In all your best cups for cups – Solheim cup, Pedestrian cupThe Cup of Presidents, Ryder cup -There are the sessions dedicated to alternative games -Ons. What the Scots call four. The Ryder Cup, in its official accounting, still uses that word. Across the square AND air conditionerAs golf terms, they have fallen in favor.
But foursome It survives and sometimes blooms. It is a real knot for a deep truth about the game: everything that is great for it has Scottish roots.
Have you ever played four? If you don’t have it, I recommend it. It’s not a good drill for your driver, or even your putter. But it will test your ability to lift up and when the moment requires it from you. In this, it resembles life. It will make you connect with your game partner in a way that others in sports can. And in this, too, it resembles life. It is a regular game in very few places, most of them are in Scotland. on PrestwickFor example, where the open championship began.
on Bethpage BlackAnd in any other case when Europeans have won a Ryder cup, this is because Europe has been prevalent in the fourth sessions. That is, the format with which each player receives curves.

In Bethpage, Europeans won the fourth Friday sessions on Saturday with the same difference, 3-1. Six points, on their way to the 14 they needed. There have been similar results over the years. European players are better at four times than American players. There is a reason for this. They come out of the most municipal cultures. In Europe, they love public transport. We are a nation of cowboy. Not judging a thing here, just trying to make an observation.
Europeans wore brown shirts on Saturday, and no one complained. My colleague Claire Rogers was making this point the next day: European players are much more comfortable being physical with each other – hugging, making an arm on a shoulder – than their American equivalents.
Agatha Mcnaughton, Wisrools, why are they are the right fog of love-and all expectations ‘and oohin’ and ahineterity in a well-stained meal somewhere in Scotland:
“All of them gentle, why are they are the right girlfriends of love – and all the expectations ‘and oohin’ and ahin ‘o’er yer shots, all the conversations o’ with this car and that a wonderful and other blow – what is everything but love?”
Yes foursomes golf mostly especially. I am not saying that Americans do not understand what Mrs. Mcnaughton is saying there. I am saying that for Europeans, her words are a way of life.
