    Ryder Cup always brings back the memory of the 1999 Ryder Cup on AWIMB when I was a neophyte to The Arsenal and , well, the internet was wild and woolly. It was at that time, given the vitriol, that I came to understand that our vaunted "special relationship" wasn't very special nor much of a relationship.

    All in good fun, though.... I think. In retrospect it was pretty weird. It's just stupid golf after all. the players themselves are out of control in their histrionics. My theory is that their whole career is focused on their personal, individual abilities and achievements. Then every two years they are thrust into this team competition where your mistakes let down 11 other peers. They ain't used to it so don't know how to handle it.

    Was that the one where the filthy colonials cheated by running all over the green when the Europeans still had a putt to take? Disgraceful.

    I'm firmly on you chaps' side this year, chief. British golfers ought to be withdrawn from the team until they remove that foul flag from their uniforms.

    Yes! Yes, I believe it was. As I recall I was held personally responsible!

    The amusing thing was that most of the Euro team lived in the US, mainly Florida. There's this enclave of gated mansions where they and some USers live. Still do, I reckon.
