Is that your way of saying "break a leg"?

I was able to go in '95 at Oak Hill. It is a nightmare to get around compared to other major events. We had the best luck with picking a hole (12th, 13th or 14th - you don't want a hole later than that because the matches could be over) and then watching all 4 groups come through. Then try to catch a few more groups on your way back to the clubhouse and hospitality tents (not all are VIP) to watch the rest on TV. It is still a great experience and it is worth the hassle.

There is nothing like a Ryder Cup roar after a big putt - so sudden and frighteningly loud - send chills through your whole body. Playing in that kind of atmosphere must be amazing.

And I agree about the "Get in the hole!" morons. Thankfully, the "You Da Mans" aren't as frequent any more but either of them deserve a smack to the back of the head.

Taking off work tomorrow to watch - can't wait. I know the Europeans are clear favorites but I still think the US will play with a little extra something - since all they have been asked is how can they win without Tiger Woods.

As for the event declining if the US isn't competitive? I think we are a ways off on that. So much corporate $ involved. And honestly, will you ever get tired of watching the US get beat?

I have always wanted to experience this. I imagine only one thing comes close (certainly in British sport) – and that is the almighty roar that goes up at the start of the Grand National. Spine-tingling.

Maybe im playing against him.

Same would love this feelin but i crack under pressure in golf.

Walking out onto to pitch at Anfield is probably the closest thing ive come to this although the crowd was probably around 300-500 that night not quite the same!

im sick of faldo gettin pelters off the press - ****in ******s
he has won more points himself in the RC than the yanks put together

i dont know him personally but a lot of these men dont either give the ****er a break

if we win it will be the team gettin the pats on the backs if we lose he will get humped for it

anyway i cant wait

par 5 off the tee and some yank shouting get in the hole

europe will win - the good news for them is i wont be betting on them

mate i am with u on this, but i know bobby fallon doesn't like him - i ****ing love faldo, he was great - when i first started he was the best in the world, he is easily the best european to have ever played the game and when it comes to the ryder cup - forget about it, he is the ryder cup! - I'd love him to win it as captain

he gets **** from the press, cause he pretty much told them all they're cunts and to leave him alone

i'm with faldo all the way - one year i went the open, birkdale or lytham - and managed to follow faldo for the whole round - it was ****ing brilliant!

suffice to say faldo is my all time favourite golfer!

[Shaggy]

I'm a bit older than you Mike but I know exactly what you mean. He's irritated me at times but he was a great player and I cheered him on to many Major wins - especially at Augusta. As a kid though my favourite player was, by a ****ing distance, the genius that was Severiano.

plus i also did enjoy endless hours of giggling when faldo was in his day .. i was ickle and i heard talk of faldo and his fanny
