RYDER CUP AGAINST TABLE CREEK

This year’s Ryder Cup against Table Creek was another nail bitter. Lake Ridge lost Saturday mornings 2-man scramble 5-3. Table Creek then dominated the afternoon best ball winning 7-1  and taking 12–4 lead  after day one at Table Creek. The Lake Ridge boys fought back hard on Sunday winning the morning alternate shot 4.5 to 3.5 to cut into Table Creeks lead and then dominated the afternoon individuals matches11–5 only to fall short of taking back the plaque. Table Creek won 21.5 to 18.5. The series is now tied at 5-5 with Table Creek having now won 4 in a row. Win lose or draw, our boys played great and fought a good fight. This is a great competition and I look forward to doing it again next year and hopefully coming out on top. I also want to give another shout out to our grounds crew. The course looked great and the greens are the in the best shape I have ever seen them in. The boys from Table Creek all commented on how good our greens are. Please thank the grounds crew when you see them.
