not get that up and down?

Wtf? Tiger is the top ranked American player in the world! He's the reason people watch golf. Tiger would still be a captain's pick for the next few years even if he's having a bad season.

And what is his record over the last Ryder Cups? Only reason he got pts on last Ryder Cup is because of Stricker in 2 man matches. He got a big fat goose egg this time around. He isn't the only reason for this debacle, but he greatly contributed to it.

I didn't notice what club he had... but if he had a 7 iron in his hand - his caddie has to step in and veto that selection. When I heard he was at 164 I was thinking 9 iron with a hook lie and helping wind. Hell, I might have even gone with a PW there myself with a helping wind; but would probably have gone with a 9 iron.

7 iron there is a terrible club selection.

We never should have rescued you guys in WWII.

Guess not! But thanks anyway! Actually, thanks a lot.

My grandpa, Thorkel, was with the Danish resistance in Jutland and unfortunately he got caught during a daring mission at Aalborg airpot (Aalborg a Danish city), he helped place bombs on German planes and it was a success. This was in late 1944 and he (grandpa Thorkel) went to Neugamme prison camp near Hamburg - and that was his luck 'cos he survived! Grandpa Thorkel died 25 years ago in a car accident at the age of 75. You could produce a fracking movie from his (Grandpa Thorkels) doings during WWII as there's much more to his story.

His daughter, my mother went to the states in 1966, I was born in Phoenix AZ in 1972 & we all went back to Denmark in 1975. My mother died this spring.
Rest in peace to them both.
So thank you; can't say that enough. You have a similar story then do tell.

PS - Saving our asses in WWII won't stop me from bitching about stuff going on in my second country - United States of America.
