Walker Cup

[jim8flog]

Found out today that our secretary's lad, Tom Plumb, has been selected for the team.
Great news.

I know how much he has put in to his game over the past few years to get to this position.

Looks like quite a few from the club are planning to go to Hoylake to support him and others.

Hi
i see Alex Fitzpatrick (Matt's brother) has also been selected.

Incidently, i noticed on HDID that Matt played in the Hallamshire GC Senior Cup last weekend - brilliant that he still plays there with his mates. Assume he was also at Bramall Lane on Sunday cheering on the Blades.

GB Team Captain, Craig Watson, is a member at our club. He's a really nice unassuming guy who sadly had to pull out of his 2017 Captaincy due to a family illness.
I wish him and the rest of the team all the best.

Yes.

There mum is all over the place as Alice is in Denmark this weekend or next week (I think that is where she said).

One of our members is Conor Gough's PE teacher and he's played the course a few times and his ball striking is absurdly good. However his brother is actually said to be even better

Within the county, Alex is reckoned to be better than Matt. He certainly out drives him.

Go Sandy, won his singles yesterday. great lad, hope he does well

If you said his putting stats were X better then I'd take notice.

 

[BrianM]

Watched the highlights this morning, these boys are excellent.
Course looks A1 as well.

What’s Tom Sloman like I believe he’s a member of Taunton and Pickeridge?

I do remember when Alex first came on the scene at Hallamshire there was talk that he could be better - will certainly have to reach some heights now to surpass his brother's achievements!

Don't like how GB & I stuck by the same players again in the foursomes and have overall lost the "series" to USA.

Going to be great viewing and pretty exciting in this afternoon's singles.

Looking like the US will retain the Cup - need a number of matches to have a dramatic turnaround

 

[rulefan]

Horribly hammered in the singles

Followed this online over the weekend.

Very impressed by the results yesterday and at one point GB&I were on track to have an even bigger lead.

Obviously the American's quality held up today when the pressure was on.

However great match today for Sandy Scott of Nairn, taking out the top amatuer Brandon Wu. Possibly a bit to do with Links knowledge, but hopefully one to watch for the future.

For his sake I really hope so but the vast majority of Walker Cup players seem to disappear after turning pro'.

Obviously some have made it but far fewer than you might expect.
