This past weekend, we were fortunate enough to be at the final round of the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla in Louisville, KY and to see the USA win the cup for the first time in nine years. Micki's Dad secured four tickets and took us along with Matthew. It was truly an awesome experience (thanks again Clay!) and unlike any other event in golf. As Matt put it... where else can you cheer with excitement when a European golfer misses an important put!? The crowd was very loud and rowdy!
The tickets were great and included access to the member's pavilion where we could cool off and grab a drink while continuing to watch on one of the many TVs. Unfortunately there are no cameras or cell phones allowed into the event so we have no pictures to share, but here are a few of the memorable moments and some pictures and videos I found...
- Boo Weekly riding his driver like a horse - video
- Kim not giving Garcia any gimmies
- Sergio Garcia's walk of shame after sinking 2 balls in the water on number 7 - video
- Local boy Kenny Perry's dad showed up to watch in overalls - Picture
- Meeting Fuzzy Zoeller - What a great guy!
- Fans of Boo dressed in all camo
- Kim's diamond studded USA belt buckle - Picture
- Kim's challenge of Garcia's unplayable lie..."Do what you've gotta do" - Picture
- Micheal Jordan
- The roar when Mahan sunk his 40 foot birdie put on number 17 (We were standing on the edge of the green) - Picture
