Full Swing Captures the Most Emotional Phone Call in Golf
By Shane Bacon
3 mins read
The calls. That moment when the captain gives you a ring and lets you know if you’ll be a part of the most important team in golf or if you’ll be in a position that Keegan himself was in a couple of years ago.
But like preseason in the NFL or a draft in any of the big team sports, selection comes with emotion. And Keegan above all people understand how heavy that responsibility is.
My favorite moment of this episode involved Ben Griffin and his then-fiancé playing the waiting game for the captain call. Golf is a game where the answers truly are in the dirt. If you want to win a major championship, the path is pretty easy; just play better golf than everybody else in the field that week. If you want to qualify for a certain tournament or tour, you know the black and whiteness of what is needed to accomplish that. But making a Ryder Cup team? That is up to you as a golfer and the captain with his final decision.
