Yeah, it will take place in mid-October this year. About a month away. We'll have sixteen people going this year.

What did you like most in reading about it last year? I can tell you who has supplied goodies this year.

• Adidas is supplying hats and shirts.
• TaylorMade is sending us some balls.
• Green Friendly Golf has already sent belts.
• Guard Dog Watches is sending us some engraved belt watches (these are even cooler than last year's). They're not yet on the site...
• I hope to get some tees from Zero Friction like we did last year.
• Golf Gods is kicking in some magnetic ball markers and personalized money clips.

Our schedule looks something like this: [pre]Day Rounds Facility Format Fri, Oct. 13 2 Salem Glen Better Ball, Southern Point Sat, Oct. 14 2 Tanglewood# Better Ball, Vegas Sun, Oct. 15 1 Greensboro National Singles Matches # = two courses[/pre] As I said, 16 people - 8 on 8, Ryder Cup style, staff versus "the other team" .

I liked Koster personal recap to the cup as well as the normal recap of the tournament.

Who is the other team? golfwrx? <----Just came to my head....

As well I think it would be cool to have a break down of golf equipment at the Cup.

The other team is "others." Some former staff members, some Golf Gods folks, some friends, some people who filled in last year...

Jack Waddell may do a "Bag Drop" column on what people have in their bags, and Dave Koster may do something as well. I don't know... They'll see this thread. I'll point it out to them so they know something is expected. You should try to make next year's. We'll probably do 8-on-8 again.

Thanks!

I definitely plan on doing another writeup of the tournament. It's nothing really planned... just some observations from a numers point of view I may try and prep something ahead of time. Now there's a thought!

You bet I'm going to do a Bag Drop on the participants. Especially since I'm going to be counting clubs in the bags of the opposing Red team. Just think of me as the Newport Cup's equivalent of the Darrell Survey.

The Waddell Survey. I like it!

P.S. If any Red Teamers have more than 14 clubs, wait until the third hole to tell 'em.
