Ryer Cup Recap

Fortunately and unfortunately I attended the Sunday Ryder Cup.  I've never seen an atmosphere anything like it in golf in my life. It was unbelievably exciting to be there with all the cheers and wild fans. We saw 6 birdies in the first 1/2 hour right on the first hole, but the crowds were sooo large it was a challenge finding a good place to watch the action without missing all the action after that.  What a golf course- it reminded my of Congressional CC in scope and stature. We saw some good and bad shots including Webb Simpson's shank on #8 following by his amazing out onto the green through the trees and cables.We stayed until the end , which of course was heartbreaking... and witnessed the collapse of USA (from my tippy toes half way down the eighteenth fairway).  You could just feel the pressure in the air and poor Furyk and Stricker... I would not have wanted to be them coming down 18 that day, that is for sure! I can't help wondering if it would have been any different if the lineup on Sunday was reversed?... Just a thought.

So, I can check that day off my bucket list and I'll be watching the next Ryder Cup(s) on TV!
