This week, Team RSM is keeping busy – both on and off the course. Team RSM member Zach Johnson is in Indiana for the BMW Championship. Joining him at Crooked Stick Golf Club are past RSM Classic champions Chris Kirk (2013) and Kevin Kisner (2015). All teeing off from tee No. 1, Zach started the day at 10:03 a.m. ET; Kevin at 1:20 p.m.; and Chris is in the last group at 2:15 p.m. Best of luck to each of you this weekend!
Next week (Mon., Sept. 12),
Team RSM member Davis
Love III (who is not only host of The RSM Classic, but
Captain of the 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup) will name three of his four captains picks.
Following the TOUR Championship, Davis will render his decision on that coveted
final captain’s pick. So, we know he’ll be thinking about that a lot over the
weekend and the next couple of weeks! Who would you like to see join the team?

The
same year, fellow rookie Paul Lawrie was handed one of the most daunting tasks
in golf – hitting the nerve-wracking first tee shot at The Ryder Cup. Alongside
Colin Montgomerie in the opening foursomes, the Open Champion of the same year
put aside some incredible pressure to rifle his drive straight down the
fairway. “When I got on the tee I was as nervous as I’ve ever been,” said
Lawrie. “There were thousands around the tee, and then you know there are
millions of people watching on the telly. There have been so many shocking
shots that I was quite proud of myself. Mickelson missed the fairway by about
50 yards."
This year will be fellow European
Tour and Team RSM member Andy
Sullivan’s rookie year at the Ryder Cup. Maybe we’ll see his performance in
a similar future piece? Read

At Sea Island – home of The
RSM Classic – there have been some fun activities happening. Past RSM Classic
winners Ben Crane (2011)
and Robert Streb (2014)
played the Tin Cup Challenge. In case you’re not familiar with the Challenge,
it’s a bit of a mixture of baseball and golf, which involves the use of a
variety of tools, but no bats or putters. It’s quite comical, check out the
SKRATCH TV video below:
And Sea Island Life recently
ran an article about everyone’s favorite topic – food! The publication spoke
with several PGA TOUR professionals to see what their favorite food stops are
on the island. Check
out the article here. For our readers who’ve visited Sea Island, what’s
YOUR favorite spot to eat on the island? Never been? Be sure to read the
pros’ recommendations before you visit. There’s some “good eatin’” on the
island, and these fellas can give you the scoop!
Check back next week for the
latest developments related to Team RSM and the 2016 RSM Classic (Nov. 14-20)! It
promises to be another stellar event!
