Title: Golfhos Ryder Cup: Teams, Format, And Sundry
Post by: Clive on April 29, 2007, 09:41:04 PM
TEAMS:

Player -- Location -- HCP
twoiron -- Australia -- 5.0
Dunk -- Canada -- 9.0
Walfredo -- OK -- 10.6
TFT -- Great Britain -- 12.0 -- Captain
campy -- WY -- 15.0
Uisce Beatha -- Ireland -- 16.2
1puttpar -- CA -- 17.2
Seamus -- WA -- 20.0
BFBoy -- OH -- 22.5
tdcoly -- PA -- 22.7
Salamander -- Greece -- 26.0
wishi -- Australia -- 30.0

Player -- Location -- HCP
fuzzmental -- MN -- 6.4 -- Captain
Aske -- PA -- 10.6
JDerion -- NJ -- 13.1
MFAWG -- WA -- 14.6
stroh -- MN -- 16.0
golfer ray -- OK -- 17.0
Teed -- VA -- 19.5
Clive -- NC -- 20.3
azsgolf -- TX -- 22.7
lennyquai -- GA -- 24.0
spaceage -- UT -- 26.0

Please review the above information for yourself and let me know if anything is incorrect.

(Please note that all the damn foreigners have been placed on one team.)


FORMAT:
  • Three rounds of matches, each of nine holes.  The teams are roughly 12-a-side; a total of 21 matches will take place, culminating with 11 singles on the final day.
  • The first two rounds will feature a total of 10 fourball matches, with the order of play determined through mutual agreement by fake captains.  Fourball matches involve two-person teams with each player playing his own ball and completing the hole. The best net score of the four wins the hole.  In singles matches, the result is decided when one player leads by more holes than there are holes left to play.
  • Everyone plays on the final day.  (Well, there's one odd-man-out, but we'll deal with it somehow.)

HOW IT WORKS:
  • TFT and fuzzmental have been selected as fake team captains, as they are their respective teams' lowest US and non-US handicappers for whom Golfhos hasn't been blocked at work.
  • Fake team captains submit their order of play before each round of matches to an appointed tournament official.  The lists from each fake captain are then matched, resulting in the pairings.
  • If any player plays 18, the front nine score will be used as the GHRC score.
  • I will need your score and the rating/slope of the course you play (for the tee set you played from).
  • Handicaps will applied for each hole, with net score determining if the hole has been won or halved.
  • A mildly offensive trophy will be awarded the winning team.

NEXT ACTION:
Captains, please each submit your list of ten names.  They will be paired as fourball teams and matches, in the order you submit them.  The first round of matches should be completed by end of day Sunday, 15th May.

Do we use the course rating and divide by two for the nine hole rating, or do you want the actual slope and rating for the nine you play (available on the usga website for American courses)?

In the tradition of 700 years of bull*feces* once again the Irishman is subjected to rule by the Englishman. 

As I was walking down the road
A feeling fine and larky oh
A recruiting sergeant came up to me
Says he you'd look fine in khaki oh
For the King he is in need of men
Come read this proclamation oh
A life in Flanders for you then
Would be a fine vacation now

That maybe so says I to him
But tell me sergeant dearie-oh
If I had a pack stuck upon my back
Would I look fine and cheerie oh
For they'd have you train and drill until
They had you one of Frenchies oh
It may be warm in Flanders
But it's draughty in the trenches oh

The sergeant smiled and winked his eye
His smile was most provoking oh
He twiddled and twirled his wee moustache
Says he I know you're only joking oh
For the sandbags are so warm and high
The wind you won't feel blowing oh
Well I winked at a cailin passing by
Says I what if it's snowing oh

Come rain or hail or wind or snow
I'm not going out to Flanders oh
There's fighting in Dublin to be done
Let your Sergeants and your Commanders go
Let Englishmen fight English wars
It's nearly time they started oh
I saluted the Sergeant a very good night
And there and then we parted oh


Ah well, nothing to be done about it.  I'm in.

We need to see if twoiron and wishi even have the option of playing a USGA rated course.  I know they're few and far between in Ireland.

Question on format--

Since it appears it will be "match play", how do you account for the differences in par/hole.  For example, my 3rd hole is a par 3.  What if my "opponent" has a par 5 for his or her 3rd hole?  I also only have one par 5 on the front 9, what if the opposition has 2?

