The current Ryder Cup reminds me of seeing it live in 2014 in Gleneagles, Scotland, UK. There, I witnessed about 10 USA supporters, lined up, all in Stars and Stripes kilts. It was a fabulous sight to see!
If I can get a recovered photo from my dead phone, I shall try to post it.

I wish you luck with that Ray and "I mean that most sincerely" (Hughie Green, sleaze ball extraordinaire)
Those dudes were probably of some remote Scots heritage and blissfully unaware of the ancestors who were heaping curses on their heads.
There is an awful lot of scope for fun with shots like that but I also wonder if any of those 10 bravehearts graduated to wearing bona fide honest to goodness skirts?
Ah, but nice to dream it is!
Steve.
PS Thanks, on a low day, that's a welcome diversion.

As a North American, now anyway, I find some truth in the description of the kilt as: a type of skirt worn by soldiers in Scotland and men of Scottish descent living in north America, as well as American tourists visiting Scotland. But hardly ever by scots.

G'day all... I love my golf ...actually President of our local 9 green /18 tees course with about 110 members ...Did get to 5 handicap once but now on 14.. The Ryder Cup would be AMAZING to go to despite me being Australian with no links to either team ..Watched a lot of the event but missed the kilts being worn . However what I did see was the behavior of some of the American (so called golf fans) was reprehensible to say the least..Once swings are deliberately interrupted by yelling and swearing it's crossed the line.
Golf prides itself on being respectful and cheating is an absolute no no . At least the European team weren't robbed of a well deserved victory by these antics... The golf itself by both teams was incredible as was Bethpage Black course. However the awful minority of US fans ruined it ..
