Texas Teams Update 2006

Texas Teams will be held November 18th and 19th this year. Circle R Ranch near Wimberly will host the event once again.

From the website www.circularproductions.com ...

The Concept

Every course in Texas is invited to send a team. Teams may also represent schools or other organizations. Some courses send more than one team.

The Format

Teams compete head-to-head, so when A-Town plays B-Ville, A-Town’s #1 plays B-Ville’s #1, A-Town’s #2 plays B-Ville’s #2…etc. The team that wins the most individual matches gets the victory.

Rounds are 9 holes, and it’s all match play, so it’s not your total score that counts – it’s how many holes you win.

Most teams will play 4 rounds on Saturday and 2-3 rounds on Sunday.

Entry Fee

$45 per player. Every player gets a tournament sweatshirt, a tournament disc, greens fee, and free lunch on Saturday. Camping is free for Texas Team Championships.

Team Makeup

There are two divisions – Emerging and Established. Smaller towns and newer courses compete in the Emerging division. Teams consist of 6 players: 3 Advanced and 3 Intermediate.

Bigger cities and older courses compete in the Established division. Established teams have 9 players: 2 Pro, 2 Advanced, 2 Intermediate, 1 Master, 1 Amateur Woman, and one “swing” player (Pro Woman, Grand Master, or Advanced Master).

Payout

No cash, no prizes. It’s all for team pride and fun. There will be trophies for the top teams, plus awards for Best Dressed Team and Most Spirited Team.

-----------------------------------------------------

There are only 9 spots on each established team...

Open Pro (2)
Pro Master (1)
Advanced (2)
Intermediate (2)
Am Woman (1)
Swing Player (Pro Woman, Grand Master or Advanced Master) (1)

I know there were many who felt left out or just didn't know about the tournament till we had already made up teams. so if you are interested in playing let's start talking about it now.

Some communities have had a tryout to determine the spots.

If we have enough players we could field an established Team A , B and C or have an emerging team (3 advanced, 3 intermediate).

So lets hear your ideas on this.

[vinnie]

Are we still thinking about having a team golf league before Texas Teams?

[seewhere]

I think we should do something and than start getting the teams togehter to practice the different formats to see who plays well together for the sunday alt round that killed team 2 last year

[nix]

word™

definitly want to play this year. We have plenty of courses, so we could send plenty of teams. Just need to be sure to have our strongest players form our best team so we can kick some *****....

[mikeharrell]

[Tazamp]

[vinnie]

who is a captain...I was last year and would be willing to let someone else have a chance at it....It a whole mess of fun.
And I'll play ware needed.....

[seewhere]

not sure I will also let someone else captain a team if they want too. lets talk more tomorrow at the ROCK

[BeTheMachine]

B--->pro1 or 2

[Lala]

Looks like I've lost my spot this year unless we need a swinger . I'm happy to be team mom & feed everyone (I'll take request as this get closer). Match play sounds great for a league before Teams - what do ya'll think? We'll have about 9 weeks after the singles league is over - it'd be a great filler maybe half big course/half winter course after the time change? Lot's of opportunities, let's talk Friday @ Wilco & Sunday @ Lago.

Great idea Lala (did I just say that?!?)

Houston has a thread?

[the_kid]

I may need to reserve a spot for 07' as I may be in Austin for college.

[seewhere]

we will be discussing Round rock texas team issues prior to the round tomorrow so if you have ideas and or want to be a captain or play I advise you to be there to discuss.. see you guys tomorrow

[nix]

wont be able to make it to the mini, but I would still love to play teams

[seewhere]

ok I will ensure your name is in the hopper. By chance do you want to captain a team?

[nix]

thanks, but no thanks. been there done that. Let someone else giver a try.

[jamie]

I would like to play if needed also, but I won't make the mini---some of us have to work

[seewhere]

ok Jamie I will write you down

[Tazamp]

When are we having try outs?

[Lala]

The Next 10 weeks of league play will help shape the Round Rock Teams. We'll start next week getting the hang of match play with a few weeks where we play 21 holes with 3, 7 hole matches against everyone. Then we'll divide down into the divisional spots & play 3 more rounds 21 holes, 3, 7 hole matches. These 3 weeks we'll be playing for most of the spots on the Teams. There are some dragons that can't make minis & are interested in spots, so not every spot can be decided by this league. By the time that the time changes, we'll have 3 weeks before Teams & we should have the teams decided & be able to set the teams against each other. We'll have to change to the winter course then & will have to start slowly pushing the start time back from 5:30. It'd be nice if we had a few people interested in being captains...

[vinnie]

I can puTT a captain hat on.
I will sitting out a few Wednesdays....but you can count me in. I could find a wig and a skirt.....gussy up a lil.....boom, that girl can throw far

[Lala]

Funny Vinnie says he'll captain & the board goes blank for hours.
The positions for each 9 player team are: 2 Pro, 2 Advance, 2 Intermediate, 1 Master, 1 Am Woman, & 1 swinger (Advance Master, Pro Woman, Grand Master)

Yeah it would be like a Friday or Saturday night for you

[seewhere]

so what exactly will be going on tomorrow? not sue I follow the 3 7hole matches? how many folks are on a card and do you keep playing the same person for those 3 matches just different formats?

[vinnie]

I would figure it to be 4 on a card....you would play each person on your card for 7 holes