(Wish we coulda played this past weekend-I finally had a "break through")

I'm....I'm..speechless and overcome with emotion.  :crying:   My first fake captaincy outside of a little fishing boat my father got for me and my brother in my youth. But I digress.

On to the important matter of selecting a fake assistant captain. One to make sure the beer is cold and keep me "real". I have a team of winners but I need to go with someone who has experience working with the Captain and most of all, female. I'm down to two finalists:

I don't think we have that option, however I'm sure our course rating system can be accomodated to suit all of you on the other side of the pond.

While Golfhos is currently blocked at work... the Prolefeed isn't, so I can check either site..

w00t!... let the games begin...

If you have the rating/slope for the nine you play, give it.  If not, give me the course and the 18-hole rating/slope.  (I reserve the right to look it up and see if I can find the nine-hole numbers.)

I'll lightly switch the order of holes for one player to make the hole-by-hole pars match.  If the nines are just incompatible, I'll cheat.

Did you expect anything less of me?

I don't think it matters. I'm pretty sure the numbers are just arbitrary anyway. Take detailed photos of the front nine, send them to Clive, along with a topographical map of the region, almanac records of weather patterns over the last 20 years, a bottle of cheap scotch, and naked pictures of Rue McClanahan (don't ask) and he can probably come up with something.

twoiron -- Australia -- 5.0
Dunk -- Canada -- 9.0
Walfredo -- OK -- 10.6

Uisce Beatha -- Ireland -- 16.2
1puttpar -- CA -- 17.2
Seamus -- WA -- 20.0
BFBoy -- OH -- 22.5
tdcoly -- PA -- 22.7
wishi -- Australia -- 30.0

The above is our first round team.  I saw that Sal couldn't play (in effect) this round and I took myself out too because I'm nice like that.

From the teams it looks like our side has to miss out 2 people each round then one on the final day.  No person in Team International will be out of more than 1 round unless by their (un)availability.  If you know you can't play in a particular round please say so and make it easier on me, otherwise I have to axe someone, but good   :(

If any player mentioned above cannot play the round by the time specified (Sun 13th) please let me know ASAP so I can play instead (or Sal if it becomes possible).

I was scheduling to play with Walfredo and GolferRay this weekend so I will referee them instead, or just drink lots of beer, one of those.

Clivie baby, I have sent a PM with our actual order of 1st round play.

If I've missed anything/completely misunderstood something/you want more junk chat just pm me.

Go Team International Tourists (TIT).

[sm_beertoast]  Probably a good call on your part to sit out.  After a good round there is no where to go but up in score.  Hope I can salvage something decent. 

Go ahead and bring your clubs along. ;)  That way you can cheerlead, referee, play golf, and drink lots of beer.

With that in mind I've booked you and Ray on at North Hefner at 11:15am on Sunday 6th May. 

Ray, if that's too early let me know and we can see if they have any pm times, it's Hefner and the weekend so it's going to be pretty busy.

See you guys there.

Okie dokie Cap'n TIT.

I'll be in Florida next week (with my clubs), and probably won't be able to post my score until the 14th.

I'll probably play at least three rounds, do you want the score from my first or do I get to pick the best (Clive?)?

I see, throwing me the curve ball eh?

I will watch for if anyone can't play from the guys/gals I listed as first round players, hopefully someone will be unable to play and I don't have to chop someone.

Or they could volunteer to sit out this round.

If they were nice.

Go ahead and bring your clubs along. ;)  That way you can cheerlead, referee, play golf, and drink lots of beer.

With that in mind I've booked you and Ray on at North Hefner at 11:15am on Sunday 6th May. 

Ray, if that's too early let me know and we can see if they have any pm times, it's Hefner and the weekend so it's going to be pretty busy.

See you guys there.

Clive,

Are we scoring our cards with ESC?  Or are we reporting gross numbers?

If so, do you plan to apply ESC after the scores are reported?

I've been know to "blow up" on a hole or two.

Just askin'.

Post by: Clive on May 04, 2007, 05:49:45 PM
In competition, it's raw scores, peaches.


The beauty of match play is that the blow-up hole only costs you that hole.  Clean slate as of the next tee.

Captain Fuzzy, Lennyquai cannot play.  Please choose another.

Captain TIT, Sal and Aske played just the other day, and their scores were turned in to me for use in the first round of Matches.

