Ryder Cup

This Sunday morning Sept 24th I took the train and bus to the Ryder Cup at 6:45am. Got there early to walk around the K Club near Dublin. The golf course was designed by Arnold Palmer and looked similar to many courses in the United States. The excitement of the Europeans along with the Irish people was amazing. The folks out here loved their golf heroes. They loved to cheer their players, but also very considerate and well-mannered regarding the Americans. It is unfortunate that our players from the States did not play as well. The Europeans were flawless and played outstanding golf. Tiger Woods did well today in the single matches along with Stewart Cink, but the others struggle to keep up. Final score with Europeans 18 and half and United States 9 and half. I brought a sign today and held it up during the matches and got some cheers before the matches began when I was in the stands at the first tee. It rained in the morning and I was wet, but it warmed up in the afternoon and the weather was great afterwards. I was so grateful to be here at the Ryder Cup and to experience the thrills of victory and defeat.
