The attendees include James, Wayne, Brent, CCC, Jack and Andy. Here is the summary of the discussion. Please provide your input. 1. Two captains are elected by players; one for the Red Team and the other for the Blue Team. New captains are elected each month. 2. The captains draft for their teams. They will decide who picks up the first player by tossing a coin. They then take turns to pick up players for their teams. For example, if the Red Team (R) captain picks up players first, the sequence would be: R, B, B, R, R, B, B, R,and so on. 3. The captains submit the paring information before the game. Each group contains two players from each team, Player A and Player B. 4. The handicap is ignored. All players play like scratch golfers (hey, we may reach that level one day). 5. Each 18-hole is divided into three segments and will be played using different Ryder Cup format. 5a) Holes 1 ¨C 6 use Foursome format. Players A tee off at holes #1, #3, and #5. Players B tee off at holes #2, #4, and #6. (Ladies tee off at lady's tee on their turns.) 5b) Holes 7 ¨C 12 use Four-ball format. 5c) Holes 13 ¨C 18 use Single-match format. Two matches are played in each group: Player A (Red) matches Player A (Blue), Player B (Red) matches Player B (Blue). 6. Each team may score 0 ¨C 4 points from each group, one point for the Foursome (holes 1 - 6), one point for the Four-ball (holes 7 ¨C 12), and two points for the Single-match (holes 13 ¨C 18). 7. The team with higher accumulated points wins. ----------------------------- In case you are not familiar with Ryder Cup format, here are some notes:: 1). Foursome: Foursomes matches involve two-man teams, with each playing one ball. The players take alternate shots until the hole is completed. The lower of the two scores wins the hole. If the same amounts of shots on both sides are recorded, the hole is halved. One player will hit the tee shot on odd-numbered holes with his team mate teeing off first on the even-numbered holes. 2). Four-ball: Four-ball matches involve two-man teams with each player playing his own ball and completing the hole. The best score of the four wins the hole. 3). In singles matches, the result is decided when one player leads by more holes than there are holes left to play. 4. Team captains submit their order of play before each round of matches to an appointed tournament official. The lists from each captain are then matched, resulting in the pairings.

But this may be difficult to achieve on the course during busy weekends. Please provide your input! Thanks! Andrew Yang [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
