My FiL was a golf enthusiast and played the game at a good level. He was absolutely tied into the etiquette of golf.
He is I suspect he is spinning in his grave at the antics of both players /caddies and above all spectators of this historic event. such a shame for the purist.
Nothing new. Americans can't do banter. They've never got it. But the vitriol they have spouted this week does sound quite a few decibels up than it has in the past. Would never want to make this political but I think you can put a lot of that down to the buffoon presiding over the place.

I wonder what the likes of Nicklaus makes of all this appalling behaviour. The US players and fans have been shocking - it was once a game where etiquette ruled.
I take it we're sending out Hovland last to give him the most amount of time to recover? And if he can't play English is the US scratch player
I saw a list of the pairings last night & I'm sure Hovland was in match 10. I think they have re-jigged it for that reason. Or that if Europe are well ahead by then there would be no point risking him.

Hovland has to withdraw 30 minutes before the first match starts in order for the match to be halved, if he leaves it later or withdraws once the first match is underway Europe concede the point.
IF he withdraws in time, the envelope will reveal the US player that misses out and if it’s not Harris English, he will take the place of whichever player it is.

Interesting, I imagine he's been having sports massages and maybe even painkilling injections last night/this morning to try and see if he can fight through it

If he was to get the necessary point to win, they will have to honour him with a statue.

He went for a MRI last night, all depends on the outcome of that.
I'm no golfer and can't say I'm much of a fan when it's on the TV either - but if the American's are getting whooped then count me in.
Just one question to all you experts though. Has there ever been a recorded example of where shouting "Get in the hole" - usually in a loud and obnoxious American voice - has ever encouraged the ball to unilaterally take it upon itself to change course and direction of it's own accord and plop into a hole?

Was listening to the No laying up podcast earlier and they think this crowd will turn on the yank players when it finally slips away.
