Last weekend we had the Gala. As always, the course was in fantastic condition and congratulations must go out to our winners. The winning team on Saturday was Tom Cherrill, Richard Beasley, Howard Coules and Mark Bowden with 96 points; Sunday's winners were Ken Cresswell, David Coley, Matthew Cresswell and Damian Coley with 90 points.
With just one month to go until this year's Ryder Cup, the European team is now confirmed. European captain Darren Clarke named his three Ryder Cup picks on Tuesday afternoon:
Martin Kaymer
Lee Westwood
Thomas Pieters
I suppose we could have picked Lee Westwood based on his past experience and his performance in the majors this year.
Could Clarke have done anything but pick Thomas Pieters after he requested to play with him in last week's Made in Denmark event where Pieters shot a first round 8-under-par and then went on to win the tournament? This came on the back of his 4th place finish at the Rio Olympic Games. Talk about form.
Martin Kaymer's selection, however, could be seen as the debatable one. However if you recall, he did hole the winning putt in 2012 and has valuable experience to offer.
So a mix of youth and experience seems to be the case here with six rookies on the European side. Let's hope we can look forward to some more great golf just as we saw at Medinah Country Club in 2012 when it was last in America.
