***2008 RYDER CUP PAIRINGS***

[racmbs]

Folks....it was a long deliberation, and after much thought....I have completed the 2008 Ryder Cup team. There were several requests from those to play with familiar faces, but I had to keep playing strengths and weaknesses in mind...so please understand that my decision had nothing to do with being someone's buddy. Some know I spent a bit of time playing some rounds with certain people to see how their games stacked up together....others I already knew as I had played many, many, many rounds of golf with them.

I feel confident that this years team will give the OGF guys a good fight and will come out victorious, as I'm sure Geoff's stacked his team with the same type of shooters they had last year and are not going to roll over and die as easily as we think.

So without further ado, I present to you the 2008 Ryder Cup team that will bring home the cup to dirty Toronna! :D

Thanks to all of you for taking up the challenge this year, cannot wait to hit the links with you guys and fight to the end to bring home the cup!!!!

[braithwaite]

Thanks Again Scotty,

Can't wait to get out and play and battle with the OGF guys

Again thanks for all the hard work Scott

[luv2golow]

Lookin good, Scotty!

Lets bring her home, boys!:cool:

[golferboy]

Good luck guys...sorry I missed the qualifying.......

[nearace]

good luck to all the boys on the team bring home the cup.

[LowPost42]

[Timmeh]

Good luck guys bring it back to us. Would have love to be going with you if your going against a guy named Randy LaCroix give him a nude and tell him his nephew Tim says hi.

[Rocknronny]

Good luck boys!

Looks like a strong team you got there Scotty. It's going to be tough to repeat. But we have the advantage of getting strokes on our side. Although we saw last year that doesn't always work to the advantage.

It should be lots of fun as usual.

RR, I'll speak up now on behalf of OG, if we happen to repeat we won't be playing in September. It takes enough planning, organizing and spending to do one of these a year, I won't be doing a second.

Besides, we've got alot of other forum outings and events going on throughout the season, so most of will be busy as it is, let alone with our own club events.

[Bellyhungry]

Just out of curiosity, is there a match results/scoresheet from 2007 posted somewhere here?

I don't think we ever posted the individual match results. But we did post the scores from the end of day one and the end of day two on OG. I'll try to find the thread and post the link.

+2 on my end from the challenge...as fun as it is, it ate up alot of my time and just wouldn't have the patience to do it again this year. Coupled with the other stuff I've got going on, events, tourneys....there just isn't time.

Thanks for the offer Ron, maybe next year.

We will have to see who brings home the cup this year. There will be lots of action all summer long once the events start happening.

Don't see a lot of work on TGN's part. TGN already has there team put together. All the work is done.
We don't have to travel for this, could be at Ballentrae, Osprey ( Hoot ) or some other local track.

It would be a fun day. TGN would just sit back and show up, wouldn't have to be formal just a bunch of guys getting together for ONE DAY of match play and the most pt's buys the beer and wings.

What is it 12 guys on each team. I'm sure we can find a format that is suitable for the day. Group hug now:D .

Please stay on topic guys, we're here to encourage our team. Further discussions on future events should be done privately.

Good luck guys, and bring home the trophy. :D

all hail our captain RACMBS! :hyper: I appreciate you taking up the role of captain this year and relieving me of the work.

Like last year, the matches are just one part of what makes this a great event. The travel, the camaraderie, the chance to play a couple rounds of golf that have some bragging rights and just playing a team event. It's hard to even duplicate at my home club events.

You did a great job last year bro....I came to realize very quickly this year that juggling this with everything else going on in my life was a tough task, but am glad I took the challenge as it's shaping up to be a great event.

If we win, any member of the 2008 team that wishes to step up and organize a match against TGI are more than welcome to do so, but it will not be me.

What also makes it great is the fact most of us are regular members on both boards. Although we may call one forum our "home" forum, the fact we've gotten to know one another over the years via this method of communication makes it great.

Even though I've only met most of the TGN guys once, I feel like I've known them for alot longer. It makes getting together real easy and relaxing.

