Both chip off and putt off have been suggested. Both seem kind of anticlimactic. I understand why players hate penalty shots to win the World Cup, now.
take the scorecards from the rounds and add up the scores from the hardest handicapped holes at each course, lowest wins. If you're tied there then move on to the 2's, etc..
I hate scorecard playoffs. In high school we would always go to the practice green for chip off or putt off. Since then I think every incident has been resolved by extra holes or just calling it a tie.
We talked about doing it Ryder Cup style where you just halve the hole. But the thought was it might take away from the pressure of that hole that's worth 11 holes on the last day. Considering we play for nothing more than bragging rights and victory dinner, it's not like there's a lot riding on this. But something about a hole that's worth 9 holes puts an amazing amount of pressure on you even with nothing on the line.
This is my hood. Whiskey Creek and Musket Ridge are fantastic. Never played MD National. Little Bennet is fun for a muni. Make sure you ride. F PB Dye. Played it once, will never go back. Worst design I've ever played. Thanks for hitting a drive down the pipe, now go find your ball in the ####.
Has Worthington Manor had a rough patch or something? When we went 4 years ago, it was beautiful. But all of the recent reviews I've read say that the tees are dirt and it's not in very good shape, especially for almost $100 a round.
Yes, they're going with the "confusing beginning" approach where somebody is going to be -10 before they even tee off.
I don't like the way they are doing it this year. Has to be a better way. If its Koepka with a 10 stroke lead, give him the money now.
Think I'd take Rahm now. Granted he's not "best career to never win a major" but he's really good IMO.
That's the tournament of champions you are thinking of which is in Hawaii in January to start the real season.
It's paid out as an annuity down to 5th place iirc. Like a lottery. Cash option on these is less than a John Deere
Am I nuts to think that the tour used to be all the champions and some X wgr? What is wrong with that?
He didn’t make the Tour Championship last year either...hasn’t won since The ‘17 Open.
When they started the Fed Ex (I think in 2007), I thought it was dumb. It felt like finding an answer to a problem that didn't exist. They wanted some type of "playoff" to boost ratings make the season more meaningful. The way they are doing it this year - at least on paper seems like a better solution. Last year (an other previous years) in reality you would only have 3 or 4 guys that could actually win it anyway. They are trying to a) not go up against football (reduced it by 1 tournament) b) get rid of the tournament winner and fedex winner are different people. (Which I don't think it is a big deal). Last year Tiger won the tourney but Rose won the fedex cup. Its the same thing Nascar has , someone will win the last race but someone else is the champ. At least this way is a "winner take all" approach. Again, not sure why it actually matters, its not rewarding someone who had a great season, its rewarding the guy who is playing great the last 2 weeks
You don't get the "bonus for winning" - you get the bonus where you finish in the top 30. Winning put Thomas in the top of the rankings (although wining a playoff event is worth more points than winning a regular season event) Thomas winnign put is point total higher than anyone else.
