Badly dressed golfers at the Ryder Cup

Each time the Ryder Cup hits town, the captains try to outdo each other in brightly coloured team outfits. WHY? They always look stupid.

I agree, but of course Tom Lehman didn't call me and ask for my opinion! Maybe they should delegate shirt design to the wife of the Captain, or the players' wives?

What ever happened to conservative shirts? I think if the US team used a few variations of red, white and blue (solid color with contrasting piping) they'd look a lot better, and more Ryder Cup shirts would probably be sold retail here in the US.

And of course they should save their "red" shirt for the last day in honor of Mr. Woods.

Just my opinion.

^ I think if they wore Ronald Mcdonald fits they would distract the european team and possibly make them laugh so much inside it would affect theyre shots

Quite common over here for the poorer weather periods... although I only like it on rainproofs myself.
