Oh jen-you lucky duck! At least you will be in the same city as the pros!
I hope I can remember to tune in online (I am covered up with my sons' football) but if not,I'll be looking forward to your updates.
Thank you so much for keeping us in the know!

P.S.- WOW about Greg and Chris. That's a shame.

I am full of anticipation for the Cup. Looking forward to seeing the Japanesse kid play and hopefully he gets a round against Tiger. I am disappointed that Freddy did not pick Jerry Kelly. Its his turn.
I read that this moring about Greg and Chris. When will folks learn that it is easier to take in borders then marry them. These "forever" marriages are a bore. As much as I adore Liz Taylor I never understood her insistence upon marrying them.
I do want to watch it on TV, love instant replay and the analysis.

I love the classic tennis matchs too featuring old Davis Cup matchs and my favorites Andre, Illie Nastase (I still have an autographed napking), Mac, Jimmy, even Evone Gulaghan (????? spelling). The Seidham Cup was terrific and only shown on the Golf Channel. Here we go!!!!!!! Opening Ceremonies tomorrow. Had some great footage of Freddy including his hote in one on #17 at Sawgrass. :tonguewag:

LMBO I'm so use to golf coming on early because it's on the east coast.. and couldn't find anything... we have another 3 and half hours for anyone to tee off.. lol. Guess they need to wait for the fog to clear. Going to be beautiful today... first ones tee off around 12:15 PST.

See ya then...




Tell Jordan to put out that cigar... no smoking allowed on public courses in San Francisco...:tongue:

LMBO... Singh has been horrible at putting this year...

Going to check and see what's going on.. they all are just teeing off now.. can't wait to get home and watch tonite.

So much for the commentators although I am delighted to see Anzinger along with Faldo. Together they are terrific and hope this will be the line up at Gold Channel from now on. In any event, Allenby and Singh won their match, as did Els and Scott. Unless the Internationals get a miracle, it will be 4 - 2. Kim and Michelson great, actually so was everyone of the match ups.

I love the clothing picks from both Captains. Very stylish. To date none of those awful pattern stuff. This is everything I hoped it would be and Clark's birdie yesterday was phenominal. Best of luck to everyone on both teams. Allenby and Singh are unsung heroes so far. I said from the get go that Greg should pick Choi. The Asians are terrific and gritty. Ryo - love this kid. Wish Jerry Kelly had gotten a spot, too.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Tiger just did to typical Tiger shots.. one chip onto the green and one drop putt.. was beautiful.. Stricker and him just got their match.. as the other team gave in...

Think last I saw US was ahead by 3 1/2

Stricker and Woods are on fire together and having a blast... Have not lost a match yet...:thumbsup:

Loved the two Uncle Sam's in the gallery lol!
Maybe you could tell me why Tiger was wearing his Sunday red?
I don't understand the scoring in this type of play :blushing:

Been watching since 8 this morning.. I am so loving it. Tiger and Steve Stricker haven't lost a match yet... Tiger gets it on the green and Steve putts the puppy in.. I lost count how many birdies he has gotten today and Woods almost got a hole in one..:thumbsup:

USA is HOT today.. tomorrow is the single play... going to be great..

Will have to swap channels tomorrow.. between football and racing though...:scared:

Ernie Els is playing great too... His match is ahead for the Intl. Justin Leonard is having a really really tough day.. so has Glover...

Oglivy and Allenby are winning their match..

But US is still ahead

USA uniforms.. all the US players where the same thing.. as do the Intl. teams.. they have the same outfits also.

It's called match play. Four players, two of each team. I believe the way it works is they all tee off, the all approach the green, once on the green the one whose ball is closest to the hole is the ball that is played.. not sure how they figure out who putts it in.. but only one ball of the team gets putted.. I know it doesn't make sense.. hard to follow... But at least you know why Tiger was wearing red...lol.

Tomorrow on Sunday is normal round of golf.. single play...

Man I love the Cypress trees on this course.. you can see how they are all growing one direction.. that's from the wind coming off the Pacific..

Can't believe the sun never came out over there today... bet it's cold over there.. it's so close to the ocean..

OMG.. I just heard this.. if Stricker and Woods win this hole.. they will be the first team in match play.. to win all four of their team matches..

Dang.. more records... hope they play these two together during the Ryder Cup next year..lo

Ooops... one more hole to take the match.. last one didn't work out..

Ok,NOW I know why he is in red!
So if it's single play tomorrow,do they all start from zero or how do they decide who wins?
I hope I can watch a little tomorrow,but with football and racing,I'm not placing any bets on it........

Have no fear just check here.. lol.. hubby is gone till Tuesday night so it's just me and my kitties.. I go have a knee replacement on Thursday so I'm taking it easy this weekend and getting in my board time...LMBO..

Anyway.. I'll keep you posted...

OK.. right now it's still match play.. US leads right now by 2 points, I'll know shortly how many points we will be leading by for the end of the day..

Now tomorrow when they play will be like a regular tourney play.. one us against one intl. player... now how they score that I'm not sure.. not sure if it's one point for the winner of each 18 holes per team or not... will make sure I find out and let you know.

Check here tomorrow for updates...

If Tiger and Steve win their rounds tomorrow they will have won 5 rounds in the Presidents cup and it's only been done twice before.. awesome...

Hope they wear Tiger read tomorrow...

Oh by the way Lefty has been playing really great today too...