[trunckslammer1]

To the TGN team, play well and bring back the cup. Above all, have fun.

Post some pictures after the match.

More curiosity: Since Scott already posted the pairings for TGN, perhaps you could post the Ottawa pairings? I wonder how many TGN regular members play for Ottawa.

Here are the pairings for the Ottawa team. I wouldn't call any of them TGN regulars. I'd refer to them as TGN visitors that are regulars on Ottawa Golf. :)

ironmaster and Indio
Lance LePage and Chris St. Michael
hoolio and geronamo
Paulio and Mattchew
Wilster and gbower
LobWedge and jvincent
Sakuraba and Pinshark
habsfan's friend (habsfan hasn't told me his friend's forum name yet) and habsfan
Geoff Johnston?? and Bouche


I'm not sure how many of them also have TGN accounts. I believe we had more guys on last year's team that frequented both TGN and OG.

Oh sure. There have been move than enough of them signing up and sneaking in their shots in the trash thread. :D :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Of course I should talk I've been doing the same thing over on OG :eek: :p :rofl:

Go Team!

[gr8glfr]

Since I am new to the TGN team, all I can say is I am very excited to be part of it and I hope I can represent our forum with pride! I am really looking forward to meeting my team mates and I will bring my camera and post some pics of the event for all to see.
Lets bring the cup home!
Thanks Scott for putting this shing ding together. Your efforts are extremely appriciated.

Bruce.

[corchard]

... and I will bring my camera and post some pics of the event for all to see.

Oh no your not. Leave the camera in the car. At least until the rounds are over. You can take pictures of the trolls with "biiiiig B**B's" all you want.:eek:

[Leftygolfer30]

Post some pictures after the match.

No worries, I've got a couple of stellar outfits that will be more than picture worthy!!! :D

No worries, Bruce.... we're looking forward to meeting you too!

A word of advice..... try not to concentrate too hard on your partners pre shot dance moves..... he does that to freak out his opponents, not his playing partners.;)

Other than that he's a great guy to play with.:)

Looking very forward to seeing the whole crew together shortly. Lets all pool our collective mojo and bring home the cup!:D

I'd reccomend just looking away. Just because I have a tenuous connection with the ground, my clubs, reality doesn't mean I can't play. well at least in my mind.

Shear white with a big maple leaf strategically placed is the new uniform?

sheesh play through a team meeting and look what you miss. I guess I need to go shopping.

Dude, you wouldn't know style if it bit you in the nose. :rofl: I was sitting in a cart with you for 18 holes with stylin' red golf pants for cryin' out loud! :D

[cdnputter]

Isn't there a team rule about not getting dressed in the dark or wearing shoes/clothes that a clown threw up on?

How about the team rule about not talking about the thongs?

All kidding aside, good lineup Scott. When do we find out who our opponents are? The morning on Day 1?

Matches will be figured out shortly by Geoff and myself.....we need to get everyone's HDCP's sorted out first and am still waiting on quite a few guys to get them to me, Rob. *ahem* :D

It is called focus. You could have paraded around huge B**bs and I wouldn't have noticed.

[golfingoalie]

Scotty you planning on walking or riding? I thought riding we could take advantage of the GPS but then I remembered you have a rangefinder.

[gr8glfr]

so my partner has some dance moves...
Well I have a nice little bit of footwork in my swing so I think we will get along just fine.
Why does the topic of a thong always seem to pop up in the middle of what seems to be every post? I mean WTF?
No sleep for me tonight.........

Folks....it was a long deliberation, and after much thought....I have completed the 2008 Ryder Cup team. There were several requests from those to play with familiar faces, but I had to keep playing strengths and weaknesses in mind...so please understand that my decision had nothing to do with being someone's buddy. Some know I spent a bit of time playing some rounds with certain people to see how their games stacked up together....others I already knew as I had played many, many, many rounds of golf with them.

Long range forecast for Friday and Saturday look OUTSTANDING low 20's, sunny and very light wind...PLEASE don't change :hyper:

[BowmanvilleJim]

Just enough breeze to keep the bugs at bay would be great.

