I'm guessing weekly, but monthly would be more "doable" for me.
Monthly would be better for us, too. I mean, me. (Can't speak for Torp, you know. Of course, I usually golf when he does, and he golfs when I do so....)

Yikes, I thought it was biennially.
Well, this being your site and all, I would think that means that you have the authority to set up the parameters.

You can count me in on monthly, but I suck so I'll play for the non US.

(Can't speak for Torp, you know. ...) Is there some way we can put that to a vote?

I haven't studied the "where are you from" thread, but I'm not sure we have the diversity here to do US vs. non-US. Plus, aren't the handicaps outside of the US calculated much more accurately, so there would be an advantage to non-USGA folks? I'm not really a fan of captains picking teams either, that can get uncomfortable. I'm guessing the divider might end up being a specific latitude or longitude, but this is Clive's gig, so it's his call. Here's some other wacky team ideas: - oem vs. component - whichever comprises the majority of your bag - post-padders vs. non-padders - with the stakes being if the non-padders win, we remove post-counts and jackets from this site. If the post-padders win, those on the winning team get a "multiplier', so that each of their posts will count 2x toward their post count. - drunkards vs. teetotallers with the rule that the alcoholics have to play sober and the teetotallers have to play drunk. **EDIT - fixed typos. It's not wise to drink while making jokes about drunkards **
