2009 Solheim Cup

photo credit: Ted Van Pelt   The 2009 Solheim cup was like a breath of fresh air.  Unlike the PGA Tour robots that are seen weekly in PGA events, the lady golfers behaved like real human beings.  There was jumping, yelling, screaming, crying and everything else that denotes live human behavior (please excuse my facetiousness).  They weren’t afraid just to be themselves.

There was plenty of interaction with the crowd which was also refreshing to see.  Besides all the hoopla they showed golf fans everywhere  that, yes, they really were terrific shot-makers.  They made it exciting and a joy to watch.  Perhaps PGA Tour players will take note and come out from behind all the foolish fist pumps and facial contortions.  When did just “being yourself” go out of style?
