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

    • I mean, that is what I figure would be the case.  My mind is just trying to wrap around the idea that 22" left = feet aiming like 15 yards left visually. It's like in a CADD system, if the flag is the base point when you scale an image, it stays in the same spot as you get closer (scale up) or get further away (scale down).  I can image how if you have a 10-yard chip, it could look much more like your feet are aimed nearly 22" left of the flag.  Now I want to try to make some measurements and quantify this 🤣.  Yes, they do. Yea, that is true. 
    • Closer to like 22" than 36. Why wouldn't the target line (ball) be at the target (flag) with your feet parallel left of that? Perception messes with a lot of people. Almost all righties tend to aim to the right, because what feels parallel left — particularly given that your eyes are "between" the ball and your feet — feel like they're pointed MILES left even when they're square. Also, there's no rule that you have to be parallel left of the target line. I like to be slightly open at setup.
    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree. 
    • Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i
    • I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.
