The USA Ryder Cup Team Wins 17 - 11
Whew, what a week of Golf!! The USA Ryder Cup team beat the European team in convincing fashion and, arguably, the greatest month of golf in it's history finished with the USA Team at the top of our international sport for the first time in many years.  What a great victory!!
Most of us who have been captured by this game for so long and have an incredible passion to follow the Tours, play and play and play, have seen this type of emotion and excitement before. Hello, remember Brookline?  But, this time is pretty sweet with the USA victory and being able to witness the precision with which each of these men play this wonderful game.  Just, "WOW!!!".

....didn't the antics display a, kinda, immature and over-the-top emotionalism?

These is NO taking away from the magnitude of the victory for the USA and the spectacular performance of our European buddies.  (Man, didn't Sergio show up, finally? Whew.)

But, (you knew it was coming) didn't the antics display a, kinda, immature and over-the-top emotionalism?  Didn't it seem that a few of the players reacted differently than they normally would? I get it, it was a big stage and Patrick Reed's emotional example from 2014 set the stage for outward displays of the "shush" signal, as evidenced by Rory and Sergio a few times, but, many of the players went overboard in their expressions, many times in response to the stupidity of the equally inappropriate behavior of USA and/or European hecklers. I don't know, just a comment on maturity and the state of our cultures, I guess.

So, yes, we won and I was mesmerized by the pageantry and artistry and, even, the sportsmanship of Rory and Patrick when they fist-pumped after matching birdies early in their Sunday lead-off match.

But, again, the immaturity of many of the players and, especially, the fans continues to leave an odd taste in my mouth that sours the sweet taste of Ryder Cup victory & history.

​Just sayin'.
