Not much one can do with the weather. But what happened on Monday was great golf and very exciting. I understand that it was disappointing to witness Hunter Mahan's unsuccessful shot, but that doesn't spoil all the great golf that was performed all day long. And so close. A great Ryder Cup.
Agreed. Not much can be done with the weather, unless you guys across the pond have invented something that controls the weather
That is the main comment to have come out of the Ryder Cup this week, is that its on too late in the year. October is not the greatest of months in the UK or Europe (it will prob be the same in the States as well) It used to be in mid to late Sept which worked out quite well but the FedEx Cup kinda scuppers that idea now and the PGA Tour will never allow to have the Ryder Cup slap bang in the middle of the play offs and some players (on both sides) could end up playing 4-5 weeks in a row.

No blame was assessed to anyone in my post, I just commented on where this Ryder Cup ranks, it has nothing to do with who won. I thought 2002 was great, USA lost there as usual.

The fact that you couldn't see what was going on the last day doesn't make this year's Ryder Cup the worst ever for everybody else who saw what was going on - both the spectators and all the TV watchers here in Europe and elsewhere. And the weather was wonderful (except some fog the first half hour).
Agreed, 99 at brookline is probably my least favourite Ryder Cup but I admit that its mainly down to the fact that we lost. 2years ago the event was great but we lost then too.
I thought this was a great Ryder Cup not just because we won but because it came down to the last match. Yes the weather was an inconvenience but there was plenty of golf on Saturday and after a delay on Sunday as well. Monday was magical and great entertainment. In no way would I classify this the worst ryder ever.
The fact that you can't program your VCR shouldn't mean its the event''s fault!
