  Just finished my last qualifier and all I can say is I hope the rest of you get better luck with the winds than I just experienced. I missed 2 greens both because I couldn't reach with a driver and 3 wood. One of those rounds where nothing goes for you and I'm gutted it happened in a qualifier.

  Many thanks Seve and team for the work you've put into this....

  IMPORTANT

  Could all who have recently scored 62 in the September 18 hole Open please check your leaderboard to see if the score is entered against your name.

  We have had a 62 submitted with NO name entered on the form.

  You can either post on here or scribble on my wall.

  Just a few weeks away. The excitement is so thick I could cut it with a knife!  

  Team USA, please post your scores for this month if you have not already done so. Even if you think you are out of contention! I need the clearest picture possible when picking the wildcards and creating matchups for the alt shot.

  Also, get all the practice you can in on Congressional.  I want us to own that course once play begins. If you want to practice or play against me, just send an invite and I would be happy to. Start the chants...

  U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A!! Let's show them what the ugly americans are all about!! lol

  Think that 62 may have been mine, red. Don't know how I didnt put my name in, but I did shoot a 62 and there isn't a 62 by my name lol. Sorry about that.

  A quick update from Team World HQ....

  I am delighted to announce that GeordieLes has agreed to be Vice Captain for Team World.

  Les has a plethora of experience both as a former RC player and as winning Team Captain in the WGTLS Ryder Cup. His help and support and keen eye for strategy will be invaluable.

  Please join me in congratulating Les in his appointment!

  Regarding the ongoing qualifying, firstly congratulations to all the players taking part, the scores from Team World have been simply superb, truly of the highest quality. The current top 9 players have been an average of 0.96 strokes, per round, better than the opposition in the first 4 rounds of qualifying. that is absolutely incredible and testament to the strength and depth of the squad as it takes shape.

  Good luck to all as you complete your final games, Les and I will be hooking up with a number of you to talk strategy, pairings etc as we plan ahead for the big event!

  Cheers

  Monty

  Excellent choice Monty, Les certainly has plenty of experience of these events in playing and managing a team. I am sure he'll assist you enormously in the build up and during the competition proper.
