Links Corner Forum

Just wondering why this is not being played this week?

I see the course in the Links Library.

Des,

I believe because it is a two man team event we really don't have a way to make teams and play along with them.

Jim

That would be something of a rarity on the tour.

The next things will be 4 man team events with also individual winners ...

Des

Yeah somebody should give that a try and here's another little wrinkle to add, go to places all over the world that don't normally get professional golf tournaments! We might be onto something here!

They've been doing it since 2018 and have just extended their deal through 2030. There's got to be a way to play best-ball as well as four-ball (they use both formats during the tournament) by swapping yourself for a player you don't like then adding his partner from our stock of available platers in our stash.

Other than that, I guess you can just get some practise time on The Blue Monster.

That's what I've been doing, played rounds on the wrong version, then realized was wrong version and played on the correct one. I remember they took Doral off the schedule and thought it was because the current owner wasn't maintaining it to what the Tour expected, but haven't found anything that corroborates that.

I just looked at the scoreboard-the cut was ten under and last place was even par.

Perhaps we didn't want to be playing then ....
