Europe Secures Ryder Cup

It was certainly a tough competition this year but Europe managed to win the Ryder Cup without even looking into golf trolley batteries or battery to fit Powakaddy but how did they manage to pull one off?

The Captain

Good old reliable Monty was the captain of the European team this time round and I do not think they could have chosen better!. one of the best things about Monty is that he knew the team very well and he knew how to play the strengths and weaknesses. Although the last day was a very close one indeed it is safe to say that without Montys decisions on the second and third days Europe would have already lost.

The Weather

Although it would seem the Europeans claim the weather had nothing to do with it, I think they are rather wrong. It is very safe to say that the weather suited the Europeans and it was miserable, you will find that so many of the American players are really not used to this kind of thing, they had to take advantage of the weather and I believe they did just that.

The Course

The Europeans had the advantage as we were on home soil but when thinking about it carefully, does this actually matter. We have won many times over in the US and the Americans have done the same here.

In the end it had nothing to do with the above three reasons or those lithium golf batteries as it was a lot more to do with luck than anything else. Of course there were a lot of skills involved and this is fine but there was also a hell of a lot of luck involved with it all too!

In the end what happened of course cannot be changed and the losers will have to think of the mistakes they made whilst the winners have to think about what they can do to keep the title for when they head to the USA in two years time!
