Hello golfers,
The USA Ryder Cup Captain Davis Love III has announced three of his four wildcard picks for this year's encounter at Hazeltine this week. Love has selected Rickie Fowler, J.B Holmes and Olympic Bronze medallist Matt Kuchar - leaving one spot left. Rumour is rife that two time Masters winner Bubba Watson is unlikely to get the final picking leaving the door open for potentially another rookie on the American team. Many have suggested that Tiger Woods's announcement that he is to return to competitive golf could see him tee it up at Hazeltine, although you'd be a brave man to pick him after more than a year away from the game.
Congratulations go to Scott Mutter who the Woodcote Park Scratch Open last week after two fine rounds of 71 and 73. His level par 36 hole total of 144 was good enough for a four shot victory, well played Scott.
Please note that there will be no evening suppers available after next week's Wednesday Evening Stableford due to the Club Match against Tyrells Wood. The golf competition will however run as usual and will be the last one of the season, so make the most of the Indian summer we are currently experiencing.
A quick reminder of the society booking that is utilising a shotgun start tomorrow morning meaning the course will be closed until approximately 2pm.
Kind Regards,
Paul Schunter
Director of Golf & Operations
