JimW Posted October 1, 2025 Report Share Posted October 1, 2025 1 hour ago, iphish said: Explain what you mean here... seriously Just a thought from an high handicapper- Other than professional golf the games rules even out recreational golfers various abilities through handicapping. I can’t think of another sport that does that. It implies, at least in my mind, that the sport has greater emphasis on fairness than other sports. So not penalizing an injury seems appropriate.

Just goes to show that Philly gets a bad rap and the NY fans of all stripes are the worst of the bunch. Nah, NY fans may be the rudest and boldest bunch, but Philly fans are low class, obnoxious and angry. Its the angry part thats disturbing. NY fans just enjoy being mouthy, Philly fans like to throw beer bottles at kids and women for wearing an opponents jersey. Thats called low class but most Philly fans can't even recognize how foolish they look to the rest of the country. Granted, the crowd at Bethpage won't be on anyones favorite list, just a bunch of yah-oos trying to show how great it is to be them. Bunch of losers. Then again, Bradley kind of incited the crowd using the previous Ryder Cup match held in Rome where the Americans were treated like dirt. Can blame the Italians, its their country and they are a bunch of hot heads to begin with, in 2 years it will be in Ireland, hopefully, we hear a few Irish chant/cheers between pints and that will be enough. Congrats to Europe on their earned victory, I didn't think going in they had a chance, they proved they were worthy. I think as a group they are mentally tougher and are more familiar with match play, its preferred play as they learn their trade growing up. Scheffler may be the best golfer in the world but he is as good a partner as JLo.

The hosting Captain of the RC, Keagan Bradley makes those decisions well in advance. The course was unrecognizable from when I played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only applies in the singles. Doesn’t seem ever abused. Not sure if it’s appropriate or not but it’s been agreed for decades so I’m ok with it.

I think a good compromise would be Tim's idea of a half point to the abled body player. Not that they care what we think. lol TimS 1 You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around.

JimW Posted October 2, 2025 Report Share Posted October 2, 2025 Would’ve been English’s only win or tie lol. No idea what they do if 2 players were injured, is that a forfeit?

MikeMc Posted October 7, 2025 Report Share Posted October 7, 2025 A course I played with some friends for the Nine & Dine, a 9 hole scramble and a buffet dinner after the round, blew up last night. Course was recently sold. You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around.
