Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Hello Guys,

IanP usually does a sterling job on the golf majors, but I believe that he might not have realised that the USPGA has been moved due to the Olympics. So I thought Id try it and hnad over to Ian P when he realises it as it kicks off tomorrow.

From the Official World Rankings website (2016 week 30) http://www.owgr.com/ranking

Of your team of 12, at least 3 of your players must be ranked outside the Top 50. Of the allowed 9 players ranked inside the Top 50, no more than 6 can be from the Top 20, with a maximum of 3 from the Top 5.


Scoring System

You will score points for your best 5 performers over the course of the tournament. Your best 5 players' final shot totals will be added together, with the team having the lowest total number of shots being declared the winner.

For the sake of clarity: players who do not finish the tournament (either by missing the cut or pulling out of the tournament) will be adjudged to have taken 400 shots for the 4 rounds.

If any of your players takes no part in the tournament, he will be replaced by the best ranked player available.

Nice one Sussex

I notice that the Kaymer/Dufner partnership at 51 and 52 in the world (Is Kaymer really that low!!!!) is a popular choice, so to distinguish I will change Dufner for F.Molinari.

Tournament starts at 12:00 hours UK time/13:00 hours European time

Happy to accept late enteries so long as the golfers chosen have not completed the first hole (as it was a quick turnaround).

Not looking good for me here.

Watching the cricket tonight, so will update this tomorrow

BN submitted an eleven man team, so I included the next highest ranked available player to his team (Jim Furyk)



Which makes the table looking thus:



Please check your scores though, as I haven't used the regular spreadsheet due to only producing a single update.

Golf FL will return in September for the Ryder Cup

My performance was even worse as I didn't pick Kaymer but had Pieters instead. Thanks and congrats ian.

My mistake DD - I had Pieters down as a DNP so replaced him with the next best available. He must have been at the bottom of those that played 4 rounds

Thanks Ian and well done!

Can't believe that I only did 11. I can't count!!!