[Big Johnny69]

Scott, so are we rounding up/down the indexes? I see none of your guys have a X.X index. .5 and up we round up, .4 and down goes down? I've just been getting my guys' actual index. But it would be easy to change. LMK, thanks.

Hey Geoff,

That is exactly what I am doing....rounding off to make it easier.

.5 or higher goes up, .5 or less goes down.

I'm waiting on one guy who seems to be sleeping and not reading posts. :rofl:

[Big Johnny69]

OK, I'll do the same. I'll pass along all the individual and team indexes this week. I'll have all the stat sheets done up to track the matches. All you need to do is show up with your team in tow. It should be a blast again. I passed along a PM to you the other day and haven't heard back yet. Just wanted to know what order you prefer for sending the guys out both days.

Got the PM, was only going to respond once I had all the HDCP's in.

Everything looks good in the PM!

You playing?

Scotty I think my index went up 6 strokes after today's round at Royal Ashburn oh and gr8glfr needs a better partner. :p

[Big Johnny69]

I have some unfortunate news Scott. Despite my constant pestering to get it done sooner, my fiancee and her mother have decided to choose next weekend as the weekend to start the building of the new deck. So this officially means I won't be playing at the Ryder Cup. You can imagine what I'm feeling right now.

Now for the even more unfortunate news. If I can't find a replacement for me, I'll have to cut the last player that signed up for the OG team, and I'll have to ask you to cut two guys from your squad. Otherwise, the event just won't work. I am so sorry for this, and feel absolutely terrible about it, but it's the only way it will work.

PM if you like, and we can talk some more. Really sorry about this guys, I truly am.

Sorry to hear that Geoff, you will be missed.

Hopefully you can find a replacement as it would be a real shame for Scott to have to reduce our team numbers. Everyone, I'm sure, has made plans around attending next weekend - I know I have.

[BowmanvilleJim]

In the event that OG is a player short I suggest that 1 OG player play one on one match's against two TGN players (Tavistock cup style). That way no one else will be forced out.

That's a good idea, but it kind of sucks for those that were looking forward to the team aspect. We'll see what we can figure out. I'm giving it to Tues to hopefully find a replacement for me.

I like Jim's idea....as I'm honestly not too keen on having to cut 2 players that have been looking forward to an event that's been planned for quite some time now.

I hope you guys over at OG can get this sorted out.

[BowmanvilleJim]

This can be worked out without diminishing the event really.

[racmbs]

This can be worked out without diminishing the event really.

I'm positive it can....and am positive OG will be able to find someone to fill Geoff's spot. I just can't bring myself to have to choose 2 players to cut as we are all in this with our hearts.

If it really boils down to that, I will honestly not play at all.

[BowmanvilleJim]

As I said, something can be worked out so that no one has to miss out.

My question is, how do you determine who doesn't play in the team portion each day? It throws everything out of whack. Score tracking wise, etc. We'll see what happens.

[gr8glfr]

Anoher way to look at it? Would there be interest from someone on the TGN forum that is not already on the TGN team be willing to play for the OGN team. Just a thought.

lol..........blasphemy!...............a leaf play with a senator.............is it possible? do the two even mix?

[sharkhark]

lol..........blasphemy!...............a leaf play with a senator.............is it possible? do the two even mix?

I lived in kingston for two years and played a couple times with geoff...does that count as a former temporary easterner:confused:
of course the OG team would go from a guy who changes his clubs between the trunk and the course yet can still shoot par to a guy who 'looses' his clubs on the way to the course and passes par at about hole 14:p

PS for those that think I can't suck it up in the rain....this was our ottawa fun forum day

Let the OG player play 2 TGN opponents in lieu of the team portion. All it means is an extra point being played for. Let's remember this event is a fun event so no one should be dumped just to satisfy the scoring method.

I had the same thought.

sharkhark, are you saying you'd be interested if no one else from OG fills the spot?

