Here are the details:
Welcome to the Fourth 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 12th, 2008 at 8:10 at Mascoutin
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 7 Groups in the competition.
- We will work handicaps into the single man matches again this year. Our LeagueChief software calculates
handicaps based on our home course/tee we play each week. More importantly, it also calculates Indexes for each player, and
based on this Index, we can arrive at consistent handicaps based on a 119 slope. NOTE: It does not matter that some players
play white, and some blue in their own leagues. The Index is what gets us all to a common number for the handicap calculation out at Wander Springs.
- Like last year, each of the teams/matches won't be determined based on the sorting of the indexes. It will be up to the Captains to put together
the 2-man teams and matches. This makes for some good strategy.
- No meals are planned; 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.
Get the Money to Paul DeLange before we all start.
Note: If you sign up, you have to be committed. We're counting on you to be there! Let Andy Wittig 636-6770(c) or Paul DeLange (507)261-0297(c) know ASAP if something comes up and you can't play.
Let's all check in at 7:30 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!
As for the format:
Each of the 9's will be different formats, all of which are Match Play. This year, we all play the White Tees.
- The Red (1st) nine will be a 2 man scramble in a match play format. No Handicaps will be used.
- The White (2nd) nine will be a 2 man best ball in a match play format. No Handiaps will be used
- The Blue (3rd) nine will be a single man match play within each group. Handicaps will be used.
Points will be awarded as follows:
- Red nine - 1 point per 2 man team for most Match Points won, so a total of 7 points available for the entire Blue or Red Team.
(i.e. if Long/Dosch scramble team wins 5 holes and their opponents on the red team have 4 holes, the Blue Team takes 1 point.)
- White nine - Same as White nine, so a total of 7 points available for the entire Blue or Red Team.
(i.e. if Schwab/Houfek's best ball team wins 6 holes and their opponents on the blue team have 3 holes, the Red team takes 1 point.)
- Blue nine - 1 point for each individual match, so a total of 14 points available for the entire Blue or Red Team.
(i.e. if the Long vs Schwab match results in Long winning 5 of the 4 holes in match play, Long earns a point for the Blue Team and if
the Dosch vs Houfek 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.)
- NOTE: There are a total of 28 points available for this year's Ryder Cup. 7 + 7 + 14 = 28
