European golf fans used to be polite and subdued, yet well appreciating good play on the links with a nice, but soft, clap of the hands. Just being good gentlemen and gentleladies, you know? But my, how things have changed! Today and everyday, they are loud and boisterous, singing and chanting so strongly that the angels in heaven could probably hear them. It is as if all those male fans had just walked out of the pub after downing a few pints. No more \u201cstaying cool, being calm, and carrying on\u201d as the Brits say. They make America\u2019s male, golf crowds sound like some little choir boys.<\/p>\n

Yet, you got to tip your cap to these European professional golfer men. When they get on their home turf, they are tough as leather to beat. The last time the USA was victorious across-the-pond in the Ryder Cup was back in the last century\u2013in 1990.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath just minutes ago, both team captains\u2013America\u2019s Zach Johnson and Europe\u2019s Luke Donald\u2013were fighting back tears in television interviews. The emotions were intense. Nowadays, they always are in the Ryder Cup\u2013the world\u2019s premier contest in the greatest game on grass (though I guess a lot of pro soccer players around the world might dispute that since they don\u2019t like playing on our artificial turf).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
