Once again we have expanded the rosters.   We are now 18 per side.

Rob Grady and Juice are captains again.  They were captains the first year(1998) when we only had 6 per side.

My how things have changed.

The Blue team picked up some extra help in the off season as they welcomed Ryder Cup veteran Nate Nelson to the fold along with Rookie Jake Heumiller.    Joey Rotert is also back in the mix this year as he recovers from the scars of 2012.  They are hoping that these three can find the secret sauce to stop the streak of 4 for the Red.    Roly and Mitch have conflicts this year.

As always, the Red Team plays the hand they are dealt.   We will pick ourselves up by the bootstraps once more and try to will ourselves to 5 straight.   We did pick up Bruce Sabers since none of us own boots.    Zac and Jay split time last year and now they will be on their own.

We all look forward to what could be the greatest Salem Ryder Cup ever.

Will it be 5 in a row for RED or a long overdue victory for BLUE?

FIRST ROUND PAIRINGS WILL BE POSTED TO THE SITE FRIDAY.   www.salemrydercup17.com
