Linderstam: The world will stand still and Stenson to be in its center – Aftonbladet

Gleneagles. If anyone now thinking about what this weekend has to offer so should he quickly listen to Tom Watson.

65-year-old, who, after all, knows a lot about both golf and entertainment, is saying:

– You can not see a better golf shot than in the Ryder Cup. Golf does not get any better than this.

There is of course a great privilege to be here. To breathe the fresh air, hear the enthusiastic crowd and feel the Ryder Cup-pulse constant and rhythmic rise. But having said that – this is a competition that really is best enjoyed from the couch, with his feet on a table, his hand on a beer and look at a tv.

We journalists are of course not exactly unaccustomed to beat on the really big drum, but I would probably still argue that the Ryder Cup offers one of the sporting world’s absolute best television experience, if not the absolute best, and it is a statement that does not even qualify as an exaggeration.

The classic kind golf’s eternal dilemma is that it is difficult to create nerve over 72 holes and 4 days, but the Ryder Cup is in precisely this context its total antithesis. This is rather an almost perfect form of competition where each class is important.

First, we bästboll DEVICES gun fights which is a bit like speed-fueled happy country. Then we have the foursome-game melancholic soul, where one player at a moment can kill the mood by tearing down what another has built up. And finally, we have single game fateful symphony, a psychologically exhausting hiking alone with both their own demons and a ruthless opponent in game … Yes, sport becomes like not much better than the Ryder Cup.

dared not let himself

Possibly you are now still a little blinded by the hysterical drama at Medinah two years ago, but so be it, for after all it is an experience you would like to be able to make a installation out and open a museum around.

When Europe on jänkarnas own ground, then stood for

what would become a historic pickup dared hardly put a fart for fear of losing concentration than less fetch coffee. It happened things, everywhere and all the time, and the producer behind the TV coverage must finally have gotten a stiff neck all the abrupt shifts to later in sick from exhaustion.

It was simply a hell of drama to witness from the couch and the question is if we ever get to experience something like that again, but most likely we will get you so.

Buckle

This competition is still made for such moments, and today it is once again.

The Ryder Cup is back in Scotland for just the second time ever, and one of those who get the pleasure of setting fire to the emotional fireworks and are now named Henrik Stenson.

The Swede, along with Justin Rose had the great trust contract to play in the very first ball and then open the tournament on behalf of Europe, and aims to bring the glory (and the press) in some sort of context, it can be out of place to point out that 50 000 spectators today are expected to track and that almost all they will want to look at when the race begins in earnest.

sports world will simply stand still for a second and Stenson will then be at its center.

Since the world’s funniest competition started in earnest, and then it’s just to sit on the couch, fasten your seatbelts and come along.

suggestion has then already filled their cooler and thermos of coffee, because there will not be time to do it later. Television drama is simply not better than this.
