The New and Improved Ryder Cup

[Mors Ab Alto]

Alright, here is my idea for the greatest intercontinental golfing exhibition. It combines the Ryder and President's Cups and would be held yearly. It would involve 6 teams, comprised of 12 players from each continent (as soon as penguins learn how to fix divots, Antarctica can join). It will be a round robin, double elimination tournament, a la the World Cup. All matches will be singles match play, and every team will play every other team twice, two matches per meeting.

I think this is much better than having the Ryder Cup and then pretending to care about the President's Cup while we are all really just waiting for the next Ryder Cup. Besides, what kind of team name is "the rest of the world"? If I were Adam Scott or Vijay Singh or Retief Goosen, I would be upset. It's almost like calling them "the leftovers".

They could hold it after the FedEx Cup ends (when the only people still playing are those trying to secure Tour cards/invites to Hawaii in January. And they would hold it on a different continent.

Anyone like this idea? Maybe we could petition the governing bodies to sanction it.

Personally I dont get why ppl are getting all bent outta shape aboot the Ryder Cup all the sudden... There is nothing wrong with the way they have things setup and its a great tradition.

Though thats a good idea. But the problem is thats too many teams. No one wants to hear about team africa or team whatever. theres already the presidents cup and ryder cup, I think thats enough personally.

Not the best idea you've had Mors. I think eventually the USA will foster some proper talent or else try and expand to North America.

Alright, how about this:

They will have their respective "Miss Whatever" caddying, in shortie short shorts, and halter top polo shirts. In the words of the great Donald Trump "That's classy!"

Now who will watch?!?

[warbirdlover]

"thongs" or "string bikinis" would be better

How about Gulbis -v- Creamer in said thongs and bikini tops?

Alright, here's the plan:

Gulbis v. Creamer v. Wie (in 1 year) v. Bri Vega v. Catherine Bell v. Catherine Zeta-Jones wearing white halter tops and daisy dukes, in the rain (little more subtle than all out thongs). It could be televised on Spike TV.

Too much?

Too little. It would have to be on a muddy golf course, in sunshine. I'm not paying to watch umbrellas!

Who said there would be umbrellas available (hence the white clothes).

Loser has to strip and kiss the winner, and the winner has to strip and kiss the loser.



And a second round mandatory mud match

Mud match is for playoffs!

[JEFF4i]

Playoffs indicate that there are some going to be left out, I'm an equal oppurtunity pervert.

Tradition? The format has changed so many times over the years you can't keep all the changes straight. Jack Nicklaus was the genius behind making it the entire continent of Europe vs. United States to make it more "competitive." Yea, that sure worked!

Anyway, the only tradition the Ryder Cup has is that there aren't any!
