Beard Power wins Ryder Cup for Europe
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that Beard Power has seen Europe win the Ryder Cup against a more clean shaven US team, in Italy on Sunday.
Europe sported some of the most impressive golfing beard in Fleetwood, Lowry and Rahm.
While most major sports including football, cricket and even tennis, have embraced the beard, golf has been much slower with some leading players even looking as if they shave between holes.
However the campaigners say that with leading players such as South Africa’s Eric Van Rooyen and Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood sporting full beards golf has at last embraced the hirsute.
Golfers are able to influence air currents and hence the direction and flight of a golf ball by tweaking the position of their beard before each shot.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, golf has struggled to accept in some cases that women should play on equal terms so perhaps it is no surprise that it’s also tended towards the pogonophobic. However the victory for Beard Power at the Ryder Cup underlines how important hirsuteness is to modern golf.
