Who knew? Corey’s a blogger!
On his most recent post Corey says he’s working over his ideas for pairings. And Monday, right on (marketing) schedule, he’ll begin sorting it all out:
Monday night, Sept. 6, my Assistant Captains and I will all get together, have a great dinner (with the exception of Jeff Sluman, who will hopefully be able to teleconference us from South Korea) and have a meeting of the minds to make the final determination of who will round out Team USA.
These picks will be very important for the 2010 United States Ryder Cup team so the evening may very well last into the wee hours. One thing I know for sure: This will be a very difficult evening.
If I may suggest, Captain Pavin, just go to GolfTripGenius.com and get started with our one-of-a-kind pairings engine. Then you and your assistants can start tweaking.

According to Golf360 this morning, Colin Montgomerie has made two critical, if not controversial choices for his Ryder Cup team.
Sergio Garcia has been named a vice-captain, Monty’s fourth, along with Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley. “There’s one word that describes Sergio Garcia, and that’s ‘passion.’ I think it’s a great asset to the European cause to regain the Ryder Cup to have him on board.” (Oh, brother.)
Also reported by Golf360, there will be Welsh representation on Team Europe as well. Apparently, Monty has named Rhys Davies his … driver?
“Rhys will become my personal buggy driver,” Montgomerie said. “He’ll look after me around the course. He is a Ryder Cup player of the future, the very near future, the guy with the million-dollar putting stroke.
“I felt it was important to have some Welsh representation on the golf course that week.”
Sorry, but I don’t know where to put the names of the vice-captains and the “buggy driver” on my Ryder Cup team roster in GolfTripGenius.com.
