Swing and a miss...

Ryder Cup....or should it be called the European Cup?
Even with Tiger Woods getting to pick his partner and finishing with a winning record for the first time in the Ryder Cup, it still didn't change the outcome from two years ago.

Europe 18½, United States 9½.

You would think the US would dominate in Golf but it is not the case in this format. Euro has won 6 out of the last 8 and has held the trophy since 1999.

So what needs to be done to stop the slide....

• Ditch the selection system. Instead of depending on the PGA of America's dumb point-scoring formula and two captain's picks, let the next captain pick all 12 members of the U.S. team. Lehman's two wild-card choices, Stewart Cink and Scott Verplank, won two of the 3½ points earned by the Americans on Sunday. Together, they accounted for nearly half of U.S.'s total points. Paul Azinger is the favorite to become the next U.S. captain for the next go round in 2008.

Any thoughts???
