Imagine hearing the chant encompassing the acreage around Whistling Straits in Wisconsin in September of 2021 all 3 days of the unique competition. It was the chant that has been practiced by fans to help render support for the return of the cup to the USA. The Ryder Cup, that the European team had held for going on 3 years. It was our first time to experience The Ryder Cup and I truly didn’t realize the impact that was going to have on us for the future. We have been to many Professional Golf Events and it really represents the “Titans of the Tour”… battling head to head for the elusive win on the PGA Tour… grab the trophy… thank all the supporters… collect the check and we’ll see ya next week. The Ryder Cup is obviously different. Granted you have the same Titans of the Tour. that battle each week, but this time they are working together as a “TEAM.” The USA vs The Europeans. Now granted that is a battle of golfers going on in some great formats that you don’t see on a day-to-day tour event. It is totally different with Win/Loss records on the line and the ability to hold your emotions in check. The Ryder Cup is a BUCKET LIST event that every golfer must experience. There is nothing like standing close to players like Bryson DeChambeau and hearing the sound that his club makes at impact… or quality wedge play from the youngest player on the team, Collin Morikawa… BUT then there were

the fans. You suddenly start to watch the USA Fans… but they weren’t alone. Many Europeans that made the trip across the pond were there to show off their colors as well.
Here is just few of the fun that we experience. As we came away from the The Ryder Cup… we were already starting to plan for a trip to Rome in 2023 to continue The Ryder Cup experience.
