The end of schmaltz is nigh. The relentless packaging zyhaa105 of golf Customized Redskins Jerseys as a great American parable, a bastion of protocols and manners, is about to run into an Ian Poulter fist-pump.The American viewer would be hard pressed to tell the Ryder Cup apart from an episode of Downton Abbey such is the coded emphasis on values and deportment, topped by an Omega TV ad that features Davis Love III reading portentously from his own book about his dreams of one day becoming captain of the Ryder Cup team.
