MISSION STATEMENT
Neuse Ryder Cup Mission Statement
The Annual Neuse Ryder Cup golf matches were established in 2001 to create a unique and memorable golf experience for our participants based on a few simple premises; respect, fellowship and enjoyment; rivalry and pride; North vs. South.
The Mission of the Neuse Ryder Cup Non-Profit organization is to create long-term value for the Clayton Community and our participants through the fundraising efforts of our players, volunteers and sponsors. Specifically, the Neuse Ryder Cup supports our local community by:
- Funding scholarships for well-rounded and deserving Clayton High School seniors
- Funding the Derrick Smith Memorial Scholarship for a deserving Clayton High School senior who will be attending a 2 year Technical or Community College
- 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

North
The Captain: Ken "Precious" Deutsch
Assistant Captains: Mark Doering, David Troy
Education: Graduate of North Carolina State University
Family: Wife Karen, son’s Trey (9) & Harrison (7), and daughter Mallory (1)
Favorite Ryder Cup Moment: It was 2008 and I was playing singles against Tracy Coats in the final group. Having shanked just about every shot the first 5 holes (at least 10 over and 5 down) my partner Dave Troy kindly reminded me we weren’t playing stroke play and I could make a comeback (he later said I had to say something positive). Long story short I closed him out on the 17th hole! YOU CAN’T BEAT THE GALLERY ON THE FINAL HOLES!!!
I want to thank my Asst. Captains Mark Doering and Dave Troy in advance for all the help I expect they’ll be in delivering a decisive blow to our, “Do I hear banjo music?”, competition!
GO NORTH!!!
