At least USA saved some face but what do you know? All of the little things the European camp does in the build up to the Ryder Cup that my side just refuses to do wound up deciding it in the end this time.

 

Any way you win a Ryder Cup outright on the other side of the ocean is a good way to win it. I’ll curse at Keegan Bradley but I’ll begrudgingly tip my cap to Europe for a job well done.

 

It’s better to play foursomes and fourball when you have team spirit.

 

It’s better to have a captain that carefully selects players with complimentary skills in foursomes and players that can play for birdie in different styles in fourball.

 

It’s worth the time and effort to build a siege mentality in your team before going away so they show up on Friday ready to use the atmosphere as fuel if it gets combustible instead of being distracted by it.

 

And I will be damn sure in 2027 and 2031 that Europe doesn’t neuter any advantages its home course can provide.

 

Yeah there was a lot of talk about Sunday being the USA’s best chance to put a lot of red on the scoreboard but shouldn’t that mean a captain be as meticulous as possible to squeeze an extra half or whole point out of the 16 available on Friday and Saturday? Picking the worst foursome pairing possible by both the analytics and they eye test and then *running them back out there on Saturday morning* is just something that I will never understand.

 

Well, now that this is over I am looking forward to getting back into the sport and on the course next spring so I can start moaning about my own poor play instead of Collin Morikawa’s.

Quite a few of our Europeans playing in Alfred Dunhill Championship that starts today on Sky if anyone wants to watch. Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrell Hatton, Robert MacIntyre and Matt Fitzpatrick all playing. Sure it'll be more interesting than watching us currently.

Gonna look at getting back into playing golf myself again, I'll spending most my time down the range to start with before attempting to step foot back on a course as I play golf one handed. Really looking forward to starting again though.

Getting post-Ryder Cup blues. My god that was good. 

I went and chipped some balls in my backyard. Had my neighbour hurl some insults at me while doing so.

I played Shirland today (in Alfreton) and walked off after 8 holes. Absolute shit tip conditions with plenty of fairways thick like rough, slow greens, barely any sand in bunkers and a stupid layout with fairways constantly on slopes.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice really. As you know from my previous post I'm looking at starting golf back up again. Didn't know if anyone could give me any club recommendations? I'm not expecting to play with the best clubs straight away. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

What sort of money are you looking to spend and what kind of level did/do you play at?

I play one handed mate so I'm not at the greatest level at all and not played in years so it'll be basically like a beginner again and mainly at the range to start with to build my confidence back up. I'll be completely honest I've not even thought of a budget and being honest I don't know what clubs cost these days so wouldn't want to make myself look silly with a budget.

The best advice I can give you,  is go and spend an hour with a pro,  any one of worth their salt should be able to point you in the right direction after seeing how you swing the club.  Much better than getting random advice off the internet,  the best £40/£50 you will ever spend on this damn frustrating game.

Absolutely the above. Your swing will be so unique that a short fitting session will point you towards the right sort of clubs that will help you the best. 

 

My guess would be lightweight graphite shafts, and something very forgiving. Length, lie-angle, and grip size would need to be fitted by actual measurements and feel. 

 

See if any of your local golf clubs do fittings and go from there.

I was not necessarily talking about a full fitting at this stage as I am not sure about the guys budget,  but if he has the budget and is fully committitted to golf then yes go for that.  I was suggesting seeing a pro and having a lesson the pro should be able to point in the right direction of the right type of clubs for him to look for on the second hand market.

Thank you mate, you're definitely right on the graphite shafts front as the lighter shaft helps with me only playing one handed.

Absolute scenes when you’ve played a year and are a lower handicap than me, playing 2 times a week the last 5 years 

 

Fcking hate the game 🤣
