  Thank you very much Jeff for all the time and effort you are putting into this, we all appreciate it very much. If there are any matches that Jeff cannot commentate for I would be willing to commentate instead if I can. Just contact me if this happens - but Jeff has first dibs because he's done a wonderful job so far.

  OK, I´m back. I won´t be on IRC at 9pm CST today, it´s too late for me, but ýou´re all welcome to go and enjoy another great coverage!

  Still only one game has been played, and only two have been officially scheduled. Get going, guys, I know it´s difficult because of the time difference but we have to make an effort!

  Commentary:

   This evenings(Sunday) match between ClaremoreBlue/WVMountaineer for the U.S. and Cooolswing/Dorkfeatures of the International Team will be teeing in about 1/2 hour ( 9:00Pm Central/  3:00 am BST).

    I'm going to speaking with Claremoreblue during the match via  MSN  Messengers Live Chat. He will be telling me what is happening on the course, and I will be  passing along play-by-play updates on mIRC and will try to post a recap in here later this evening or tomorrow.

   We also have 2 matches tomorrow . i  could do this as well for the early match between Thunderbird/SmoothSwinger  &  Coolswing/ Slor . however, I would need one of you 4 to hook up with me via MSB Live chat, Skype, Ventrilo, or even Yahoo chat. I have played several games with  MSN and Skype .. and a couple with Ventrilo running without any lag problems.. Blue will agree since he's one i' have played. So if someone is willing, we can go a long ways toward satisfying people's curiosity about how the matches are going.

    Jeff

   P.S. .. I cannot cover the later afternoon match between Ryan.Anderson/paulmcm v. Hightower3/JALAII  because I'll be leaving for work right after the match starts ... hopefully, someone else can step in and handle that commentary.

      Claremore/WV - Cool/Dork have not played. We have missed again somehow. Please post on this thread when you guys can play, I tried to post a message on all three but will only allow for two! I can play anytime after 4 P.M. CST during the week! Anytime on the weekends. Thanks

  I also can cover the evening match Monday if one of you download MSN messanger. Jeff has to work! Let me know.

  Hi Guys,

  Not sure what happened this morning our time. I will have to catch up with Coolswing to see what the issue was. Time confusion, or maybe he just had something come up urgently? I'll try and get hold of him tonight our time, and work out a new time.

  Just to let you guys know. I Dork (Doug) live in Adelaide, South Australia, and Cool (Vic) lives in Sydney, New South Wales. 

  I am available most evenings during the week.

  Anyway - lets have another go. The time zones are certainly confusing people I think, or is it maybe just the old Led Zep song -  "Communication Breakdown"  :-))

  Have a look at this link, it may help us get a better handle on eachothers times.

  Sorry to everybody who was on line waiting for us to tee off. I know a lot of people are interested in following the commentary  - so again, profound apologies.

  Cheers Doug

  My sincere apology to everyone for missing the time arranged for my match earlier.  My boss came in on Sunday without me knowing so I had to attend an urgent meeting as soon as I came in to my office ! I didn't even have time to have a cup coffee let alone trying to log on and let every know, and by the time I walked out of the meeting 3 hours later i guess everyone had left ! 

  I am trying to reschedule another time with Blue so hopefully it will go well this time.  Also at 1:00pm CST time on Monday I hope to get my match against Thunderbird and Smoothswinger happening. Thanks everyone for being there to follow the game, again I'm very sorry about what happened.

  Just a thought - isn't this a cross between the Ryder Cup and the Presidents' Cup? What's the compound word then? Rydesidents' Cup? Presyder Cup?
