You are not getting it. When the Euro's do it it's cool bantz, but the American's are just being obnoxious.
To be clear, both sides do it and I have zero issues as long as it is not during the backswing.

I responded to the stupid GIF.
You really didn’t
I don’t approve of that. Like I said it’s golf not football. However there is a nasty edge and a particular boorish aspect to some of the American Fan behavior.Its been there as long as I recall, back before Kiawah Island and the so called “war on the shore” in 91. Brookline in 99.
Trumpism before anyone heard of Trump.
If I say I did I did.
Normally name calling is off limits on the Caf, but since you’re calling yourself one, I’ll allow it.
This is the way
Whatever.
Boo on these late start times.

Europe without doubt have an inferior team but I haven’t enjoyed Padraig’s answers all week about most things
European need 8.5 points today, right? 
Need 9 to tieEuropean need 8.5 points today, right?
Great start by Rory
Rahm has got to be exhausted and I think it is showing.
at first I thought the side by side (golf on one, commercial on the other) was a great innovation that let us not miss play and let the networks show commercials. Unfortunately NBC has decided they can now show commercials 50% of the time. Abomination.

Europe getting slaughtered atm
US will continue to dominate the ryder cup for many years to come. The avg ranking and the players' age says it all really.
This has to be the biggest winning margin in a very long time.
Beyond humiliation

Was always happening, look at the state of the teams
Most of the EU guys are out of form coming into this. Most the yanks were hitting form.
Euro’s just need to claw it back to 18 for the US, only way to get something from this.
Wow, Rory very emotional good to see. US just to good.

That shot from Casey
USA level is absolutely insane.
Golf isn't one of the 3 sports I really follow so apologies if this has been discussed here, but, looking at the rankings, there's quite a number of players in the top 70 or so not eligible for the Ryder Cup because they're from South Africa, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Japan, South Korea, etc.
With sport ever widening up nowadays, and giving the less traditional continents more opportunities, has there been talk of further extending the Ryder Cup to include players from Asia, Africa, Oceania, etc? And, if so, how they'd divide the newcomers to try and keep it fairly equal as it's been over the years since becoming Europe v USA?

That's the Presidents cup which is the US vs the rest of the world (minus Europe) I think.
Ah, thanks. So they've included them in a different tournament? That's a decent solution I guess.
If this continues for a while then it may become a point of discussion but Europe have won most of the recent Ryder Cups. The gulf in quality right now is absolutely vast, the Europeans might be able to trick up the home courses but it's difficult to see how they win in the US for a while.
This is getting out of hand. The record, at least in modern times, is 18.5 points if my googling is correct.
True.
I wasn't really thinking of it in terms of helping either side. I just thought, with the way Sports generally now have to cater for all continents that compete - especially Asia with it's market and wealth - then continuing to exclude the (South) Africans, Asians, Oceania players might be an issue that's debated.
But I didn't know about the Presidents Cup, so I guess that's addressed the issue to an extent.
Morikawa is my favorite golfer out there right now, such a complete player. That iron game
Edit: Appropriate he seals the win

What’s even more scarier is the level of people who didn’t even make the team for US like Horschel is higher than half of the European team
He almost aced it!!!
You were saying…
Some top quality golf from the US, such a high level by all 12. Unbelievable really.
I'm a fairweather golf fan, but that was so timid from Europe. Lost every session, never even threatened a sniff of a fightback.
Great US side etc etc but it was a total let down of a spectacle.

Yup . For all the hype about the Ryder cup the tournament needs to be competitive for it to work . With Europe having been on a nice run it’s good that US won but the one sidedness made it really boring
Where is the next generation of European players going to come from? This side is ancient and the generation of Westwood, Garcia, Poulter, Casey, Rose is moving on, where are the stalwarts of the side going to come from? Rahm and McIlroy are here to stay, but aside from those 2 you can almost see the next 10 as being almost interchange every 2 years, which indicates a real lack of strength.
Could be a very bad run of RCs coming up.
