Need to blood some youngsters and get draft picsk

I think Scott's time is up. Need to get more youth into the team.

He was pretty bad this weekend but he's got the type of swing where if he finds some form, the results should come, see what happens in 2021....

AmericanCrow

yep, you had it

still the international team has a bright future and will learn from this one

I also agree with Ernie—need to have your own governing body for the event

 

[AmericanCrow]

Much closer than I thought it was going to be.

Still expect a mauling in 2 years time on US soil.

you had the youngest team in events history I believe with 7 rookies

Just got back from the PC. Enjoyable weekend watching some of the worlds best get around.

Not sure if already mentioned but shoutout to Haotong Li for getting his physio to caddie for him (had never caddied before and speaks no English) and for seemingly not knowing what the go is in matchplay/team events, lol.

Great podcast on Alister Mackenzie's 10 week trip to Australia in the 1920's on commision to re-design RMGC and how it changed Australian Golf Course architecture for the rest of time around the country.

Fried Egg Stories, Episode 2: The Doctor Goes Down Under

The second installment of our new audio documentary series digs into the history behind the venue of this week's Presidents Cup, Royal Melbourne Golf Club. This Australian gem exists in its current form because, in 1926, the famous British architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie decided to sail across...

What a great week it was.

Anyone else attend?

My first golf attendance experience and I was very impressed.
Thursday was my highlight becuase it was so easy to follow who you wanted.

Crowds were massive on the weekend!

Lol, it’s not some popularity contest.

Like the USA and Europe teams, you get picked on points from the completed season.

Scott had statistically one of his best years on the tour.

He's #18 in the world and the #1 ranked international team player atm.

i.e the first one picked!

Even though the USA was missing Koepka, Day missing and unfit really hurt the International team, he has the star factor and game to match it with anyone on his day, including Tiger.

Would of given the Int. side a different aura imo.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Although they do get Captain’s picks

For most golf events, especially in Australia, thur and fri is the best time to attend to watch the golf. Would have loved to have been able to take the 2 days off work to follow tiger without the crowds.
Sat sun is all about atmosphere.

Dont worry Tiger had a big big crowd on Thursday.
But I followed him for about 6 holes and then watched some of the other foursomes.

Almost impossible to follow anyone on the weekend.

 

[peternorth]

yeah pick a spot, stay there. watch groups come through, then either leave or follow the throng

He can’t putt though

Do what we did.
Find our way half way up some scaffolding with a random volunteer who didnt give a crap and get one of the best views in the house at the 11th Green/12th Tee

Did foresee a Happy Gilmore style scaffold collapse onto the 11th green though.

If anyone did get injured there they wouldn't mind. But what would I know? I'm just a doctor.....

I was on the steps mate.
Would take a special kind of individual for there to be an issue.

The joke about Happy Gilmore was just that.

It was a long bow to slip in the quote at the end.
But any kind of happy gilmore quote gets love from me.

Woah, its pretty cold in here. did pat reed and cam smith just join the chat?

Reed dug his way out of this chat a long time ago.

Is it just me or did even the nice yanks turn to complete w***ers the last couple of days.

JT, Tiger are the two examples I can think of.
Seemed fine and likable at the beginning of the week and by the end they were both acting like petulant children.

nah it was all linked to the same joke. Sorry for not making it incredibly obvious that I didn't actually think anyone would get injured. I'll let the pedantic society know their chairman will be late to the meeting cos he's in here talking to me

Sorry mate I got the quote but thought you were semi-serious about the injury.

We had a number of people give us a lecture while there etc.
Although to be fair I think they were just jealous.
