Presidents Cup baby! I still think its funny that the two teams are "USA" and "Rest of the World".

excluding europe ... hahaha ... which in this case amounts to australia, south korea, south africa and japan

Yeah, thats what they should put on the hats. Haha Team "Rest of the World except Europe". Soon it'll be Team "Southeastern United States" vs Team "South Korea, Northern Ireland and Italy".

I need recommendations on balls.

Really, really good balls.

It's a gift for a ball fanatic

I mean golf fan.

Gimme your recommendations on really good balls.

I'm serious, too. I'm heading out to buy some balls.

The gold standard of golf balls has been and always will be the Titleist Pro-V1. They can be pricey, but a golf fanatic will undoubtedly love them. I'm sure they'll be thrilled.

Thank you for your great advice on balls...

Balls in your mouth....balls in your mouth...don't swim in the ocean, you'll get balls in your mouth...

i think the internationals are done ... this competition is all about which golfers are more mentally tough and with a bunch of rookies on the int'l squad - they are toast i think ... granted i didn't watch the entire round - it seemed like the int'l squad was just giving it away with bad shot after bad shot ...

as for tiger ... it's tough cuz stricker is probably playing the weakest right now just coming off injury ...

Stricker was definitely the weaker player yesterday looks like tiger is paired up with dj today against badds and day.

they say on a scale of 1 to 10 for pressure with the Ryder cup being a 10 ... the Presidents Cup is a 5 ...

i think that is the case for the americans for sure ... for international, it's probably an 8 and for the rookies a 10 ...
