I hope you all enjoyed watching Europe retain the Ryder Cup last weekend in what proved to be a routine victory for the Europeans as the Americans struggled to find their form at Gleneagles. Europe cruised to victory on the third day after building a comfortable lead on the Saturday.
As you're aware we held a competition in the pro shop and a TaylorMade JetSpeed hybrid was on offer for the person that was drawn with the leading points scorer. The leading points scorer was our very on Justin Rose, and Bronwyn Henry managed to win herself the hybrid. The second leading scorer was Patrick Reed, and Danny Omer was lucky enough to win himself a Cleveland 588 wedge.
Congratulations to both Bronwyn and Danny and also to Team Europe for retaining the Ryder Cup!
