News that will Update Golfers on Ryder Cup 2014

The 2014 edition of the extremely popular Ryder Cup will be competed the last week in September. It will actually return to its origins, as it could be argued that the birth for the Ryder Cup was at Gleneagles in Scotland within June 1921. At that time a competition was organized prior to the British Open that year between 12 Americans along with a team with 12 British golfers. This wonderful tournament has taken on the life of its very own, particularly since the British team had been joined by players throughout Europe. Ever since then competition has been intense.

From the time that those European golfers joined the event they now have nine titles with seven with the Americans. It is not only this closeness with results but the reality that pretty much every occasion these squads square off, which happens to be every other year, the outcomes are not decided to the end of the final day. Being at this tournament in Wales in 2010 I understand the competition, however it is still a respected rivalry.

The latest Ryder Cup returns to Scotland, the actual origin of the game of golf, for the first time since 1973, and only for the second time in the history of the competition. Because Europe only will be the home side for the cup every four years and now the entire continent is open to host, just one country no longer is going to be taking over as being a host of the Ryder Cup. Being in Scotland is going to impart intriguing problems, especially with it being so late during the summer.

But it may come as a surprise that in this portion of Scotland September is actually their warmest month in their year normally, if only by just a bit. After October it does plummet very quickly and it will become rather rainy as well. But actually September in Scotland you cannot hit upon a lot better weather with regards to temperature along with precipitation. The wind, on the other hand is always going to be a major issue in Scotland, and that aspect of the elements probably has effects on players more than any.

Gleneagles location will be by bus from Edinburgh around an hour and fifteen minutes northwest of this outstanding city. The course by definition isn't a links golf course, being situated way inland, but it is definitely going to be extremely hilly. Actually there are four different courses on the complex; however the matches are going to be played out on the PGA Centenary course. It is a Jack Nicklaus created golf course, and the terrain Nicklaus portrayed that he created the course on was "the finest parcel of land in the world I have ever been given to work with".
