The world cup of golf 2017
hello all
welcome to the world cup
2017,
this is gonna be a
fantastic 6 months for all of us,my aim
was to get more teams in and make it bigger than last year and boy have I done
it in style.
We have 32 squads with 12 players from different clubs,that’s
384 players in total from all over the world,
8 players will playing
each group match,there are 4 groups of 8 teams and the top 4 from each group
will go through to the knockout stages
but that’s a long way off yet,
They have 7 matches in
the group over 3 different formats matchplay,strokeplay and stableford.
we have some of the top
clubs involved this year and im glad cosa nostra are here to defend their title
and try to retain the cup,its gonna take some great golf to take it off them
after seeing some posts and talking to yankee jim their cc manager,
This is my first
comp with southern England links and
looking at our sides,we will be pushing to get our teams into the knockout
stages and possibly our A team will make it to the final stages and maybe win
it,im sure jim will have something to say against that lol,
Ive managed to attract
some big names into it this year who regularly top the wgt leaderboards and its
nice that they will give the chance for other players and perhaps lower tiers a
chance to play against them,
I wanted to find the
best club team on wgt beating opponents over different formats and this year I
think we will find them with the talent ive seen sent over to me,
I have drafted a couple
of friends to help me this year,they are
gonna help with setting up matches,pairing up the players and filling in the
tables,so between us we wont miss anything,if im not around,you can always
contact them if you need to know anything,
Right enough of me
waffling lol lets get this party started
Round 1
Congressional 18 holes

All

RULES

any player with a
-2 by their name must concede holes
4 and 15
any player with -3 by
their name must concede holes 4,9 and 15
all matches must be
completed by due date or will be classed as void 0 points,no excuses want to keep the comp
going.
If any player
changes tier before he plays his match,he must play as the new tier,
Always check you playing
partners tier before start of play,
No focus boosts will be
allowed during matches. Use of this tool will lead to a disqualification
Arrangement rules are in
the information forum please read them
Players if any problems
arranging matches,contact your captain asap and he will contact the other
captain so they can sort it,I don’t really want to get involved if I don’t have
to but if you need a ruling contact me
PLAYER 1 get those invites
sent out as early as possible
PLAYER 2 get times and dates back
so both of you can find a suitable day to play,
remember the time zones and make it ok for both of you to play the match,
Captains can you send me
weekly reports please and il update tables day after close of play
I cant do this without
your help
Keep me updated on any
tier changes because it will affect the handicap
I know from last year
that the chances of 100% completion are slim and we only managed it a couple of
rounds last year but this comp will not stop and any games for whatever reason
not played will be void,
What I don’t want is any
negative remarks or bad feedback from any players,if you have a problem,see
your captain and he can contact the other captain to resolve the issue,
I don’t want to get
involved unless I have to,we are all adults so please act like one,
The main thing to
remember it’s a game and a chance to make some new friends win or lose,
Go in with this attitude
and you will enjoy it,that’s the main reason why I put myself through this
torture lol.
right let the games commence
