  What you mean you have 15 teams in ? Did I miss something thought we had teams in already.

  I think Paul is referring to the 8-player team selections for the opening matches, not the 12-player squads.

  Paul.....you have done a great job setting this event up.....kudos.......just a suggestion......handicaps given to lower tiers will always create controversy.....if one reaches legend status.......one has proven he/she is a good player........and wanting competition against the best of WGT . 

  Champs giving strokes to legends that drive fairways 90 %   and GIR 90 % and one putt over 50 %  ......... i ask you sincerely......how fair is that ?

  Just as an aside,  I had to chuckle to myself when The Boners got drawn against The ThunderChicks. As long as I don't draw Binks, I fancy my chances.

  ps.  that list should also include Nico, Dotty, Mark, Greg, Graemme, The Handsome One,Rob Chris, Jacko or Jure.

  It doesn't work that way. These were a couple of exceptions mutually agreed upon by all concerned. Handicaps are automatic per Paul's format.

  With 8 Legends on your team whyever wouldn't you want them?

  First sensible post I've read in this entire thread. 

  Low level/tiered players shouldn't have anything "handed" to them. If you want to play the best, either bring your A game (which still may not be enough) or lose and learn, and come back next year. 

  The Legend tier is the one tier dominated by baggers. 

  I saw a post here about this being a "have fun" tourney. Giving strokes/holes to someone simply means this is about winning, not fun. 

  Kudo's to Indian's team. 

  Just my thoughts on the handicap subject.
