A week from today, I will post a link here of the World Golf rankings.
That will be the link to use to select your team of five.

Contestants need to keep in mind that with the time difference, the British Open tees off earlier than we are used to.
A rough estimate would be that all selections will need to be posted by 1am ET on Thursday July 18th.
I'll post the official cut-off time as soon as it is available.
Don't get shut out!

Scores will, as usual, be updated daily.
I'll be at work for the duration, so it may be as late as 8pm ET daily for scores.

Looking forward to a fun tournament on the links....good luck to all!!!

The cut-off time for posting entries is 01:32 ET on Thursday July 18th , or by bedtime on Wednesday for most of us.

For a list of the players, here are 1st round tee times:

Uber-exclusive club but my son works with a guy who is friends with a guy who is a member -- only way you can get on to play. Happens to be the site where the wedding took place as well.

ten2oneormore is killing it......

Another observation.....Rory McIlroy needs many sessions on a shrink's couch,
or needs to quit dating cute tennis players - or both.

Thx...When I woke up they were all tied for 1st.Pretty crazy but got a long way to go on a tough course.

Yeah McIlroy just totally lost his confidence it seems when he switched to Nike clubs.Tiger had a slump when he first switched too so maybe Rory will snap out of it.

The report from Shaugnessy.....

It was all it was talked up to be. Old school course with giant pines and redwoods. Tight holes with even tighter fairways. The rough was a tanlged mess where your score goes to die. (can't imagine the rough being an inch higher) Bunkers were plentiful, well placed but the sand was like you see on tv -- you can actually play a shot from it.

The greens are absolutely stunning, lots of undulations and fast, fast, fast. You have to place your shots on the right plateau to even have a chance. Three putts were the order of the day.

Don't miss the green by even 5 feet because it's just plain scarry. The greens are so fast you're scared to hit too hard and if you decel your club twists and you're lucky to get it on the green. Short game scoring was a nightmare. Makes you appreciate the pros even more.

I shot 48-48-96 playing fairly decently, although the driver was not working. As a reference, I played a very nice resort course yesterday called Predator Ridge in Vernon, BC and shot 82. Same guy, same basic game, totally different degree of difficulty.

It's going to be tough going back to the bald Manitoba prairie to golf again. That's they way I saw it. Jay Trotter reporting.

Red Knave still smoked all of us: but how can you score a -6 when only 1 player finished under par ?

Jay Trotter

Red Knave still smoked all of us: but how can you score a -6 when only 1 player finished under par ?By using "individual round" scores of your four best players each day. Kind of like playing team golf where your team score is -8 while no individual on the team broke par!
