2007 Blue Tee Wannabe's vs. The Sod Busters

[press release]
APPLETON, WI -- September 8, 2006 - The Eagle Creek Sod Busters were victorious over the Chaska Blue Tee Wannabe's in Saturday's Second Annual "Ryder Cup" Style golf tournament at Mascoutin Golf Course in Berlin, WI. The Sod Busters earned the coveted travelling trophy by winning 12-8 in the 27 hole event.

Welcome to the Second annual Ryder Cup style competition between the Blue Tee Wannabe's (Monday Nights at Chaska) and The Sod Busters (Tuesday Nights at Eagle Creek). The date is set for Saturday, September 8th at 8:52 at Mascoutin golf course in Berlin. Check here to check out their website It will be $60.00 for golf which includes cart and golf for 27 holes. We will have 5 Groups, plus one for the Alternates. Since the handicaps within the Blue Team (BTWB's) and the Red Team (SodBusters) are relatively close between the matches, we are not planning on having handicaps come into play this year. We decided not to plan meals; you can eat at the turn and/or after during the awarding of the travelling trophy. Hopefully all of the guys on the teams have at least one golf shirt in their closet of the right color. For some team spirit, the guys on the Blue team will wear blue golf shirts and the guys on the Red team will wear Red golf shirts. We'll have a skins game for all 2-man teams that are interested in participating. $15 per man gets you in. $10 of that goes into the 2 man "team" nines and $5 goes into the last 9 for individual play. As for the format, each of the 9's will be different formats, all of which are Match Play this year. (An improvement over last year): The "Blue" (1st) nine will be a 2 man scramble in a match play format. The "Red" (2nd) nine will be a 2 man best ball in a match play format. The "White" (3rd) nine will be a single man match play within each group. Points will be awarded as follows: Blue nine - 1 point per 2 man team for most Match Points won, so a total of 5 points available for the entire Blue or Red Team. (i.e. if Dosch/Natrop scramble team wins 5 holes and their opponents on the red team have 4 holes, the Blue Team takes 1 point.) Red nine - Same as White nine, so a total of 5 points available for the entire Blue or Red Team. (i.e. if Meyer/Schwab's best ball team wins 6 holes and their opponents on the blue team have 3 holes, the Red team takes 1 point.) White nine - 1 point for each match, so a total of 10 points available for the entire Blue or Red Team. (i.e. if the Dosch/Meyer match results in Dosch winning 5 of the 4 holes in match play, Dosch earns a point for the Blue Team and if the Natrop/Schwab match results in a 4.5 and 4.5 tie, each of the guys earn 1/2 a point for their Blue and Red Teams.) **There is a total of 20 points available for this year's Ryder Cup. 5 + 5 + 10 = 20 Note: All of the guys listed below have committed. We're counting on you to be there! Let Andy or Paul know ASAP if something comes up and you can't play. Let's all check in between 8:15-8:30 so we can make sure we're all on the same page with how the format works. Call your Captain if you have any questions/concerns!
