What you're missing by watching The Masters in the U.S....

[Antonio Veranos]

...is the European inferiority complex as regards American golf in full flower.
It's not in the minds of all Europeans, not by a long shot, but it's very
clearly in the minds of many, as exemplified by the pundits on Sky Sports.

Colin Montgomerie is on Sky Sports' broadcast, practically in joyful tears over
the idea of all three "American major titles" being held by Europeans at once.

The cheerleading is really quite pathetic, as is the way in which the major
tournaments have their names mangled to reflect the inferiority complex:

1. "The Open", by which they mean The British Open
2. "The U.S. Open", by which they mean The U.S. Open
3. "The American (or U.S.) Masters", by which they mean The Masters
4. "The American (or U.S.) PGA Championship, by which they mean The PGA
Championship.

So, so very precious... and sorta sad, I suppose.

Actually, it seems to me that it is not an "inferiority complex" at work

your inability to deal with it.

I don't care if a European wins an "American" championship. I want the best
golfer to win, and I don't care one bit where that person was born. I find it
to be quite pathetic that Sky Sports cares so desperately about the home
country of the winner... as long as it's a European, anyway. :P

No, you whine. Moaning is the number one British activity, followed closely by
queuing. And they like queuing, basically, 'cause they can then have a bloody
good moan about it while standing in the queue.

Oh, and only America? Hmmm....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Darts_Organisation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Snooker_Championship

Etc, etc.

The championship of Major League Baseball is the championship of that league in
particular, though it should be obvious to any person with a functioning brain
that the best team in Major League Baseball is the best team in baseball,
worldwide, period.

Nicaraguans, Australians, Guatamalans, Hondurans, Colombians,
Taiwanese, Philipinos, Vietnamese, Jamaicans, Indonesians, Bahamaians,

Just think of it like the Cricket World Cup. The two important
differences being that far more countries are involved in the battle
for the World Series and the inventors of the game, the Americans,
actually are good at the sport, unlike the inventors of cricket.

There are those who believe that name came from the New York World
newspaper that supposedly sponsored the series between the winners of
the two US baseball leagues of the time. Might make a nice Master's
thesis for someone doing graduate work in American sports. :-)

Possibly more persuasive, the 1890 Spalding Guide (a sports journal;
Spalding was/is a big name in sporting equipment) called for expansion
the two-league playoffs into a truly worldwide competition. However,
it would, I suppose, need to play without Japanese teams (their
baseball started later), and England would have had to choose between
cricket or rounders, perhaps.

That's how the World Almanac and Book Of Facts got its name, but I
don't think it applies to the Series.

Since Europe are the current Ryder Cup holders, the USGA and PGA (USA)
are in no position to argue.

Besides - no matter what the Europeans call events 2, 3, and 4, there
is something else they call them that they do not call the British or
European counterparts: "majors." (I'm surprised the European PGA
doesn't "request" that, when Europe has won the two previous Ryder
Cups, the European PGA be considered a fifth, if not the fourth
(replacing The Masters, which, after all, is invitationa), major.)

If Germany was going to annex England, they would have to have done it

full year away from joining the war at that stage, so, yes, that is
another piece of lunacy. I'm surprised Larry isn't peddling it.
As for the jingoism, add me to the Brits condemning this mindless crap.

You mean now that you've gotten into it with the "Open" and the Ryder
Cup efforts, you're ready to condemn it? :-)

You better say "The British Open, by which I mean The Open" :-)
"The Open" is the official title of that championship, organised by the
R&A:<http://www.randa.org/en/Championship-Golf.aspx>

There is no British Open although we are the superior race but only and
wonderfully the Open Championship of Golf which is the prize which all
good golfers wish to win.

Just so we understand.....the British race? Anyone who spouts this
jingoistic bullshit, from any country, should be neutered.

Having read a bit of the rubbish crossposting on this forum it is a
great shame that America was found and colonised - it would have been
better for everyone in the sensible world if it had been left to the
native and natural people.

Some idiotic Americans have suggested that we should've allowed
Germany to annex England too. Both statements are from loons.

If Germany was going to annex England, they would have to have done it
in 1940, during Operation Sea Lion. If I recall correctly, the US was a
full year away from joining the war at that stage, so, yes, that is
another piece of lunacy. I'm surprised Larry isn't peddling it.

Excuse me, but "The Open" was nothing to do with me. The Ryder Cup was
simply to slap Bertie down - you know how that goes. I think you have
the wrong poster, though.

Sure there is. And it's name is The Open.

Unruly bunch.
Don't forget that with Saint Peirre-et-Michelon and Clipperton Island,
new World Powers France have the U.S. surrounded.