Insert me into Lenny's spot in the lineup. I'll PM an update.

I see, throwing me the curve ball eh?

I will watch for if anyone can't play from the guys/gals I listed as first round players, hopefully someone will be unable to play and I don't have to chop someone.

Or they could volunteer to sit out this round.

If they were nice.

Fuzz, looks like you are playing.

Hard decisions you have there....

Just a reminder:

Please shoot me your HOLE-BY-HOLE scores as well as the slope/rating of the course you play.  It's match play, so I have to line up the individual hole scores.


QUESTION: right now, people are free to talk about their scores because no one knows who they're (virtually) playing against.  The other way I can work it is to post the head-to-head matches ... but then it helps the second person to play if he/she reads what the opponent has scored and knows what it takes to win.  So if I announce the pairings, you'd have to keep your scores off the open boards until the round of matches was completed.  Thoughts?

You understand, I assume, that it means people can't post up their stories about playing with other Golfhos, or having a great round, or having a horrid round, and so on.  That'd go for 20 people each time.

Some people like to talk about golf here (crazy, I know, but it happens).  For the next two rounds, I don't want to block that unless it's with their approval.

I don't really know the answer Seamie but as we're submitting rating and slope I presume course index comes into play and the matches will be handicapped accordingly.  So... it shouldn't matter.

LOL! Thank you. I have a "topping" theory I'm working on, it involves switching from glasses to contacts, it's very involved and I'll be seeking Aske's advice to quantify theorems and diagram mathematical calculations.

See that's where the switching lenses made a ummmm errrr a HUGE difference, I did not realize my head was moving laterally, no wait that's not it, my head was moving slightly up exactly .01 seconds before impact causing my spine angle...no wait

Since el capitan ruined my Sunday GHRC round due to an early morning watch mishap that resulted in him thinking he was on pacific time (you'll have to ask him about that one); I haven't played my round yet.  But I plan on playing Wed afternoon if the weather holds.  The course is soggy as hell from assloads of rain and some trees were uprooted by a small tornado yesterday morning.  If I can't Wed then it will be on Sunday with the in laws, Mrs and baby.  If I lose I blame el capitan because I was hitting the ball very well at the range after being stood up. ;)

Captain TIT,
Are we still one person over?


As far as we know we are BF.

Beattie offered to sit out but I think that might end up being a mistake I'd rather not make.

I think the best way to do it for us is for everyone to play if they can and for someone (by lot) to drop a player at random.

The method behind the madness for this is that if someone sits out (and does not bother to actually play) and then someone who was 'in' doesn't get to play we will be short a result (or more).

Foe example Walfredo has still to play but he lives in OKC and it's been stormy/tornadic/piss wet through here for days/weeks/seems like months and if this wonderful weather doesn't go away for the weeekend he will not be able to turn a score in.

I think to try and overcome this everyone that can play should play and record a score (one spot can be alternates).  In the event we get too many scores the random draw can be made to eliminate one of the rounds (by the dice function in chat by a member of the other team for example).

I don't really care which way we do it, whether we post scores/match ups and an ongoing result.  I'm just concerned that we get as many results in as we can.

Thoughts anyone?

Go you *funbags*.

Doh, I made my post following this without the benefit of reading your drivel.

 :)

The reason for that day was very complicated and involved a watch that was set to CST -2 hours (changed it 8 hours instead of 6, visiting from England) by an elderly ([sm_shock])member of my family, me being up stupidly early to clean the pool that still hasn't been done for over a week because of the weather and a jet washer that makes me giddy.

And you hit them well on the range because that was with a 30mph following wind.   ;D

Hopefully you will get a a score to hand in.  I'm hoping to get out this week too but absolutely no idea when due to the courses floating or being blown away.

Oh well, wouldn't be fun if it was easy.

I think to try and overcome this everyone that can play should play and re 8)cord a score (one spot can be alternates).  In the event we get too many scores the random draw can be made to eliminate one of the rounds (by the dice function in chat by a member of the other team for example).

I don't really care which way we do it, whether we post scores/match ups and an ongoing result.  I'm just concerned that we get as many results in as we can.

Thoughts anyone?
Fine idea.  If it pleases: turn in your lineups, just as usual.  Everyone plays (the whole team, if possible -- not merely the named players from the lists), everyone reports scores to me.  If a team's named player misses a tee time or can't get a round in for some reason, I'll blind-draw from the "extra" players' scores to slot a replacement in.

