    Rain gear doesn't keep you dry?

    Bags don't keep grips dry (while they're in it)?

    EPIC......EPIC failures. The US got a reprieve with the weather delay.

    Play has resumed. Two matches US up and two for Europe.

    I heard reports of sideways winds with rain to match. Also I've played many a time in the rain and I don't care what you do, rain gets into your bag.

    Ever played with a caddy? There's no reason for grips to get wet inside a TOUR player's golf bag.

    Tough to play with casual water on the greens and overtaking most areas in the fairways. I don't think it had to do with dry grips but the condition of the course IMO.

    You sound like you're complaining about that.

    Dude....get a grip....lol. Where in the hell do you come up with this stuff???

    Read what I wrote, again. Now...How do you discern a "complaint"? I stated a fact.

    Calm down there Jeff. Not every thread you're involved in has to turn into a pissing match. One of these days you're going to be involved in a thread that doesn't...... I have faith in you kiddo.
    I took what you said wrong. You were *****ing about the Ryder Cup the whole post then follow it up with the US got a reprieve with the weather. What would make one think you weren't still *****ing?

    I wasn't *****ing about anything. I was pointing out 3 facts:

    1. The US Ryder Cup team raingear was CRAP.
    2. The US Ryder Cup team bags were CRAP.
    3. The US team got a reprieve, due to the weather delay. If the weather had been a little less harsh, it would have gotten UGLY.

    No inflection required to discern that.

    I dont' know whether to be pissed at Hunter Mahan or feel bad for him. He simply could not handle the pressure. One of the worst chip shots I've seen by a pro. Not to mention the iron shot into that par 3 to begin with. But.......... how about Ricky Fowler? WOW that dude showed some fight. Never really been a big fan, but to be on that stage in that position and do what he did was unreal IMO.

    Agree on both accounts.

    I feel REALLY bad for Hunter. But, there's a LOT of "blame" (if one is so inclined) to go around.

    Yeah Hunter didn't lose it per say. He just happened to be the only one left that could have won it. They lost as a team on Saturday (or sunday... or whenever the hell the saturdays matches were. I get confused with the rain delays.)

    I predicted a much more resounding defeat for the USA. I was impressed with the come back the last day. The TEAM lost it on... well whatever day it was they played a day late. LOL You just can't have a 5 1/2 to a 1/2 day.
