2018 TGC Ryder Cup Matches

[mthunt]

Here are the instructions and matches.

All matches are held at:
Le Golf National (Protee)
the course is 6,365 yards

Here's the instructions and rules:

Step 1:
-Reach out to your opponent via Private Message on this forum.
-Set up a 2-4 hour window to play
-Please ensure your name in TGC is the same as it is in this bracket. If not, let your opponent know.
-Decide who is starting the game and inviting the other/others to play

Step 2:
-Add each other as friends in TGC using TGC nickname
-This is done at the start up screen where "start server" and "start game" is by clicking the icon with 3 heads then add your opponent.
-Both have to do it

Step 3:
-decide on a method of communication
-You can text, whatsapp, Discord or phone each other. If you don't agree, we default to Discord


Step 4:
-Both/All players enter TGC and go to main screen where you click play
-The host player now enters the match by clicking the little arrow in the first box that defaults to "Stroke Play" (do not select Match Play) then "advance". Click "all courses" then enter the following course in the text box:

Le Golf National (Protee)

-start the round as you normally do. While on the first tee open the menu (esc) select "CHANGE RIVALS" then "FRIENDS LIVE" Click on your playing partner it'll bring him to the tee. The Discord guys do this all the time. Note: do note use match play.
-Before hitting a shot, both players now need to click settings, turn order, set to on. This will allow you to see your partner play in real time. Other wise, you'll appear as a ghost ball. You can have it off if both agree. If you don't agree, on is the default.
-Because you cannot use match play mode you must manually score your match in stroke play mode. You may use the concede hole function if out of the hole.

Step 5:
-Post on this thread who won. If you are unable to complete a match each team get's a half.

Good luck and feel free to post any questions or PM me.

mthunt totally up to you. I didn't see the sign up so that must be the reason. I am more than willing to play but I can also sit this one out if it wouldn't be fun for the other person. I have never played with anyone live so that part is interesting. Let me know what you think is best. I really don't mind either way.

[Harch84]

Hey mthunt we seem to be struggling to make contact with mikestuewe to arrange our fourball. Not sure if he is still interested in playing or seeing messages etc. The other 3 of us in the group and trying to arrange a game for tomorrow morning. Perhaps if we dont get a response by this eve someone else is ready to step in?

That sucks. He must be out of commission. If someone from the us side wants to play an extra round speak now. I would and will be an extra but am not available tomorrow morning.

[Smudge7204]

Id prefer Sunday evening as Tiger is killing it right now, so if that works for Mthunt then he could sub for Mike

I'm on the West Coast but could only do my evening, if not the morning (e.g. 6pm onwards). May be too late for the East Coasters?

I could do about 9am or so PST also tomorrow which would be midday for East Coasters and before most of Tigers round?

[Laboroflove]

mthuntSimorris76 Any chance you know how we can get in touch with simorris76? The three others have agreed to play tomorrow at 6:30 Eastern but we have not heard from simorris76. Scheduling this is proving to be quite a challenge. What do we do if we don’t hear from a player? chefrank NetcheK

[mthunt]

If you cannot schedule a match you can substitute someone from your team or 1/2 point each. Scheduling is always a challenge.

[rjd1975]

There was a post with sign up. I don't think you did. If you did, I'm sorry. Someone dropped out so can replace him if you like but his handicap was higher so it won't be a test for you.

mthunt I am happy to play if you want and I don't care whom I play. However I won't be upset if you decide that I don't play. Please let me know either way. Thank you sir.

[mthunt]

Please fill in. Reach out to the opponent and give it a go,

Excellent singles match with Harch84 ..It was a close one all the way. Laboroflove takes the match 2 and 1 for Team USA!!!!

A truly awesome game which pushed me to shoot my lowest score yet in sim play. No shame in losing to someone as skilled as LaborofLove, especially when he shoots a 75, but sad I couldnt bring home a point for the team!!

[rjd1975]

Ok sounds good. mthunt who am I filling in for?

Hey rjd1975 we need someone to fill in for mikestuewe in our fourball, you would be playing with cmckelvmi . Is that good for you? I can add you to the message group on it if so.

Harch84 I am willing...when are you guys looking to play?

[Laboroflove]

Great round today with chefrank NetcheK Well played gents. Team World was missing one player, so it was a tough one. Not sure of the rules so attached are the scores in case their 2nd player eventually shows up if thats allowed. If not, rack up another one for Team USA. 7 and 5.

[NetcheK]

Well done guys!
Hope my teammates are going to fix that lost point in the other games!

[NetcheK]

HI mthunt,
No news from penrose for my single match.
Maybe I should wait before searching another partner?
When would the games officially finish?
Thanks for your help.

[mthunt]

There’s no timeline on a finish. It’s 2 matches each so I’m hoping 2 weeks should be enough.

[Harch84]

An extremely enjoyable and competitive match ended in a 3&2 victory for Europe/Rest of World. Some great shots and play all around from rjd1975, cmckelvmi & Smudge7204.
