2018 Ryder Cup

Post by OregonFan4Life »

Anyone else paying attention to the Ryder Cup? This Europe crowd is beyond obnoxious. Never thought I’d see a crowd like this at a golfing event.

Is this your first time watching the Ryder Cup? Not even trying to be a smartass, just curious. They are notoriously rambunctious and if memory serves right, the last Ryder Cup in the US put this one to shame in terms of the crowd...interactions...we’ll call them.

First time watching it and not just highlights, I’ve heard others say this Europe crowd is the most obnoxious ever in terms of taunting, but I can’t say for sure that’s true. Hopefully both the US and Europe calm down in future Ryder Cups cause this honestly makes it less enjoyable for me.

I think the crowd involvement is what makes it so great but that’s just me. It’s such a unique format and the players seem to feed off of the crowd. So long as people aren’t yelling in back swings or when guys are lining up for shots, I think it’s all in good natured fun. Anytime you attach country pride into anything competitive, emotion is going to ratchet up for everyone involved. But again that’s just my opinion. I’m trying to get tickets to the 2020 Ryder Cup in Wisconsin and if I succeed (and convince my wife to let me go...probably the bigger barrier), I’ll be giving Team Europe the same treatment I give UW at Autzen...or Willie Taggart whenever I see his face on TV.

From what I've seen in previous Ryder Cup, the rules about crowd interaction and noise are vastly different than those for normal golf events, something which some golfers embrace and others don't totally like.

Gotcha, and to each their own, I think the taunting is the only thing I don’t like, cheering when a US player hits it into the water or misses a big putt, just a little too much from my perspective. But if it’s for the US it does seem a lot better! Hopefully you’ll be able to go in 2020, that’d be one heck of an experience!

Tommy Fleetwood is annoying me. Watching a recording of it now, won’t say anything in case someone hasn’t watched it yet, but gosh he’s annoying, not in terms of behavior but performance.
