@NoLayingUp Announcer on the first tee giving it some real 'let's get the s**t show over with quickly' vibes.

Energy is surprisingly positive out here this AM, with the loudest and most cohesive US chanting all week.

@pattyb_09 @SHistorians I can understand the argument for getting money if that's the mindset of the players, if they feel they are missing out. If they feel they are generating a lot of value but not capturing it. And that's fine. Also I understand the argument that a player does not want paying.

@VaisalaNick @SHistorians It’s the principle nick. Why does everyone but the players get to make money? You didn’t answer the question. And spare me the joker than thou nonsense. The DPWT uses it to fund purses for their events, so they’re getting some one way or another. But again, no actual answer.

I am going to go on record: I AM DONE WITH THE RYDER CUP. It’s been an embarrassing event for a while now. Fan behavior is only getting worse and to make matters worse ITS ENCOURAGED. We need to stop rewarding this kind of behavior. It’s also become a money grab- made worse when the US Players fight to get paid and then get their can kicked. You can’t watch any of the event for 3 min without a 3 minute commercial break. It’s a horrible US product. Shame on everyone involved!
Society of Golf Historians@SHistorians

THE HARSHEST RYDER CUP TAKE I am truly happy for @RyderCupEurope. But let’s take a look at a couple of things: 1) @RyderCupUSA got paid to play horrid golf. If I ran one of those charities I would give the money back and say “spend this on putting lessons.” 2) the @PGA jumped the shark by not only charging the single highest ticket prices in history BUT they also got greedy and agreed to the broadcast being 70% commercials. 3) Is Keegan to blame- no more that every player on the US Squad. They all should be embarrassed. I think they should wear all white tomorrow because they already waived the white flag and don’t deserve to wear the Stars and Stripes. 4) The @PGA has allowed this event to become the Waste Management Ryder Cup. It’s turned into a national embarrassment on soooo many levels. Our fan behavior is out of hand. Get it under control or cancel the Ryder Cup! Complete embarrassment. The @PGATOUR should see this as as reason to unite with @livgolf_league because our Americans are terrible. The American team has been thinned out by the separation. Blunt take. Blow me up I don’t care.

@NoLayingUp @highnoonsunsips I’m a fan of the recaps but how much interrupting and rambling does a hammered drunk TC have to do before someone speaks up and tells him to shut up, and grab a water??? Pretty embarrassing from him tonight .

@NoLayingUp @highnoonsunsips That was a hot mess of a podcast. It was basically 90 minutes of Tron's random takes in no particular order. Interruptions all the time, no structure, very little mention of the actual golf. Please don't run this play again tonight.

@pattyb_09 @SHistorians Depends what you mean by deserves. And if someone values being on the team and representing Europe/USA more than a bit more money. Some players get angry that they are missing out on more money. Others are not that bothered.

@SHistorians Explain to me why everyone except the players deserve to make money from the event. No one can ever give an actual answer to me on this topic.

@peekay950 @SHistorians So you're asking some of the most competitive self centred, focused on themselves sports people (as they should be, being independent contractors) to volunteer their time and ignore decades of precedent and play a friendly match that essentially means nothing? Good luck 😉

@SHistorians Teams could help to dial it down too. Get rid of team rooms, psychologists and the win at all costs mentality. Instead, go and play a friendly but competitive match with guys who are your best friends 362 days a year, then share a nice lunch/dinner and a glass of wine with them.

@LukeKerrDineen Agreed. The chances of that fan’s hub caps still being on his motor when he gets back to the car park are next to zero.

Maybe the stupidest thing any American has done this week is getting Tommy Fleetwood's caddie anywhere near a heated confrontation. The guy is like 6'6", a Scouse and an absolute unit. And also, it must be said, a very lovely guy.

@jcbarrett2000 @NoLayingUp @highnoonsunsips Hard like. The irony of TC going on about how the Europeans are a team while just constantly interrupting and making it all about him and his takes, no matter what the subject of the conversion was. Tough look in the year of the product.

@VaisalaNick @KylePorterNS Yes, literally consider how this many putts can’t be missed by a sliver while euro slops make them. Ever consider why USa getting paid? Let Me spell for you, Rory demanded because PGA hung him over LIV.

I think I've been radicalized this weekend. I don't think this is primarily a putting problem, a setup problem, or even really a captain problem. It seems like it's a thousand little details, which means it's primarily an *organizational* problem. One side's whole is consistently greater than the sum of its parts, and the other's is consistently not. That goes way deeper than putting, setup or the captain, though all of those are certainly emblematic of the root issue.

@NoLayingUp @highnoonsunsips Tip for TC on the next pod. 1. Write down your 5 takes beforehand. And stick to 5. 2. Introduce them at the appropriate time in the conversation. 3. Let others talk. A pod where the conversation jumps randomly between 100s of takes is not good listening.

Where does Team USA go from here? Do they even have a plan? Live from the Killhouse presented by @highnoonsunsips.

@NoLayingUp @highnoonsunsips Genuine question. Will US players actively try to avoid getting on the next Ryder Cup team? As there does not seem to be an upside to being on it at the moment. As at this stage they are just hurting their reputation at one of the biggest sporting events.

@greendartguru @KylePorterNS Ever considered why just about every US player suddenly turns into a poor putter on exactly the same 3 days every two years? If that is the real reason then it sounds like extremely bad luck, as what are the chances of that happening?

@KylePorterNS This so so dumb. It’s 100% a putting problem. I’ve never seen every USA out miss by a sliver outside the hole so consistently by the USA team, almost like we’re paying USA to throw so Rory can get his justice for going against LiV and bring bent over like the lil lamb he is

@RoryBellows5 @KylePorterNS But why does that mean the US team significantly under performs? Are you saying the US can only play good golf in the US and their game does not travel?

@KylePorterNS Little discussed is the fact that most of the Euros live in the US. They work in the US. Many went to college in the US. Families live in the US. Straka playing golf in NY is quite different than Burns playing golf in Rome.

@jonahqb12 @KylePorterNS But there will always be a statistical reason why someone loses that will mask other more non tangible issues. Should the US not be asking why they all suddenly turn into relatively bad putters?

@KylePorterNS The data clearly says it is a putting problem. The Euros are putting better due to organizational reasons?

At this point I feel bad for Keegan. He's gonna go down in the history books, but he should have never been put in this position while still so active in his playing career. The captaincy is not a part time job and it's unfair to ask a current player to do it.

I don't want to sound like Ron Swanson, but a pastry has no place in a breakfast. If I want this Danish bullshit, I can fly SAS. The only decent breakfast cuisines are British, American, Turkish and Mexican. Plus of course the Royal Navy "Destroyer's Breakfast.* * A cup of tea and a cigarette. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…
