[quote=Anonymous]Ryder Cup is a 3 day event BUT -- it is basically a week long and people will be on the course every day as the players do practice rounds.

The issue with any golf tournament for a spectator is do you remain in one place and see everyone at that location play through, or do you follow particular players, but then not get a great view as people will obviously be at the prime spots already.  Or -- can you do both?  My personal approach was to get a seat at a not quite so important/favorite Par 3 hole early on the course.  Watch everyone play through that hole, and then walk along and jump into holes.  If you do not have assigned seats then you are basically setting up for the day at a later hole, and you still have to get there pretty early to get a seat -- then wait a couple of hours until the players start coming through.

The rounds of Ryder Cup are (1) Four players -- two each team playing "best ball".  The player who gets the best score on a given hole wins the hole for his team.  So -- basically everyone is going for birdies/eagles.  The second round is again a four some with 2 from each team playing alternate shots.  The players (or their team captain) decide which will tee off from hole 1 and then they alternate teeing off from there.  They also alternate shots on each hole.  The third day is the standard 1v1 match play format.

Any of the days are fun to watch, and the pre-play days are typically crowded but more fun if you want to walk around as the players are obviously more relaxed.
