hahaha, I share your pain on that some weeks.

To be honest I think Luke Donald will turn it around before Westwood does.

I also wonder what will happen to Poulter and the Ryder Cup team if he continues with this foul play.

Poulter had a strong finish to last year, I don't think he is in a long term slump like Donald or Westwood.

But lets face it he could miss all the cuts between now and September and he'd still get a captain's pick and he'd still be the most feared player on the European team.

How would you do it?

To award less points, you'd be saying that they finished significantly lower in a tournament than they "did." Should winning two matches be the equivalent of making the cut in a regular PGA Tour event?


I don't have THE answer - but to award T33 points for playing one match play round and losing, and T17 points for winning one match seems to me like getting candy on Halloween. Those points are worth money - as in getting invites to future WGC events, and majors.

Rickie is a great example - placed 3rd and jumped from 56 to 38, more points than a 4th in a major & locking him into the next WGC Doral in a couple of weeks

And using Spieth as another example - he won 3 matches and gets more points for that than for T4 at AT&T; Pebble.

I just seems "generous" to me....but then I think these events should be called the "Rich getting Richer".

Players play, tough players win!

    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.  
    • Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?
