New York fans promise to be noisy and proud of the Bethpage Ryder Cup

FARMINGDAL, NY – New York sports enthusiasts were so famous for something to celebrate that they poured by the Madison Square Garden on the streets and gritted the city’s traffic in May, all because the Knicks simply left the second round of the NBA playoffs.

They are already resigned to the giants and jets that are bad, aware that Yankees and Mets may not be good enough. They need a team to apply their hopes.

The United States team playing in the Ryder Cup in Bethpage Black, a place revered by the locals in ways that no arena could ever, could be. The Americans could also exchange their reds, white and blue with Yankee gessary, because their support arrives in New York style: noisy, loyal and liqueur.

“There will be no lack of alcohol consumption,” said the United States Player Ben Griffin. “Fans will be noisy. New York people love their sports.”

New York sports fans continue to wait for the victories

The New York teams have iconic moments of the championship like Joe Namath who guarantees the victory in the Super Bowl in 1969 and Willis Reed bent to the field to play 7 of the NBA finals a year later, but the Jets and Knicks did not win from those boys were in the team.

The fans cried in the stands of MSG when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup in 1994, ending an end to a 54 -year -old drought. Now they are working on another of the 31 years old and count.

Even the Yankees do not win as once, with only two World Series titles in the 2000s – and one arrived against the mets, so a part of the New Yorkers hated everything.

It can also surprise long -standing New York fans if they can continue to support there. John Mcenroe asked why he did not change alliances after seeing the Showtime Lakers when he lived in California and made friends with the manager of the team Jeanie Buss, but the tennis player of the Hall of Fame has never been able to abandon the Knicks.

So it remains a normal at the Madison Square Garden with Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and all the other fans who come to cheer for their Knicks. (Well, usually joy.)

“Listen, I have been in all these arenas. If things are going badly in Indian, fans of the Indiana will try to collect their team. Knicks fans will make their team whistle,” said Stan Van Gundy, a coach and broadcaster of the NBA, whose brother Jeff, trained the Knicks at their most recent final appearance of the NBA in 1999.

True, New Yorkers sometimes struggle to hide their disappointment. The fans of the giants could not, whistled throughout their home on Sunday, and some fans of jets wore paper bags above the head at the Metlife Stadium last year.

But when things are fine, players say that no place is confronted.

“Everything is intensified, everything is better here,” said the Knicks Josh Hart. “With all respect for other places I played, New York is Mecca and when you have people who really wear their hearts on the sleeves and go out there and they are really passionate about sporting events of their teams, they come to show love and that energy is what makes you feel that difference.”

Some fans have already started, whistling strong on Tuesday morning while their shuttle bus passed the blue and yellow coach of the European team.

Take an in -depth look at the Host of this year’s Ryder Cup, the Black Course in Bethpage State Park of Farmingale, New York.

Bethpage Black is difficult, just like things like New Yorkers

Bethpage Black is the public course that New Yorkers arrive a day before and sleep in their cars during the night to have the opportunity to play. It is not one of those hotel resort courses that people play on vacation where there are no problems if they don’t guide him behind a palm tree. Black is long and is difficult. The arms unfolds painful and the legs feel tired. It hurts how to play against Lawrence Taylor’s giants.

But it is difficult how New Yorkers want things.

“Everything we do, grind. We grind every day. It’s so New York,” said David Caleca, president of the Bonnie Brriar Country Club in the nearby County of Westchester.

In addition to playing Bethpage, Caleca was there when the New York fans exchanged Sergio Garcia during the US Open in 2002. It was also at the Shea Stadium when the fan whistled their Mets players, so he knows that emotions can oscillate in a minute in New York.

He thinks that the US team will receive enormous support not only because it is Bethpage but because of Captain Keegan Bradley, who is a new Englander but has played collectively in St. John’s and shows the passion of someone who must be from Brooklyn or the Bronx.

“It is the type of boy that New Yorkers love because he wears his emotions for everyone,” said Caleca.

Some fans may be encouraged both for the course and Bradley’s team. He knows how the New York feel about Bethpage, a place where they learned the game from their fathers or spent Summers Caddy.

“It’s much more than a golf course for many of these people,” said Bradley. “When you add all these things, you will get fiery fans.”
