2010 Wellman Cup Results

Red Team Captain Frank Mejia congratulated by Black Team Captain Tom Clement after the final match between the two teams

Results of 2010 Wellman Cup — Pinehurst, NC. As was experienced the previous week by the US Ryder Cup Team arriving and playing on unknown turf – WALES – so too did the US BGA Wellman Cup players felt arriving and playing at hallowed Pinehurst NC. A very nice feeling. All players arrived Thursday evening, except Nighthawk Campbell showed up fashionably late (2 am), plus amidst the cocktails the Black Team bantering began calling the Red Team the “Pink Team”. It was all in fun, but wonder who would have last laugh! The courses are set, the format is locked in and the weather will be sunny and stunningly beautiful fall temps.

Format: Best Ball (Four Ball) – two – 2 man teams, all four balls in play. Lowest ball score for the hole will give that team’s ball a point. Move to next hole.

WELLMAN CUP DINNER: A quick shower and cocktails back that the hotel prepared everyone for the WELLMAN CUP SALUTE DINNER at the beautiful Ironwood Café & Inn under the huge Magnolia trees. It
was nicely lit with garden lights, a babbling water fountain, and my, my….young ladies in gowns and cocktail dresses dining all around us (some sort of local Homecoming event was at hand). Yep, it was heaven on earth as they say to have all that eye-candy
surrounding us! The food was exceptional, the drinks flowing and camaraderie was delightful. However, Black Team was uneasy with the task of rallying on Sunday, but they have some good players. Can there be a rally and upset Red Team’s sense of victory?
Let’s see what unfolded on Sunday.

October 10, Sunday – Southern Pines Country Club, designed by renowned Donald Ross (1906). Singles – Eight single matches, eight points on the table for the taking. This is the make or break
day for your team.
