Hello golfers,

With just one month to go until this year's Ryder Cup, the team has now been confirmed. European Captain Darren Clarke's three Ryder Cup picks are Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood and 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 request he 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 fourth place finish at the Rio Olympic games.

However Martin Kaymer's selection could have been seen the one debatable one, but if you recall he did hole the winning put in 2012 and has valuable experience.

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.

 

Monday Open

Monday's Open winner was Simon Giles with 42 points, second was Sam Ingham with 41 points and Jake Barritt was third with 38 points.

 

The key to scoring better round the green....

Keep it low and let it roll, leave the lob wedge in the bag an use the 8 or 7-iron, treat it like a long putt and you won't be too far away from the hole. It's the percentage shot rather than throwing it up in the air and hoping it will spin and stop.
