Our commissioner, and my good friend, Fritz made a good point yesterday. Why would you choose to have an event like this in Wales. It rains 364 days a year there. They built the course, ironically named "The 2010 Course," just for the 2010 Ryder Cup. Did anyone really think all 3 days would be sunny skies and 75 degree temperatures? Maybe they just crossed their fingers? But regardless of where you are playing you should at least come prepared.
I watched some of the event on Friday while I was waiting to play in a tournament at Kings Creek. They had half an inch of rain and the course was soaked, I was soaked, and it sucked. I couldn't imagine having to endure what these guys were playing in.
Now let us get to the best part of the whole cluster fuck on Friday. The US team apparently got screwed by Sun Mountain. SM is the company that made the rain suits for the team. I've gotten past the fact that we looked like the US Olympic Track team instead of a golf team.
I guess the department that makes the WATERPROOF rain suits were on strike the day the US team ordered there shit? That's OK... Sun Mountain replaced them with workers from the Sham-WOW department to make the rain suits.
Poor Captain Pavin had to whip out the American Express Platinum card and buy tan and red rain suits from the souveneir stand. How embarrassing. And lets not forget that the bags (made by Belding) are leaking and all the players things are getting soaked in the bag (ie... dry towels, dry gloves).
Then there is are the lovely uniforms the US Team chose for this years event. If you get a chance go to Golfdigest.com and look at the pic of Bubba Watson standing behind Ian Poulter. If this pic doesn't say GAY, then I don't know what does. Just look at it... I won't even take the time to describe it cuz a pic is worth a 1000 words. (Ian Poulter doesn't help the cause either).
Why can't we just have nice, traditional golfing attire that represents our country. Are our countries' colors not red, white, and blue? One would think it was pastel pink, purple, and blue if you watched this years event. Every Ryder Cup tournament we have some fucked up color choices with some fucked up pattern. Like crossed golf clubs or golf balls all over the shirt. The shirts my grandma used to by me from Peebles for Christmas (and still does). Only the likes of Bob and Jack Wadkins could pull this trendy look off.
The worst part is that I tried to catch up, with what was going on, when I got home today but that didn't work out. I'm so fucking confused right now. I don't know where we stand cuz there are like 3 different games going on. 1st round matches still going on, 2nd round matches still going on, 3rd round matches started.... What the hell???
This used to be one of my most favorite events to watch. This year's event has been a total disaster not to mention the fact that it comes on tv at 2 am.
Well I hope the US Team can squeegee out a win and I will root for them in my dreams tonight. Good luck boys and I hope you got your rain suits right cuz they are calling for heavy rains on day 3.
PS... I took the liberty to attach (see below) The PIC of Bubba, and Ian fist pumping, so you can see what I mean. FAG!!!
