The Ryder Cup 2006

[Vertius]

Yes, Golf Fans, one of the most important golfing championships in the world is drawing near! Starting the 22nd of September, and ending on the 24th of September, Europe and the U.S. duke it out over the greens of the K Club.

This Ryder Cup is very special to me, since it is on 10 minutes down the road from me. Although, due to the lack of tickets, I'm not able to attend, I'll be watching it live on television.

So, Golfing Fans, which team do you think will win? Are you going to watch it? Which player will you be keeping your eye on?

I think the US. will win for once in a very long time. Tiger Woods seem determined to wipe out that bad Ryder form of his. Dinner for the four rookies? Haha. I laughed when I read it. And the Europeans are, well, a bit messy. Sort of made me not as interested in this event. I won't watch it, for sure, but maybe catch some highlights if I hear some super interesting stunts. Player to keep an eye on? The European guy who just lost his wife? Scott? I forgot his name. I can't seem to remember names outside the top seeds. I don't know why, but he (and Tiger Woods) are the only attractive forces to me. It's been sometime since I watched golf, until recently with the Singapore Open in my country. I just recalled what's a bogey. Geh.

I love the Ryder Cup. I don't really watch it, but I love watching/listening to all the British commentators refer to Europe as "us" for the duration of the contest before going back to villifying eveything from "The Continent".

Anyway, Europe will walk it. The pressure isn't on them to keep winning, but on the US to stop losing. They'll implode under the pressure as things get rough.

The K Club is about 20 minutes drive from my place but i will not be going as i do not have a ticket and i am not a big big golf fan.

But i will be watching and of course have to agree with John Layfield, all the pressure is on the US to win it.
Apparently, to alot of golfing experts the K Club is meant to be an easy course to play on, lets wait and see.

Well, this morning, practice was delayed because Ireland was being buffeted by the tail-end of Hurricane Gregory. There was fear the practice day wouldn't go on. However, it looks like it began at 10A.M. GMT, and the practice has been on since.

I'm unsure about what's more important about this weekend: The Ryder Cup or Suikoden V's European Release. Both will be memorable, I hope.

I hope Europe wins, seeing how the event is in Europe, but my money's on the Americans. They just want it more, and who's surprised, seeing what happened at the 2004 Ryder Cup?
