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 British golfers ought to be withdrawn from the team until they remove that foul flag from their uniforms.
