Ryder Cup 2012: Investigation after American fans abuse Europe's players, wives and late captain Seve Ballesteros - Telegraph

I think this is an indication of the mentality of a lot of American golf fans rather than an indication of Americans in general - I'll say that first data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

I've hated the way American golf crowds behave for some years now and I wish they'd sort them out and try to stop all the mindless shouting etc. Why do they think that shouting "get in the hole" is a good thing to do data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 It's even more stupid when they shout it from the tee on a par 5 hole data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Agreed. I have to say I did also meet a fair few who actually came over mid "very loud and excited" celebrations to shake our hands and say congratulations

The "in the hole" shouts were something I was expecting and actually wasn't as bad as I thought in fairness

What got my back up was the "get in the water", "get I the bunker" and the constant cheering of clutch puts missed. Banter some wold say, bad sportsmanship I took it as!

Indeed, you just don't expect or want that kind of thing. You'd expect it for football matches but not golf.

But you know what that's what made the victory all the more sweeter. They were absolutely stunned and couldn't believe what had happened to them!

I'd give anything to have been there and to have been able to walk around with a smug grin on my face after the victory data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Jose Maria Olazabal is to step down as captain for 2014. Who would you have as the next captain ?.

JimmyMac Publish time 2-12-2019 21:42:16

Jimenez, just so we can see him with the massive cigar round the course data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
