N Ireland golfer Darren Clarke has given a timely reminder to Nick Faldo that he is after a Ryder Cup spot with victory at the KLM at the weekend.

With just one week to go before the teams are finalised and only the Johnnie Walker to go next weekend there are a few who will be sweating on Faldos preferances

Clarke himself, Poulter, Casey, and Kaymer seem to be fighting for the two wild cards.(assuming Monty has been dissregarded)

Id take Clarke and Kaymer, YOU?

Tough one, Darren Clarke played solid this week, but the year in general has been rather quiet, Ian Poulter deserves a pick, and is one of the few players with the cockyness and bottle required for a Ryder Cup style format, Martin Kaymer probably won't get the pick, I am hoping Monty won't get the pick, It's a tough choice between Casey and Clarke for me.

I personally hope for either hanson or wilson to drop out and Kaymer to get in automatically otherwise i doubt he'd get a pick. I think i'd probably go for Casey and Ross Fisher

I'd take Clarke and either Poulter or Casey. I might lean towards Casey, simply because I like him more than Poulter.

I can't see Kaymer getting a pick. Although I have not ruled him out completley.

Clarke has got to get in. He just has to. Period. Earlier this year I went to see the guy play at the portuguese open, and I tell you, that guy has to get in the ryder cup. He play as well as the winner, but had really bad breaks during his 4 rounds.

And the other, well, I'd pick Monty even though I don't like him at all, but he is unbeaten in singles matches and europe needs that. He's 1/2 point at least.

But, since Faldo's not stupid, I think he would choose between Casey, Kaymer, Kjeldsen and Mcginley

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
