Spieth deserved the captains pick so it's good to see him on the team. The US team looks pretty strong compared to the Internationals, but I hope we get to see some good matches between both teams. The international team hasn't really fared well.

Best Regards,
Ryan

Sadly true. :pound:

The most notable thing about the internationalsΒ is the relative absence of Asian players. When you compare to the women (where aΒ rest-of-the-world team would smoke both the US and Europe), the Asian menΒ just haven't shown up recently.

Must have been hard for Nick Price to leave Tim Clark out. They are good mates and Tim has been a good soldier in the Presidents Cup. But it was probably the right thing to do.

Stretch.

Saw this today, first of all, great call on Speith, guy has really been spot on. Team International: No Poulter, Westwood, Gramm, Rory, Garcia? That's surprising....

International is everyone except Europe and the U.S. Europe is Ryder Cup.

Agree, Spieth was a great pick. Β No Jim Furyk, his team competition streak ends at 15, dating back to '97 Ryder Cup

Also came across this, equipment breakdown. Β TaylorMade needs to spend more money, $100 million budget isn't cutting it :-P

Any word on whether Louis Oosthuizen will be ready to go- doesn't look like he has played in competition since withdrawing from The Open?

I hope Couples does some different groupings. I am sick of Tiger always being with a veteran. Give him someone younger and get him energized to want to be there and playing. I think Bradley really helped Phil game in the Ryder Cup. Plus I would like to see Dufner and Bradley together, they seem to be close freinds and wonder if Bradley could get some emotion out of Dufner.

US team is much more loaded, based on OWGR

US team, OWGR:
1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

Int'l team OWGR:
2, 18, 19, 20, 21, 29, 32, 35, 38, 50, 59, 70

Players play, tough players win!

That would be awesome but I know Keegan loves to be partnered with Phil.

Agree with the kudos on the Spieth pick. Question on Furyk's streak: has he historically performed well in team competitions? I only recently began following team competitions and my primary memories of Furyk are his chokes in the partner matches (with Tiger) and the recent singles match (at Medinah). Does anyone have info on his overall match record?

Did you Google "Furyk Ryder Cup record"? :whistle:

9-17-4

I should have asked someone else to do that for me. It almost killed me to do it.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Lol, point taken. Although the data seems to confirm my hunch, that Furyk has been a substandard Ryder Cup performer.

That said, he appears to have been light's out at the President's Cup (20 wins/10 losses/not sure how may pushes). Not sure what to attribute the discrepancy to.

    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on.Β πŸ˜‰ Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.Β  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seemΒ  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
