Pros endorse Bethpage Black for Ryder Cup

Phil Mickelson has a big idea for the Black Course. "The people here are incredible, and I just keep thinking that this is like the ideal spot to hold the Ryder Cup," he said Monday.

What a great idea that is... think of how loud that place would be when cheering the US against the world?

[Mike Rogers]

what a waste of land...they need to shut down the park and put up some industrial buildings to help the tax base here on Long Island. The average guy cannot survive here due to taxes and these idiots chase a ball around the woods. Will the last guy out turn out the lights.

Bethpage State Park was/is there LONG before LI became over-populated and was corrupted by politicians and umpteen thousand school districts. Don't like it, MOVE

I just got rid of my hangover. Bring on the Ryder Cup!!!

This figures... this is one of the few times that Long Islander have something to be proud of, and people have to bash it. You would probably root for EU in the Ryder Cup too.

Long Island has Belmont, and now Bethpage Black...and to get the Ryder Cup here would be awesome. Quack Quack!
