Hanswurst72:

just wanted to mention, ready gos at congressional are now possible. Any way of getting that into the qualifying process?

Ready Go's are not part of qualifying, only single play 18 hole monthly comps are used and we are at the mercy of WGT to which courses they use for some of these. lets hope that either the aug or sept 18 holes opens are at Congresssional.

I am sure that WGT knows about this community organised Ryder Cup. That said, i am sure that they know that many/most of the top players in the game are in this tournament. That said, if we approach WGT and kindly ask them if we can have a particular course, then perhaps they would be willing to accomodate.

I would be happy to approach them and ask, but perhaps it would be better in the hands of one of the organizers. If you guys agree that this is a good idea, but are too busy i would be happy to help out though. Let me know.

Thanks, Willy

I think all issues surrounding Ryder Cup qualifying might be resolved if WGT were to:

Allow membership in multiple Country Clubs
Add a 30-day Duration option to CC tournament set up

With that in place, Seve could start the Ryder Cup CC, accept membership requests from all interested in qualifying and set up the appropriate qualifying tournaments.

I think we should definitely keep an open forum for these suggestions moving forward as there are some good ideas here on possible improvements to the qualiying process for future Ryder Cups. This tournament is an awesome event and it deserves any input players can offer to keep it as prestigious event that it is.

In real life, Ryders cup players, how many time played before in Ryder course?? Ryder organizer make all that they can to make a good selection but if you want to practice in Congressional, you can do it easy. Ryder is a basic MP challenge but how many times real players play in MP tournament? All sugestions are goods to try to make this tournament better, but we should think that organizer team cant decided all taht happend in WGT, only try to make a good competition.

Thanks for your work and all we try to help them

Exactly Villa - no qualifying events for the actual Ryder Cup ever actually take place on the course where the event is played. I think were all getting a little hung up on how the qualifying process should be based on the course where the RC will be held (in our case Congressional). Its the same for all players and both teams which is just about the fairest we can do at the min.

I do like some of the the suggestions that are being mentioned though. The ability to set up Open CC Tournaments would work very well in this process. Keep them coming!

I am taking a leave from the game and have no idea when ill be back. If I'm back in a month or 2 I will try and get the rest of the qualiiying in. This tournament was one I was looking forward to. Maybe I'll still be back for it and qualify if I'm lucky. Good luck on the event. Was really looking forward to possibly being apart of it, but I need to walk away. Take care and thanks.
