Team Formation and Draft Process

  • Choose Captains: This is where it all starts. Have two guys who will take control of the process and add a level of energy. While the two captains should be of similar golfing ability. Basically, we need the biggest shit-talkers in the group to take on this task.
  • Have the Captains pick teams: Draft occurs about three weeks prior to the trip by zoom meeting. This gives the Captains ownership of their squad and plenty of time to start talking smack.
  • Teams: 12 players per team / MEXICO VS USA, including 1 playing Capitan.

NOTE: All teams were chosen by the captains prior to each match. One captain would throw out at team and the other captain would match it. With that said, they tended to massage the matchups to make for interesting pairings.

Tournament Format: RYDER CUP 3 ROUNDS

Stinger Journeys
  • Round 1 - Fourballs: In four-ball, each member of a two-man team plays his own ball, so four balls are in play on every hole. Each team counts the lowest of its two scores on each hole, and the team whose player has the lowest score wins the hole. If the low scores are tied, the hole is halved. Its match play, so the team who wins the match, gets 1 point for their Whole Team, the losing team gets 0 points, if halved, ½ point for each team.
  • Round 2 - Foursomes: In foursomes, each two-man team plays one ball per hole with the players taking turns until each hole is complete( Alternate Shot). Players alternate hitting tee shots, with one leading off on odd-numbered holes, and the other hitting first on even-numbered holes. The team with the low score on each hole wins that hole. Its match play, so the team who wins the match, gets 1 point for their Whole Team, the losing team gets 0 points, if halved, ½ point for each team.
  • Round 3 - Singles: In singles, each match features one player from each team. The player with the lower score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved. Each match is worth one point, with matches ending in a tie worth ½ point to each side.
  • Playoff: In the event of a tie between the teams, the tiebreaker will be conducted as follows: each team captain will choose one of their players to shoot in a par 3, and the player whose shot lands closest to the hole will secure the victory for their team.