[Timmeh]

Well if it wasn't my b-day weekend I would gladly come to fill in but I got a lot of parties planned. Although I am sure my uncle would like the suprise visit. But there are a lot of people I would let down by taking off. Any other weekend though I would be all over that.

Jim, I'm not worried about the points. I know it's for fun, but I just don't think it's fair to ask a guy or guys, to play alone when they were planning on having a OGer by their side both rounds. Part of this is to get to know some fellow forum members, then we send this guy out alone against two TGNers. Not saying you're bad guys or anything, but I know I wouldn't want to be in that position. It's a team event, yet he's out there alone. Just my point of view. Let's not give up on it yet, I'm searching for an 18th.

[sharkhark]

I had the same thought.

sharkhark, are you saying you'd be interested if no one else from OG fills the spot?
Yep....although did you notice geoff skipped mention of my post and is still furiously working the phones.....:phone:...He must really want to win:p

[Big Johnny69]

Scott, pm sent, I believe we have a solution.

The way you hit it, I'm not surprised.:rofl::eek:

Every time you tee it up it's a potential face-cracking waiting to happen.

Can't wait to watch you hit them 100 yards by me on the range.:p

Shouldn't compliment him so much on his length/strength, its not true.
He only hit my 7 iron at lionhead 140 yards, I do not consider that extra long.

.....well....actually that wasn't the ball...it was the head that broke off and flew 140...but........

It's shaping up to be a BEAUTIFUL weekend, weather wise boys! Last year we had a little bit of this and that, it's only fair that we are blessed with nice weather.

Ryder Cup isn't the only thing we've got going on this summer girls, I just refuse to divulge the goodies this early. :p :D

http://www.wildanimalworld.net/animals/mongo-lg.jpg Mongo was orphaned by his parents and had to be hand raised. We were more than happy to do it! This silly little vervet is such a great monkey, we never get tired of having him around. And that's a good thing because little monkeys need lots of attention. Mongo will ride on your shoulder all day long- he'll even fall asleep up there. How they sleep and hang on at the same time is a total mystery, but he manages to do it. Like most African/Indian monkeys, Mongo has blue skin. If you look closely, however, his skin is actually patterned with some pink throughout. And we'll never mistake him for another vervet because he has a hell of a drive!

[racmbs]

Is everyone up to speed with the rates for this event, at the course? I'm talking about the practice round Friday I've setup, and the 2 days of golf for both Saturday and Sunday.

As for the costs, Geoff and I will be skimming $5/player off the top to cover the costs of our expenses for the weekend, and to take home a nice souvenir for the wives as we've promised them and have put more time into this than we can remember. Couple that with all your b!thching and complaining about hotels, tee times, pairings, HDCP's, gas bills, car pooling, practice rounds, etc...etc....etc......I think $5 is pretty damn fair, don't you!

Hope you are all OK with this...because you don't have a choice.

Gentlemen, the calculations are in.

Day one match ups:

Geoff Johnston & Bouche vs. Golfer40 & Swaaain (TGN gets one stroke)
Hoolio & Geronomo vs. Corchard & Gr8glfer (TGN gets one stroke)
Lobwedge & Jvincent vs. Cdnputter & Bowmanville Jim (straight up)
Ironmaster & Indio vs. Braithwaite & Luv2golow (straight up)
Lance LePage & Chris St. Michael vs. Racmbs & Golfingoalie (straight up)
Gbower & Pinshark vs. Toughpar3 & Mule56 (TGN gets two strokes)
Wilster & Habsfan vs. Nobdyhere & Focal (straight up)
CaddyShack04 & Sakuraba vs. Leftygolfer30 & Songman (TGN gets one stroke)
Mattchew & Paulio vs. Albatross & Fresh (TGN gets one stroke)


Day two match ups will be determined on Sunday morning, but here are the team rosters, with indexes, split into the appropriate groups:

Team Ottawa Golf

Ironmaster (4)
Hoolio (4)
Lance LePage (5)
Bouche (5)
Geoff Johnston (7)
Lobwedge (7)


