"Sloppy" seconds

The Buck stole my thunder with his prior post, but I can't help but comment as well about this year's Ryder Cup.

I agree, this year's event has been a total disaster. For being one of the world's most anticipated golf events, it looks like they could have used a little help from the organizers from TOTW Golf Classic held back in May!   

I played with The Buck friday in a tourney at King's Creek. Sloppy, wet, damp, slow, ugh! And that's only 1/100 of the rain they've been dealing with in Wales.  I realize the European team entails quite a few countries, but please pick one other than frigging Wales! I'm sure it has pretty countryside with plush grass, but jeez if my yard was getting rain almost everyday of the year it would be plush too!    I find it comical that the NFL and media are bitching about awarding a Super Bowl to New Jersey and the new Giants Stadium because of being in a cold weather area and yet there can be a golf event scheduled in a geographical area that doesn't get above 60 degrees (That's balmy to them) and rains at some point every day!!!!  Either golfers are harder than we thought or the NFL players are a bunch of pussies.          

I'm sitting here Sunday am watching and so far they have had extended rain delays both friday and saturday and there's been off and on rain today.

I, too, like Buck am sitting here confused....I mean, I'm watching it right now and I have no clue where the event stands!  The delays have screwed up the whole scheduled format and the TV telecast doesn't give any updates and only shows the overall points total about every 2 hours.  Plus, Saturday I'm watching and you talk about confusing.....NBC was showing play from Friday, but the announcers were doing it live....they kep referring to "today", "yesterday", the new schedule, the real schedule,   ?????????????? ughhh! again.

Now, let's discuss the man they used to call the "little bulldog"....Capt. Corey Pavin....  I don't even know where I want to start.  I respect his Ryder Cup record (go find highlights from The Belfrey from the late '80s), but his job as a captain has sucked!   1st, the lying about whether he was going to pick Tiger for the team.....then lying about it and saying he hadn't made up his mind.....then picking him anyway......what a puss!          

Now let's discuss who wears the pants in his family..... See pic above of the gay pastel uniform....His wife was in charge of designing the uniforms, rainsuits, etc..........Please Corey, get control of your house before you end up wearing a skirt and high heels!   And if your wife expresses an interest in going back to school for fashion design, just take the tuition money out to the back yard and burn it. At least the heat from the fire will give you more than her wasting it!   I think after the event we'll find out she really is color blind!................Let me get this right,  the USA is red, white, and blue........please read the following article from a writer with the Golf Channell: 

It's got to be a first in American Ryder Cup history.


U.S. Captain Corey Pavin said cornflower will be among the team colors his men will wear in the matches Oct. 1-3 at Celtic Manor in Wales.

Lisa Pavin, Corey’s wife, gets the largest credit for arranging the uniform selections. The Saturday match-play ensemble includes a 4-ply cornflower-colored cashmere cardigan sweater with a colorful team patch. Cornflower looks similar to lavender.

“I think Lisa and I are really pleased with the way the uniforms turned out,” Pavin said Friday in a teleconference. “We had a vision of what we wanted, and Lisa made it happen and she was involved in it a lot. But there are a lot of cool things about the uniform. It's kind of an old-school look. It's kind of a retro-look, but with a modern twist to it. There are some cool things. There's a felt patch on the chest that's unique and different, and I'm really pleased with the way the uniforms turned out.”

Golf Digest style guru Marty Hackel raved about the uniform selections developed with Peter Millar and Hickey Freeman.

“What's clear from the presentation is that Lisa Pavin spent a great deal of time over the last two years interacting with the various design companies to create a historically respectful, classic but modern collection using current materials," Hackel wrote on GolfDigest.com. "As opposed to the simple red, white and blue motif of past teams, the Pavins made an effort to infuse a fresh palette . . .

“A lot of thought went into selecting the appropriate typeface that'll be used on rain wear and team bags. Think New York Yankees, circa 1936."

The color of the letters is "Fuschia" for those who are wanting to find a golf shirt of the same color........Will somebody check and see if Corey has a "set"?  Maybe we should respell his name "Corrie" and get his wife a new strap-on.  What's even more funny is that the article mentions that Lisa Pavin spent 2 years coming up with this shit!!!   My God, give me a couple of hours to drive to Martins in Myrtle Beach and a credit card and I could have the team outfitted in a day!!!!!!!!!!!!   And, I guarantee I wouldn't get rainsuits that look like we're getting ready to run the 40 yard dash!     Speaking of the rainsuits, yes what Buck said is true......they're rainproof wasn't rainproof.  How do you not know that before going to Wales?  How does Sun Mountain get away with providing them?  How does anyone not test them beforehand?    As it turns out, the rainsuits Pavin bought from a merchandise tent are made by the same company who made the European team suits.........
When planning TOTW Golf Classic I, The Commish, caught some flack from a few when I suggested each team try and wear a "team color" shirt......well at least I didn't suggest either team wear colors more suitable for gay porn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough!  It's 12:00 sunday. I'm gonna watch some more. I still don't know if they will finish today, tomorrow, at what stage they're at.  etc......

I suggest they contact Heritage Shores.
