Presidents Cup International Squad (*** NO LIV DISCUSSIONS/REFERENCES ***)

[Ferguson]

Good work by the Int'l Squad.  

Seems to be a trend starting here.

 

 

 

 

 

Scheffler didn't win. 

 

 

[Cali_Stinger77]

I think the ints will be lucky to halve a match today 🤣.  USA might close this out by tomorrow 

[Gregakin]

In an odd pro-US way, I'm pulling for the International team or a drama filled final day.  Nothing says, ha-ha, you're not missed and "the pool is deep", by being competitive with a perceived B flight.

Kuch probably asks his caddies for gas money when driving from the rental house to the golf course

Kuch is a good guy who screwed up in a very public manner, acknowledged it & made it right. I know it's fun to randomly get in a dig at him but it's probably time to let it go. He's about as far from a villain as you can get.

Does Rocky II really count as a huge upset considering the first fight went the distance and was a split decision? Clubber Lang was surely the bigger upset!

 

I just realized how much Clubber Land reminds me of current U.S. Senate candidate & former Heisman Trophy winner at UGA, Herschel Walker.

"Kuch is a good guy who screwed up in a very public manner paid someone exactly what he said he would pay them (plus extra), acknowledged it & made it right.'

 

Not to side track the thread (but itll most likely be at least 8-2 by days end), I never get the backlash for this. Kuch stated he would pay a guy an amount, paid him that exact amount and extra, and people are mad about it. Should he have paid more for the hotel he was staying at that week because he won? Paid more for the food he ate because he won?

Incredibly I thought last night it would be funny if you posted something like this today. Hmmm, similar sick minds?

Sound like Kuch got yelled at by his Nana 

 

🤣

 

“That was a tough thing on me and my family, but it was really tough when I heard from my grandmother and she’s reading headlines about her grandson,” Kuchar said.”

Bezuidenhout should have played yesterday. Pulling for the Americans (as long as they don’t return to the “War on the Shore” behavior) but also wishing good things for Christian. Like his story. Tough situation but came back and playing well

not that anything is wrong with that..

As someone who creates logos and branding systems, that was my first thought too : )

A sickness for sure............and the only prescription is more cowbell losses by Scheffler. 

 

 

Funny enough, I forgot this was going on until my wife reminded me this morning.   In her words, "did you see our only loss yesterday came from Scheffler?"    I laughed.  My wife is awesome.

I’m just tuning in after a little back and forth yesterday. It’s fun golf to watch cause there’s not much else until the World Series. 
I’m rooting for the internationals. Any kind of close match will suit me just fine. It’s pretty rah rah for the Americans and on paper I can’t see the Internationals winning. But it’s fresh golf. Wish the Internationals had more seasoned players.

[8602081]

Rooting for International.. because they are the underdogs.

 

 

Are we seeing any NON-PGA players in the area?

Curious, if they showed up to watch or protest..

 

 

Did they explain why Si Woo is not playing in the morning?  He won yesterday..

ya Internationals gotta get in gear!

 

Like Sebastian Munoz, what an awesome experience for the guy. 
 

Here’s how he keeps cool….

 

“Wait ... ice plunges?

 

That's right—Munoz subjects himself to full body submersions in icy cold water on a regular basis.

 

"It's kind of like a new hobby I picked up in the last month or so," he said. "Instagram was showing it enough that I decided to give it a try."

 

By staying there 12 minutes a week, you increase your dopamine by 250 percent," he said, "so it makes you happier. And I agree with it. I find it to be the toughest thing to do in the morning, and after that, the day becomes easy."

Basically zero interest in the President's Cup especially with this year's lineups.

NBC doing their best to make this seem closer than it’s going to be. 
here’s a dumb question - why isn’t Rory playing for the Internationals? Or is his PGA playing any international tour? 

[m d g]

Looks weird to see a guy (Horschel) playing without a hat : )

The Presidents Cup is International excluding Europe.

Nothing feels worse in the moment and amazing after quite like an ice bath or cold plunge. It just zaps all the swelling from your body. A few minutes of absolute hell but you feel completely rejuvenated after.

He is definitely using a mousse with volume enhancing properties.

And he just missed another 10 footer. This was automatic at the beginning of the year. 

[GrandStranded]

This is brutal.

I don’t know how they fix it, but the President’s Cup is the least interesting competition in golf. Maybe let women make up half the squads, so the Asian women can make it remotely competitive?

As it is now,I’d rather watch grass grow.

NBC searching for anything compelling to put on the tube and really stretching it with this new "golf cart cam" of the captains.  Apparently, they think we need to have a dashboard view of Davis Love's bean bag while he drives a golf cart.  C'mon man!!!

Unfortunately this isn't competitive.
