So you have US vs Europeans, US vs Int'l. Just curious if Int'l vs Europeans was ever considered? Is there a market for it? 

 

Not sure. Since recently there's the EurAsia Cup (second edition somewhere early in the 2016 season). I don't think there will be a market for Int'l vs Europe when Europe already have two other competitions like that. Maybe when we get rid of the EurAsia Cup. That doesn't really do it for me, only reason I was interesed in watching it was because Luiten played in it. While the Ryder Cup always is a big interest for me.

I don't know how many people are following this, but it probably would have been helpful to include the names of the picks. Quote: On Tuesday, U.S. Presidents Cup

The Presidents Cup isn't treated with a quarter of the hype and importance that's placed on the Ryder Cup....and ironically, the US team is all the better for it.  The Prez is the 'friendly exhibition

What is the rallying cry for the International team? "LETS GO DEFEAT THOSE AMERICAN BASTARDS!!" or  "Lets win this one for the rest of the world, minus Europe!!"   I don't think talent is the issue fo

Too bad this isn't the Ryder Cup! USA coming out strong.

Because it isn't the Ryder Cup, America is coming out strong! ;)

With foursomes and teams like Mickelson/Zach and Spieth/DJ, I wonder how they settled on which ball to use and if their company pissed about it.

Zach is loyal to Titleist and Phil to Callaway. I bet they decided on Titleist.

Same with Spieth (Titleist) and DJ (Taylormade).

 I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if one of the companies legit made a ball that blends the characteristics of the two balls and got them something they both wanted haha, that's the level that these guys are taking it to!

I think they use which ever ball the player is sponsor by that tees off on each hole. So Titleist ball when Zach and Speith tees off and use Callaway when Phil tees off and Taylormade when Dustin tees off.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Pretty disappointed in the quality of the golf right now.  Especially the way it seems they're all butchering 14 today.  Same thing happened at 10 yesterday.

Soooo many really poor shots.  Pick it up guys!!!

Branden Grace winning his first two matches, he went 0-4-0 in his last Presidents Cup.

 

Today's first point goes to the International Team.

Can anyone explain how you can lose 2 points on one hole in team match play. I understand the rule but it seems like that was made for single match play not team.

Phil shares his thoughts on whether he cost his team a 1/2 point.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
