theoretically, couldn't we just do 2 1-1's rather than all 4 of us having to line up the same time?

and just keep track of all 18 holes scores?

I blame Team Europe.

Theoretically, no. When you're playing as a foursome, and you see your partner has made a very poor shot, you can adjust your strategy and play the hole more conservatively in anticipation of a bad score from them. Or, if they've already got it to 10 feet, you can try to hit the perfect shot to get it close where you're risking blowing it completely due to added spin/draw/whatever.

Friday afternoon for me (PST), or anytime (pick something and let me know so I can keep it open) Saturday or Sunday.

Let's at least get on the same page for something this weekend.

i'm doing jumping jacks and playing fetch with Shea when the other people are taking their shots.

i'm just trying to figure a way to get this done.

Exactly.

Hell, let's all 4 play on our own, log our scores for each hole, honor system, report back, and figure out who wins and let's move on!!!

Or you guys could respond to whether you can play tomorrow around the time I posted or what time would work this weekend.

Not that hard!

My way, we'd be done by now. Just sayin...

I got family coming into town tonight, so i'm hit or miss/gametime decisions for the next 10 days.

i'll definitely be able to play somewhere in there, possibly even tomorrow, like I said, it'll just be more of a late decision on when I know for sure.

I think on that day you learned why i don't drink any more on gamedays. Ain't nobody got time for that!!!

That was the least I've ever seen you drink in my life.

It was sad really.

It was like watching a wounded soldier just die right in front of you.

I think I went home after that and drank like 10 beers to cleanse myself.

I think team USA should just forfeit just to make things interesting.

Seriously, just play the rounds 1v1 and record scores, and we'll figure it out. This thing has lost all steam, it's been two weeks now. It's obvious that meeting up for all four will be tough, so work around it and meet up in pairs, or have someone spot each of your rounds. I'll gladly spot someone or two to get this going.

thank you. Appreciate your help.

Another idea.

If we can find a night, we can do the 4some but play stroke play so we can all at the same time, So we'll finish up in 20-30 minutes and we can tally up the match play score from there.

Im out tomorrow I work. But Sat evening later say 9pmish or 10pmish. Sunday I have a Grandfathers Bday party. So evening I would be good.

I think that will work fine.

And per Matt's times I can be free 9 or 10 pm EST Saturday.

I'm heading over to a friend's BBQ at 3 pm PST. I may be home by 7 pm PST, but since there has been no response from Team Europe as to their availability, I'm not going to hurry home or plan for that.

I'm free Sunday evening EST as well when Matt posted that he'd be free.

Team Europe? Anything? Forfeit?

Team Europe posted an alternative that would work for everyone and you just ignored it. Why would we forfeit?

I said the alternative was fine, and Team USA has posted times for their availability while Europe has not.

I should be around tomorrow evening.
