Solheim Cup Live Scoring Ticker: Hard To Find, Hard To Ignore

If I weren’t such an intrepid and ruthless internet sleuth, I’d have given up on finding Live Scoring for the Solheim Cup.

If you visit the PGA Tour website, you are bombarded by LIVE@ this and LIVE@ that. They simply beg you to watch live feeds of everyone and everything. The Ladies European Tour is a bit more coy, however. Go to the main Solheim Cup page and you’ll see nothing…you’re lucky to find the ENGLISH button. You have to click the 2007 Solheim Cup to get to the real deal. It’s somewhat hidden in the upper left menu column. It’s relatively easy from there, but click here if you want to find the scores. It’s a nail-biter, with both sides at 9.5 points, four matches at 1 Up or Even, and only two matches way gone (both at 4-Up, one for each side, where Laura Davies is hammering Brittany Lincicome, while Paula Creamer returns the favor to Maria Hjorth.) I do not believe that there is a live feed from Sweden on the web, but I’ll keep looking. Check back for an update. Sadly, it seems like another great match will go unnoticed in the USA and among my fellow bloggers.

These team competitions are great fun to watch but I think their importance is way over done. First, the format is such that it doesn't really measure anything. Second, it really doesn't have any effect on a players career despite the media trying to make it so. Third, events where professional athletes are intimidated into "playing for your country" for free is troubling to me. Although it will never happen in golf I admire certain NBA and MLB players that just blow these things off. What happens to all the money raised ? Tiger had a public relations problem for having the temerity to suggest the players ought to be able to make a charitable contribution with some of the proceeds.

Well, it's kind of like war without the weapons, injury or death. It is meant to claim a victor without harming the vanquished. I remember 1977, when Tom Weiskopf went hunting, rather than play the Ryder Cup. He caught a lot of grief, even in the pre-massive media age. I'd like to see Luke Glover or Hunter Mahan say to Jack, no thanks for the selecton, I'm going surfing. That would be a headline.

Yes, it would be a headline. But I'd rather see Tiger say that he is worn out from the grueling Fed-Ex Cup and will not be attending the President's Cup. And I would bet anyone that is exactly what he would do if he could. THAT would quickly change the economics and Finchem would have to buy some more TUMS.
