I don't understand, and don't know if I want to, how golfers can come together and work as a team. Surely the aim is to get the little white thing in the hole in a fewer whacks as possible. Every golfer, surely, should be trying for that? So where does the teamwork come in? If all the european ball-hitters hit their balls fewer times than their american opponents they'd have won, yeah?

As our American friends love to shout
"get in the hole" even on a par 5 tee off

It was exciting, unexpected and well deserved. But to be honest this was a very close call and the U.S team seemed more solid.

But the ball is round, and round she is

Nope.

Because safari On my phone crashes within moments of tryIng to post a reply, I have to quickly post then edit. So if you see a few words posted that don't make sense, assume its either Reece or Yubba. If i posted it, then wait about 10 minutes and reload, I'm editing my post.

As to HB, I really enjoyed the team match play, where two players shared a ball and took alternate shots. Didn't get to watch the 4 ball segment. That's what makes it a team sport.

Thanks for explaining, but the objective is still the same, hole the ball in as few his as possible - they may play together, but I'd not call it a team sport just yet.

By this logic, and it is frequently argued, baseball is not a team sport either.

My dad was an avid golfer, and played quite well, but I never became a fan. This concept, though, I find intriguing. Not that anyone would ever want me on their team. Kind of like all the other sports I tried.