Jvincent (7)
Pinshark (8)
Geronomo (9)
Gbower (9)
Habsfan (10)
CaddyShack04 (11)


Sakuraba (11)
Chris St. Michael (12)
Indio (12)
Wilster (12)
Mattchew (12)
Paulio (12)




Team TGN

Luv2golow (4)
Racmbs (5)
Gr8glfer (6)
Golfer40 (7)
Swaaain (7)
Cdnputter (7)


Bowmanville Jim (8)
Corchard (9)
Mule56 (9)
Focal (11)
Golfingoalie (11)
Braithwaite (12)


Leftygolfer30 (12)
Nobdyhere (12)
Albatross (13)
Songman (13)
Toughpar3 (13)
Fresh (15)


As you can see, I've made three groups of six. For the singles on Sunday, a player can only play another player from the opposite team in the same group (1, 2 or 3). This way, no one has to hopefully give up too many strokes. For instance:

Leftygolfer30 could any of the following players on Sunday:

Sakuraba
Chris St. Michael
Indio
Wilster
Mattchew
Paulio

But he won't have to play any of the other 12 players on the OG side. This new change will hopefully bring a new level of excitement to the event.

Good practice round today, played like crap but hey it was fun. Can't wait to get out tomorrow and battle it out.

[luv2golow]

great practice rounds played today! Looks like everyone's ready to go, looking forward to some great matches tomorrow.

Bring it on. Bring it!

[racmbs]

Well, we've arrived in Belleville.....played a practice round.....ate some dinner.....caused a scene at the local DQ and disrupted an elderly couples evening out.....showered at the hotels, and are now relaxing to be ready for tomorrow's matches.

Trillium Woods is in GREAT shape, with exception to the greens being just a touch on the fuzzy side due to them being punched last week. Bugs were a little bit of a nuisance today, but with the abundance of Deet in our bags (sprayed so much damn juice on that my lips went numb :rofl:) the bugs weren't as bad as they were last year and pressed on.

Some great scores were shot today, and a few struggled and will leave it at that. TGN is ready to do battle tomorrow, and will post updates as the rounds are completed.

For now....I leave you with a lasting photo of the night after the practice round, a couples first drink and hopefully, not their last.

As usual...crazy things always happen during Ryder Cup that rarely get posted. I've got some doozie's on my camera, but thought I'd share a pic of Gerry's outifit for tomorrow's match against OGF.

Warning....make sure you are not eating when viewing this post, don't say I didn't warn you!!!
Nice headcover:rofl:

I will just say that I had a great time. It was everthing I expected and then some....see the photo of Gerry.

Cdnputter and I had a great match against Ryan and Jason (I don't know their screen names at OG) where we put a wuppin on them. Cdnputter's putter is awesome.

Today I went down swinging to a very long hitting Lance. He started the round by going driver, 5 iron to 12 feet on the opening hole (Par 5). He was 3 under thru the first 5 holes and had me 4 down. I was able to fight back to 1 down a few times before he finished me off 3&2 with a great par on the par 5 16th hole. This after he hit his drive in the pond.

I have no bug bites that I know of but I did get a blister on my big toe. All in all it was a great time and I WILL be back next year.

Hey guys...

I JUST walked in the door.....if you can allow me to grab a bite to eat and post the results in a bit, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

I do want to thank ALL of the 2008 TGN Ryder Cup members for taking the time out of their busy schedules, to come join in the fight to try and take home the cup. I hope you guys all had a blast, because I know I certainly did and would do it all over again, if offered the chance.

Cheers,

think he'd be in a foul mood after finding his room in this shape

Great weekend of golf, fantastic course, nice and sunny, buggy Saturday but fine Sunday. Very enjoyable matches against the OG boys. Quality pairings from our Captains, racmbs and swaain.

Can't wait till next year boys!

Thanks to bowmanvillejim and fresh for being my partners, I'd take either as a partner any day of the week. :cool:
