Monday: Ryder Cup is all done, back to America!!

Well we did not get to witness and American victory today but what an amazing Ryder Cup to see in person.  The US team charged out there and gave it there all.  The Euros just had such a good day yesterday it was easier for them to pick up the win.  We had a great time following Bubba and cheering him on, but he just ran into a buzzsaw today named Jimenez.  i had my American flag wrapped around my shoulders and held high for him to see to keep him going.  On 2 green he came over and gave Chas a hug and a high five from me and he was on his way.  It was a great match and Bubba just couldnt get some of the putts to fall.  Jimenez was chipping in from off the green and taking advantage of short putts.  It was great to watch him compete for his country and he did it with great respect and dignity.  I was proud.
After watching the end of that match we headed to 17 thinking it was a good place to sit and watch the tv and little did we know it was going to be a great place to watch the last few matches come in. 
We did not think starting the day that the American team would have much of a chance unless they came out firing on all cylinders, and they actually did!  We were watching the tv screen with anticipation of a possible comeback, running all the scenarios in our head.  And here comes Rickie Fowler on a birdie train!  The putt he drained on 17 was awesome to see in person and the 18th hole putt was just as exciting.  He really proved himself today and made Corey look pretty smart.
Then it was down to the last match and Hunter was clawing back.  Then Graham cracker hit a great putt on 16 and the momentum was just to much to for him to conquer.  Watching what took place on 17 was hard to watch because he is such a great player and that sort of pressure not many people get to feel.
All in all the week was fantastic.  I got to see a Ryder Cup in a foreign  country in person.  I meet two great new friends in Larry and Ruth Moody.  Got to watch my great friend Bubba and Angie battle it out.  And most of all got to spend time with my lovely wife Chas.  See all of you soon and hope the blog was enjoyable to keep up with.  I am so ready for home and you really fget to appreciate how well we have it back in the states when you visit another country.  HOME SWEET HOME!!

Thanks

GOD IS GOOD!!

GO USA!! (getting the cup back in 2012)
