BOOM

quote:
According to Bishop, the task force will consist of 10 to 12 members who will be current and former players, former captains and PGA officials. Numerous sources have told GolfChannel.com the group will likely include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III and possibly Paul Azinger, the 2008 U.S. captain who has been mentioned as the next possible captain.
Bishop said the PGA will announce the makeup of the task force "in the next week or so."

Long overdue. I think step #1 is to follow the Euro model on captains and spend some time grooming your future captain - i.e. make sure they spend the previous RC or two as an asst captain.

Are they going to hold workshops on playing foursomes? And getting putts to the cup?!

Apparently he was asked but declined.

Would be nice to see Azinger as the next captain, along with a vice captain or two that you have in mind for 2018 and possibly even 2020. To the point several have made, they have to start taking a long-term approach to building the team, and that starts with the leadership. For this round, go get a veteran captain and some vice captains that you'll groom to succeed.

We deserve mocking. This is still the right thing to do though.

From two guys who haven't even won a major.

I guess Paul figured he would get frustrated with the whole thing. I can see that.

He said his answer wasn't no, it was not yet. Also, he's never even met three of the people on it in person, and the PGA hasn't really talked to him about the RC since 2008.

A task force can't change the fact that American golfers are mentally weak and choke under pressure.

Some of our point losses were by guys who played really good , but just got beat. With Reed , Spieth {hook 'em} ,Walker and Fowler , our future is bright.

Don't forget Stefani. I fully expect him to be a ryder cup mainstay over the next decade.

Is one of their tasks going to be seminars on how not to wilt under pressure and then whining that it was someone else's fault? Or are they going to ignore the real issue?

Spieth played well with Reed but his performance in singles is the exact s##t that has been causing the Americans to lose. He's 3 up through nine holes, then proceeds to lose five of the next six holes. And he was losing with bogeys -- he didn't "just get beat" it was a classic American Ryder Cup choke job.

Reed's still looking good. Three up on Jamie Donaldson at the 15th today. Match play seems to agree with him.

Concur.

Stop playing like sh.t and it wouldn't be a problem. If you need to be placed in pods and feel all chummy with your pals in order to play well, then you're just a poosay.

Man the hell up and go play instead of looking for excuses.
