The glorious Ryder Cup is just upon us with merely two weeks left. The showdown is expected to be as epic as one could imagine, with the world’s 24 best golfers going up against each other in grand fashion for the highly coveted title.
In the pursuit of national glory, both European and American teams are doing their best and putting their best foot forward. The teams are sharing glimpses of their practice sessions, and everything else that is going on behind the curtains. The European squad’s recent ‘gladiator’ vibe post left the fans a bit intrigued.

Just like the American team made their way to Rome for their scouting trip, the European team did the same as per the schedule. The American squad enjoyed their practice trip thoroughly but faced an issue with a particular chunk of thick rough on the course.
Luke Donald with his European squad is currently on the scouting trip to Marco Simone and is making the most of it. They are studying the course, and learning every little detail about it. What caught the captain’s eye particularly was the entry path to the first tee on the course.
The team’s official Twitter page shared a walk-down video that a golfer has to go through in order to reach the first tee, and it gave the complete vibe of a gladiator entering a colosseum. It started off with the cameraman walking down the stairs, walking on a rugged path to reach the beautiful luscious greens, or in this case, the Warfield.

The view upon entering the course as was magnificent as it could be with a Roman aesthetic to it. The pathway to that was also a great ordeal, but it did not give a golf vibe to the fans! It reminded the spectators of a revered Rome theme. Upon seeing the video, fans were curious and wished luck to the European squad.

What happens?
Feel like Captain Luke should address this?

Another golf fan had a pretty decent idea to make this walk-down even more epic.
