 Ryder Cup X – April 30 – May 2, 2010
The Rules
Playing for pride can do amazing things to grown men, and the Ryder Cup has certainly shown that! We have a fantastic time during the event, and the real winners are always the CHS students who receive the scholarships. A lot of hard work goes into the planning of this event, and from the beginning it has had it’s own personality, different than any other event you play in during the year. Where else can you have the Neuse Club Champion cheering loudly for his teammate, a 32 handicap to win his match because it counts as the same point as his own if he wins? This is an event where everybody counts the same, and the rules have been set up to protect the true meaning of the event…playing for pride but having a great time doing so.
Break these rules and you are out forever (truthfully).
- Get along with everyone, it just isn’t that serious and we are doing this for charity
- We don't care what you shot for your round so don’t tell us…this is match play and you either win a point or tie or lose for your team, not yourself. Nobody wants to hear what you shot because it just doesn’t matter, this is a team event. You won, high five your teammates and root for the people still playing, you lost or tied, do the same, don’t explain to us that you played well and shot a good score…we simply don’t care…that is for the other 51 weeks you play golf for money at the Neuse
- Be nice to the cart ladies or you’re out
- Tipping the cart ladies is encouraged, all proceeds are donated back to the Ryder Cup Scholarships…last years take for the ladies was over $1000
- No match will be won a technicality, only with a golf club
- Move the ball in the fairway, not in the rough
- If you are a prick, kick yourself out before we have to. If for some reason you don’t know you are a prick, this is just the group to enlighten you, you are soon to be out and you just found out what a prick you are…sorry about that but you just had a very bad day
- Have fun, if you are too serious, you will be out…try smiling, it is contagious
- Bitching about handicaps will get you kicked out, quickly. The Ryder Cup is always close…get over it…you played like crap and lost your match, it wasn’t your handicaps fault, it was yours…we don’t want to hear about your shortcomings anymore!
- Not having an established verifiable handicap will assure you never get in to start with…remember you are playing against your friends and they know what you shoot and they won’t hesitate to shoot you if you lie. Did I mention, we absolutely hate Sandbaggers, newcomers, want to revisit that handicap you gave us???
- If you can’t play for the entire weekend, you are out. If you suddenly can’t play for one round, your team loses the point, no ifs ands or buts, we all get tired together for the next 4 days
- Everybody comes out Thursday night to the Neuse it is a ritual, if you are not here your butt better be making money somewhere in the world & then donating it some of it to CHS!
- Expect more rules to be drawn up when you do something incredibly stupid, trust me it has happened before
- Each year we rotate who gets to vomit coming down 18 for the win…practice putting without the ability to spit…it just might help you on Sunday as 95 people watch you make that putt
- EVERY player(48 on a side this year) WILL be at the ceremony at the end of the day, and everyone will go through the lines congratulating each other after the last match has been decided. This is like School-get a permission slip to miss the end or you will never come back…better yet, change whatever else you have scheduled now…where else can you have more fun than at the end of our Cup matches.
- If you find something to bitch about, like the weather, the pairings, the fact that you played with the same person twice, the fact that you went 0-4, that the dinner was not your perfect selection if you were the one choosing, the round was too slow, anything in general to bitch about, we recommend the following to soothe your aches:
- Welcome to the committee for the 2010 Ryder Cup. A man with as many helpful suggestions as you will be welcomed with open arms to help plan for a better event next year, and if this is asking too much for you to join a committee, then the present committee members have a suggestion for you, shut the hell up and pack your bags
- We suggest if you are still unhappy that you call the 82nd airborne division, they are probably somewhere in Iraq or Afghanistan right now. We apologize we don’t have the area code, but once you find it, here is all you have to do; send them an e-mail ahead of time and let them know your problems, I am almost positive they will lend a sympathetic ear, that is if it hasn’t been shot off already supporting our country so you are free to bitch about the weather during the Ryder Cup Tournament.
Now that we are clear, let’s make Ryder Cup X the best year yet

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
