Ah . . . Ryder Cup? Last weekend . . . Did you see it? The US Team won for the first time since 1999.

It was Phenomenal!

It was the 37th Ryder Cup which was held September 16-21, 2008 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. USA captain was Paul Azinger. Europe captain was Nick Faldo.

I've never played golf, but my father is a long-time golfer and I do usually make it down to the Buick Open every year, which usually involves a few games of foosball with Azinger during the beginning of the week. And if I am home long enough to catch a tournament, I will have it on.

I'm trying not to be biased - because Zinger was the captain, but he was so deserving of this win! Azinger, 48, turned pro in 1981 has won 14 world-wide professional championships. Click Here to see what my home page is when I log onto the INTERNET (smile) (No it's not MyBayCity.com)

I've asked a number of people after the tournament .. Did you watch the Ryder cup tournament last weekend? Did you see the press conference afterward.? I even filmed the closing ceremonies.

Should be big talk the following Monday. Right? I thought I can't wait, and disappointedly heard nothing. I asked a friend if he was gonna watch it . . . and I got a comment like . . . "Golf is boring . . . Call me when there's 5 minutes left in the tournament."

What!!

Some may think golf is boring to watch . . . if you play the game yourself you definately understand what a great and competitive sport it is, and there was nothing boring about this year's Ryder Cup Tournament.

The show of patriotism at the Ryder Cup was almost better then the Olympics, the excitement of "us against them" and the patriotism was awesome. Incredible shots . . . Whats not to like??

This was sports entertainment at it's best . . . The fun wasn't over after the tournament ended . . . There was the closing ceremonies . . . I only wished I was at . . . and the press conference afterward . . . Boo Weekly . . . What a Hoot! A super funny character that made it fun to watch.

Below are a couple clips from YouTube . . . I'm still in search for a copy of Weekley's comments at the press conference.
