...matter how that dispute plays out, the one-armed event will enhance next year's Ryder Cup by offering some of the most uncommon golf in the world. Any bold predictions from the Brits? "If I did that, I would get shot," says Guy. As for the Americans, no handicap will hinder their hubris. "We're going to set an example right away for the [American] PGA Tour guys," says Alan Gentry, the North American co-founder. "They're going to have no other choice but to follow suit."

This mixture of self-interest, pride, and kindness seems distinctively American, in the best tradition of a pushy, bold, but charitable people. With this national character, tipping is bound to continue and even expand. Many restaurants are now adding a mandatory service charge (sometimes up to 18 to 20 percent) to checks, and some consumers have even started tipping Starbucks baristas.
