Its been over a week since the Team USA debacle in the Ryder Cup. My favorite golfing event that happens only every 700 days or so has finally gone and passed. It might take me that amount of time to get over my depression before I start to get excited for the next Ryder Cup, which will be in the balance at Whistling Straights in 2020. In the past week there have been fights, finger-pointing, fabricated stories, and I’m sure another noun that starts with F from Team USA. Why does this happen? Yes, emotions run wild, especially after a loss (please see me the week after a Notre Dame Football loss), but does a team do that to each other? No! A team accepts responsibility for their actions as a team and makes changes as a team to correct their deficiencies. A team doesn’t make the changes publicly, they do it behind the scenes. That was why the Task Force was created. A team is a group of individuals with a common cause that work together to reach a goal. I thought they were starting to do that, but a true team does not do what it is currently doing. Right now, Team USA is a group of individuals and not a team. Right now, Team USA is publicly fighting each other. Right now, Team USA does not have a leader. Right now, Team USA needs help. What do you think?
PS I would be happy to help and play in the next one if they need!
