9-28-23 Ben Nelson (Full): Officiating the Ryder Cup

Former Ryder Cup official and Owner of Ben Nelson Golf and Outdoors, Ben Nelson, joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line talking about his experiences in the giant golf event live in the BankPlus Studio. Ben talks about how he has officiated three Ryder Cups and how he doesn't have the best record of Americans winning while he's there. Bo asks Ben if the Ryder Cup means more to the Europeans and Ben talks about how having that experience on your resume in Europe is one of the most important things. Ben tells a story about how he was working the Ryder Cup in 1987 and emotions between caddy's led into a fist fight on the golf course. Ben mentions how something like that wouldn't happen today and how the Europeans still won the cup that year. Bent alks about how both Americans and Europeans heckle the other team but how the USA team will be outnumbered this weekend. Ben talks about how surprised he was and is that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were never stars in the Ryder Cup like people expected them to be.