Bonus: everyone's score has a chance of being used on any given match.  8)

As for Karma, I've got this reputation, I'm trying to shed.  If you want Karma from me, it will now cost you.

I'll triple my Karma to Clive then, one for you, one for me, and one for the homeys who aren't with us anymore!

Thanks Clive!

I think the best way to do it for us is for everyone to play if they can and for someone (by lot) to drop a player at random.

The method behind the madness for this is that if someone sits out (and does not bother to actually play) and then someone who was 'in' doesn't get to play we will be short a result (or more).

Foe example Walfredo has still to play but he lives in OKC and it's been stormy/tornadic/piss wet through here for days/weeks/seems like months and if this wonderful weather doesn't go away for the weeekend he will not be able to turn a score in.

I think to try and overcome this everyone that can play should play and record a score (one spot can be alternates).  In the event we get too many scores the random draw can be made to eliminate one of the rounds (by the dice function in chat by a member of the other team for example).

Considering you gave Seamus karma for the picture I scoured the internet to bring here:

Played at Aqua Canyon yesterday.

Started to rain on the 3rd, I'd been playing well and was even par, lipping a birdie putt.

Then it came down a bit faster.  4th is a par 3 around 150 yards and I hit a sweet shot which hit the pin on the fly and landed about 2 inches from the hole.  Almost an ace. Ended up about 10 feet away.  I'm thinking 'career round'.

Got up to the green and it's tipping it down, really just pissing from above.

Green had casual water (already saturated from the deposits over the last few weeks).

3 putt for bogey, doh.  Balls don't roll well through puddles, who knew?

Went back to the clubhouse and drank beer.

No mulligans.  You went out and knew it counted, you turned in a score, you deal with the shame.

It's what I'm going to have to do.  Three times.  :'(

Off for 18 in Spacey's neck of the woods this morning.  Why do I have this feeling I'll shoot a PB on the front nine.   8)

I'm going to try to work the head-to-head match scores this weekend (that's the PITA part of the deal) and post results for matches decided.

JDerion, Clive, tdcoly, twoiron, and golfer_ray: one week left to play your nine or forfeit.  Get it in gear!


Title: Re: Golfhos Ryder Cup: Teams, Format, And Sundry
Post by: TFT on May 12, 2007, 10:24:27 AM
tdcoly is away (but with clubs) and hopefully will post his score on Monday.

You said you had a score in for Sal.

It was because of that I asked for someone (else) to sit out this round.  I'm happy to have her included and kick that slow ass Oz bloke out if that works.  (And no, I don't know how she shot).  If you follow the timeline I submitted the team before I knew she had in fact played and sent in a score.

Team TIT is cool either way.

Deadline is tomorrow for games to be played isn't it?


Title: Re: Golfhos Ryder Cup: Teams, Format, And Sundry
Post by: Clive on May 12, 2007, 12:20:08 PM
Subbing Sal in for twoiron is fine by me.

I said Sunday, May 15th.  Apparently, I didn't say which year (a trick I learned from FGI), as 15 MAY 2007 is a Tuesday.  When I originally imposed the Sunday deadline, I didn't realize it was Mother's Day.  For that reason, as well as because I haven't played yet, I'm pushing it out just a smidge.

I'm taking a day off this week and playing, probably Wednesday the 16th.  JDerion and golfer_ray, you have short-lived reprieves!

Post by: Dunk on May 12, 2007, 01:24:31 PM
So, is it possible to see the progress so far?  Or are you going to wait til they're all in?


Title: Re: Golfhos Ryder Cup: Teams, Format, And Sundry
Post by: Clive on May 12, 2007, 01:33:46 PM
I was actually just at work, crunching numbers.  In a couple matches, the players give/get no strokes v. one another, so I can work those out and post them.  For the rest ...

I forgot that I need the handicap ratings per hole for the nine!  (I'm used to doing this in-person, where i have the scorecards in front of me.)  Uisce gave me the ratings, and one person scanned in the card.  Obviously, half of the players had to give strokes, so I don't need their hole-by-hole handicap information.  I will tell which of the rest of youse guys need to either give me the handicap-hole ratings, scan or snap a pic of the card for me, or point me to a link of the card online.

First-round match results have been posted.  Scores are still coming in, so it'll be updated in what I'll generously call real-time.
