Ryder Cup Results
Match with Grand Island – Albany GA
May 18-19, 2013
Congratulations to “Team Southern Hills”
As you may know, 24 players from Southern Hills GC participated in a “Ryder Cup” type of match against Grand Island Golf Club from Albany GA.
On Saturday we hosted Grand Island here for 12 doubles matches using a Best Ball format. We were able to hand them a one-sided loss by besting them in 11 of the 12 matches.
On Sunday we traveled to Albany to take on 24 individual matches. Although the victory was not quite as one-sided as the doubles matches, the players did us proud by winning 15 matches and tying 3 for a total of 16.5 points our of a total of 24 points. Given the fact that we were new to that course, as most of the players had never seen it before, I think we did outstanding.
Players from Albany have already expressed much interest in challenging us again next year.
