Yesterday I asked if anyone would like to be a guest columnist and "Craig the Shark" and answered the call. So here ya go ya buggers.
Euro's vs. USA Ryder Cup
Every two years a golf event happens that puts the best of the European golf players against the best the USA has to offer. They alternate playing it across the pond or in the US. Anyone that has played or watched golf knows its an individual sport. You may play in a team format, but in the end, you swing the club, you hit the ball.
But for some strange reason the Euro's somehow always come together and become one entity out for a few pints, a few moments of comraderie, and a common will to beat the Americans down.
This Friday September 19th thru Sunday the 21st, the battle begins. The US for some reason always comes across as a bit elitist, out to do their own thing and take home the money in a tourney. Give them the opportunity to play as a 'team' with no prize money at stake, just national pride and they fold.
If they lose, this will be a record fourth time over eight years that they do. Tiger is not in this one. On one hand missing the number one player in the world kills them, but since his record in ryder cup is pretty spotty, this gives the other US players a chance to prove they are all skilled and there is more than just one player.
....they're still going to lose I say.....still think the Euro's just get too big a kick out of sticking it to them....but I do think this one is tight...and a bit more competitive...Let us golf fans have something that goes nervously down to the wire...and I for one will be in my glory.

Sammi, we are all just watching ryder cup or playing actual golf .
The contest was very close and for once in years showed a determination and passion I have not seen in the americans. The captain paul azinger alluded to a 'plan' he enacted and that one day he may or may not chose to explain what that was.
No debating though that there was fire from unexpected like boo and JB. While criticized pics like poulter came thru.
I think this win is good in that it will make the US viewers more interested in something they have lost at for quite a few years. Congrats, well deserved win.
