Not everyone on the losing Yank side has recovered from an emotional Ryder Cup hangover. For that matter, a few of the winning Euros still may be sleeping off their well-documented and well-fueled celebration.
So give American captain Davis Love III props for showing up in Las Vegas last week, making the cut and not making any excuses for Medinah.
Meanwhile, keep an eye on Denmark’s 22-year-old Thorbjorn Olesen, runner-up to South African Branden Grace in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St. Andrews on Sunday. Olesen should not be considered a surprise if he lands a spot on the Euro Ryder Cup team in 2014.
For his part, the ascendant Grace, a four-time winner in Europe this year, almost certainly will earn a berth on the International side in next year’s Presidents Cup at Muirfield Village.
Speaking of St. Andrews, on the other side of the Firth of Forth in East Lothian, you will find a cornucopia of terrific golf and more than a wee bit of Scottish history and hospitality. To learn more, read Mike Purkey’s cover travel package in this week’s Post.
Meanwhile, the golf gods surely were winking amongst themselves Sunday out on the Champions Tour in North Carolina where German Bernhard Langer won a week after fellow German Martin Kaymer drained the six-footer that clinched the Ryder Cup.
Finally in Las Vegas, American Ryan Moore’s victory was the second in a career that looks like it’s finally ready to happen. One day maybe he, too, will get to test the boiling waters of the Ryder Cup cauldron.
A Letter from the Publisher
On behalf of the team that publishes GlobalGolfPost each week, I want to thank you for your support. It means a great deal to us that you take time each week to read our weekly golf news publication.
When we launched just 16 months ago, our goal was to deliver golf news, information and analysis to serious golfers around the world. And we were then, as we are now, determined to take advantage of all that the digital platform has available. Your response has been overwhelmingly supportive, and we appreciate that very much.
From the beginning, the journalism side of our enterprise clicked, quickly. Having such esteemed golf writers like Lewine Mair, Paul Mahoney, Dermot Gilleece and John Hopkins join us made it easy to deliver the kind of golf content you want.
And now the business side of our enterprise is starting to work well, which usually happens if you get the content right. But here's where I want to ask for your help:
I'd like you to tell all your golf friends about us. Perhaps talk up the Post at your golf course. Get your regular foursome to sign up for a free subscription. Perhaps even send an e-mail to all your golf pals and encourage them to give us a try.
The key to our success now is to grow our audience of serious golfers throughout the UK. I hope you will take a moment to help us continue to grow and delight you.
