My league plays a Ryder Cup format with 1 day 1/2 way through the season and the second day on the last day of league with the winning team getting 40 bones each. Any ideas on how to break a tie if the teams are tied after the second day?

In the Ryder cup, the holder of the cup from the previous matches retains the cup if there is a tie. Other than that, each team pick one person and have a playoff match. That way everyone that played can follow and root for their team.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

would you play a full 18 playoff or just first player to win X number of holes (like maybe 2 or 3 holes)

In my bag:

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

If you want big pressure, then sudden death.

Hey guys - just bumping this in case anyone else can think of anything. We're thinking since the last day is 2-man best ball, we'll make every team post a score for each hole and do aggregate totals for all teams.

Instead of one player have three, one-on-one matches play sudden death. Thats how we do it in our Colonial Cup matches. It has not come to that since I have been playing, but it would be damn exciting.

What you do guys is if it looks like being a draw you get all your teamates, wives and girlfriends to run all over the green before your opponent has putted out.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By klineka ·

      On Saturday I played a short (~5900yds) but narrow course that has some quirky holes and very mature trees. Shot a 34-34 for a 68 on a par 71 which tied my lowest score relative to par at -3 (all time lowest round is a 67 on a par 70) and set my new record for most birdies in a round with 6.  That included a penalty stroke bogey on a par 5 and another sloppy bogey from 125 in the middle of the fairway. Hit a wedge from 110 to a foot on a par 4 and a knockdown flighted 9 iron from 140 to 2 feet on a par 3 for easy birdies. Add in driving it greenside on a par 4 and a couple tap in birdies on par 5s and it was a good day. Also helps that I made every putt inside 10 feet and only ended up with 27 putts for the round.  This is the SG compared to scratch and that includes losing 1.01 strokes approach on the 1st hole when I sliced a 5 iron into a hazard.

      Gotcha, yeah it's hard to tell from single aerial pictures what the rough is like. From that picture everything on the right just looks like traditional rough, not necessarily fescue. But that makes sense now.

      I mean maybe? Or maybe they just aren't playing frequently enough to stay super sharp.  Just because they don't put up good results doesn't mean they aren't trying/practicing.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Left is all lateral hazard, yea. Half the fairway slopes left towards it. You can kind of make out the mow line where the rough ends on the right and the fescue begins, which lines the entire hole. And now that the fescue is grown in, it’s just pure luck finding a ball in it. The hole plays narrower than it appears. I don’t mind hitting 7 iron or something into this green. It’s fairly large with a wide collection area short. And I’m apparently much better out of a fairway bunker than I give myself credit for. I think avoiding a big number is a much higher priority than trying to shoot a low one. It’s the #2 handicap hole on this nine.

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By dennyjones ·

      There are a couple of local courses that would qualify for US Open qualifiers.    The Flint Elks Club was used as a qualifier for the Buick Open back in the day and plays 6900+.  It can be challenging for elite golfers if they let the rough grow.   I believe Fred Couples has the course record at 63. The other course that could be used for a US qualifier is Sugarbush in Davison.  If they left the rough long it would challenge any golfer.  It plays 7283 from the tips with a rating of 75.9 / 147.  It was voted one of the best public courses in Michigan recently.
