2009 Participant - Steve Riddick

The Committee is proud to introduce 2009 Pineapple Cup participant Steve Riddick. Steve resides in Atlanta, GA, though you’ll still hear him talk a lot about Raleigh! Steve captained a winning side in 2008 and compiled a 1-1-1 four-ball record and a 1-2 singles record. Most importantly, he won a sudden death captains playoff on Sunday in 2008.

Steve graduated from Wake Forest University in 2004. Growing up, he only played enough golf to get in front of a few country club members’ daughters. During the 2007 Pineapple Cup, he had the round of his life going at Grande Dunes (Members) until a four slap on the last green derailed it.

While you wouldn’t guess it watching him swing the club, Steve will likely be the highest handicapper in the field. Don’t let that fool you, though. When he is playing well, he easily plays many strokes below his handicap and is very dangerous match play opponent. As reported upon earlier in the year, Steve has refocused himself on his game in the last few months. Expect him to be an important member of his team.
