SENIOR RYDER CUP
Gentlemen, our 2023 season has started and is going well. Hopefully you will find that it is a good year for you and your club. I want to point out that less than half of the monies we need to run the Senior Ryder Cup comes from our $15 per game dues. That is why we have sponsors. Many sponsors are available to us but only a few are able to provide cash. The rest provide products that we use to enhance our Playoffs and our Championships. Without these sponsors we could not run the Senior Ryder Cup at the standards that we are used to.
Sponsors expect a reasonable level of return for their products or monies and that is where you come in. Support them when you can, refer them to family and friends, try their products and ask your club pro shop and restaurant to carry their products. If you do that we will continue to be successful. Without the people we list below the Senior Ryder Cup would not exist. Should you have a contact or know of a company that might like to discuss sponsorship please contact us at the Senior Ryder Cup.
Thank you to all of our sponsors!

Feel free to contact him and mention you are a Senior Ryder Cup member. Liam plays out of Scarborough Golf and Country Club and is a huge supporter of the Senior Ryder Cup.
Callaway Golf
We don’t need to tell you about Callaway. They are probably the fastest growing golf brand and their new Paradym clubs are receiving rave reviews. One should also look closely at their golf balls. The Chrome Soft and variants are really, really good balls. Finally one of their most underrated products is their golf gloves. Good value. We cannot over emphasize how important Callaway is to us, and your support of Callaway is very important.

Walter Caesar
A Canadian made Caesar drink that is much better than the market leader makes. Try it! We highly recommend it. Hopefully your club will consider adding this to your bar, feel free to have them contact Joshua Linde (joshua@waltercaesar.com) and he will set them up. If you ask he might even send you a sample or two. I also hear they have a very good non-alcoholic Caesar! This really is a must for your club’s bar and your fridge at home!
Sleeman
Again there is no need to tell you about this company, they are very well known and respected. Their Clear 2.0 is a market leader and should be in your lineup of products at your club. They also have some other very good beers, my favourite is Honey Brown and of course their cream ale! Try them. Suggest your club contacts Brad Gamble at brad.gamble@sleemanbreweries.ca and he will send the local salesman to see them. Well worth making contact! The heat of the summer is coming and 2.0 is the best thirst quencher.
Tilley
Tilley is an iconic Canadian brand. There are none better! Whether you are golfing or vacationing on a Greek Island your Tilley should be with you.
