Ryder Cup Hangover

[hg]

No....I think that the Olympics should be strictly for amateurs...but that has all changed and will never return to its purest form. By allowing professional players to participate in the various sports has in my opinion changed the intent of the Olympics. The Americans have to use its professional players in some sports in order to compete with other countries who subsidize & groom their athletes from an early age.

I think we will start splitting hairs on whether the Ryder Cup players are paid or not to participate since neither side pays for their own expenses for travel, lodging and meals etc. We can only debate about the level of compensation on each side.
