  Hi Ivietri

  65 - 35 on the International Team. Hmmmm ????   - I think not. People were shouting those odds last year, but we couldnt come up. Made valient fight back but the horse had already bolted !!

  So - to me, there's way to many unknowns on player availability. If Bollox plays it all changes - right?? and we have also lost some of our best players from the first two cups. ME - for instance LOLOL. Unfortunately I cant compete this year - but thats OK, I'll still be rooting for the Internationals.

  I personally think the USA have favouritism, by virtue of the fact that you have won the first two cups, and still have some very very good players. Plus I think it'll be played on your side of the pond this year lol

  50 / 50 at best for me.

  Cheers

  Doug

  I hear you Doug ... and I hope I'm wrong .... but ... look at the folks posting qualifying scores.  After the first 10 days the World team is clearly getting the turnout needed to select the best players.    We'll know better after the first month or 2.   Remember the way you get qualifying points, you don't have to play all 6 rounds to qualify.   

  Either way the US will field a competitive team .... but not the one I personally would put together if i had the ability to choose.

  Best ball cost the international team big time ,I think the score was 8-1  or 8-2 America after Best ball.Dam it wasnt Best ball i cant think what that was called,Where 1 player went odds and the other player went evens doubles,Anyway that particular format cost us the Cup in my opinion,

  That was "alternate hole" a variation of "Alternate Shot"----this year it will be replaced by Alt Shot (I assume). If it is at Congressional-the stronger player should Tee off on the even holes. Or not??? It will be interesting to see.

  QUESTION: If I keep posting in the qualifiers and turn legend before the Ryder Cup starts, will I able to qualify?

  Is there going to be another qualifying Tournament for June.  As far as I know, its still only just the June 18 hole open??

  I believe these scores would have to be posted in the Legend Open.   So you must make Legend then post a qualifying score.   As that would defeat the point of Legends only, including a score from a Tour Master tournament.  

  Can someone on the committee verify this?

  Here is a list of the qualifiers:

  June Open, July Open, July Kiawah Monthly, August Open, Sept. Kiawah Monthly, and finally Sept Open

  I hope I posted my score for the June Open correctly. Seemed pretty simple to do but I hit the back button after posting the score. So I posted it again. I apologize if that caused any issues.
