South dominates North to go 5-5 in the series, South Captain Daniel Burrell retires with a perfect 2-0 record!
New Captains Ken Deutsch (North) and Bill McCrickard (South) will take over in 2011 with the series all tied through ten years of competition!
Our goals for the tournament are the same as ever, we remain committed to raising money each year and donating the money to Clayton community in the following ways:
- Funding scholarships for well-rounded and deserving Clayton High School seniors who will be attending a 2 or 4 year University in the fall of 2010
- Funding the Derrick Smith Memorial Ryder Cup Scholarship for a deserving Clayton High School senior who will be attending a 2 year Technical or Community College in the fall of 2010
- Rewarding outstanding Clayton teachers and their assistants who consistently demonstrate a passion for education and a commitment to enriching the minds of our youth
- Supporting the development of Junior Golf in the Clayton community
We have raised over $110,000 since the tournament started!!!!
Below are the specifics for this year.
- Everyone will be required to pay the deposit of $125 for the tournament. This will cover breakfast two days, lunch three days, dinner two nights (including Friday’s dinner with spouses), as well as other expenses necessary to run the tournament like having extra carts on hand. Carts/greens fees are separate.
- We will have 48 players on each side. We will have a waiting list for players that each Captain will maintain. The Captains are responsible for selecting their own teams, and will be sending out invitations in early January each year. Their Assistant Captains will be responsible for verifying handicap information.
- Everyone will be required to raise a minimum of $100 in 2010. We will raise money by two methods this year, either by selling $25 raffle tickets and/or selling $200 tee sponsors.
Checks need to be made out to TRIANGLE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION for both raffle tickets and tee sponsors. Checks need to be mailed to:
NSTAR Global Services
c/o Finance Dept
104 State Avenue
Suite 103
Clayton, NC 27520
* Cash will also be accepted for Raffle tickets. If you want a tax receipt then checks must be written.
Your initial deposit checks to play in the Ryder Cup for $125 needs to be made out to NSTAR Global Services and mailed to the address above by February 15, 2010
- We will be issuing raffle tickets in February to everyone. The scholarship committee will be putting out information for tee sponsors in January as well. Last year we awarded a first place raffle prize of $3000.
- We are going to be having the raffle drawing on Friday night at the spouse dinner, and we are also looking for items to be donated so that we can give them out as additional prizes at the raffle, similar to what we did last year. This is strictly voluntary but if anyone has items to donate for the raffle, Gene Greer will be heading that event up again this year. You will have the opportunity to buy tickets Ryder Cup weekend as well.
- The grand prize winner will be able to choose from one of the following when they win…sell a ton of raffle tickets!!
- $2500 gift certificate to Expedia.com for vacation travel
- $2500 Visa Gift Certificate for shopping

- Ticket and travel package to a major sporting event such as the Masters, the Super Bowl, NCAA’s, Daytona 500 up to $2500
- $2500 gift certificate to Lowes or Home Depot for home improvements
- $2500 in a check made out to Randy Nelson (just checking to see if you were actually reading this!)
- The raffle prizes will be nice, I will tell you that! In order to reward those of us who sell more tickets/sponsorships, you will be given extra entries in the raffle in accordance with the following:
- $300 sold - 1 extra raffle entry for a total of 4
- $500 sold - 2 extra raffle entries for a total of 7
- $800 sold - 4 extra raffle entries for a total of 12
- $1000 sold - 6 extra raffle entries for a total of 16
For every $100 sold by anyone, regardless of whether it is a raffle or tee sponsor, you will be credited with one entry into the raffle (as an example, you sell a tee sponsor for $100, you get one entry in your name into the raffle). Obviously the person who bought the raffle ticket will get an entry as well.

Favorite Ryder Cup Moment(s): It was my 55th birthday and first Ryder Cup Sunday match. Emay was my playing partner and psychiatrist of the day. I closed out Tynes and EMay beat Bradshaw on the 7th hole in front of the crowd in two of the last matches of the day. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Ryder Cup Prediction: North 64.5 - South 55.5
