Wow! That's a very impressive win by the Teutonic Two. Superb play Jorg and Marc. Pretty much unstoppable.
Those stats are incredible: Marc's 100% GIR with 11.5 Ave. Distance is amazing given these sloping 2nd shot approaches, with Jorg barely any further away with his total of 13.9 ave. distance. It looks like only a miraculous putting round from the US could have kept them in touch.
Overall match score is now: Team USA 0.5 :: Team ROW 4.5
What an opening weekend for Team ROW!
The last match of the week 1 series is scheduled for Friday morning 9:30am WGT time... It's such a shame to wait so long after all this excitement!
Captains will need to start planning their Foursomes (AltShot) pairings, and we'll aim to have matchups set by Wed/Thu to help with planning. Once again, my goal is to get as many matches as need to be played at the weekend, targeted for the first weekend in the Sat 1/31-Mon 2/9 window, so that we have fall-back days if needed.
Would everyone please let me know if you have any availability changes for next period (Sat 1/31-Mon 2/9), so we can start working out pairings and match-ups for the Foursomes (AltShot).
Also, I've seen the threads in the forums about AltShot invites being problematic. As we practice for next week, please report in the thread as to whether you're having difficulties getting games started. Team ROW will have the honor going into week2, as they are now in the lead, so it's up to them to start every match.
Prospective pairings should also be thinking about who wants to tee off on the odd-numbered and even-numbered holes.
Thanks!
