I thought the Olympics was for amateurs? It should be for the CC only players. It might be once all the pros drop out because of Zika...but no, all pros are going.

Currently 7th in the UK list by my reckoning. Could slide down to 8th or even lower after a disastrous Open so plenty of incentive to do better over the next couple of weeks.
Not big on Olympic Golf at all but it will be the biggest event happening here that week so well worth qualifying for.

Gotcha .. Jeff McPhee jumped past me so looks like he takes the last spot, unless someone decides to withdraw. I gots a little time tho. After the PGA championship. Still, I haven't raised a single point since Jan. LOL Unfortunate that we've got 4 Canadians all sitting in the 30s just below the bubble. Could be a tight race between Chris, Jeff, myself and yourself over the next month, lots of WGR points out there with the 2 majors still. Yah it's going to be tight. My form has been questionable as of late (other than last week), and my performance at The Open was also not too great. Going to be on the bubble, should be interesting. Guess it's time to step the game up for the next couple weeks, really want to get into this thing.

I feel like the top players get to participate in all the special events while CC folk (& WEB) get left out of stuff. Community events fill that gap - even then, running a ryder cup for 25 of the 800 CC players still leaves a lot out of the fun - they are exclusive events and from a Tourney Director perspective - they are a lot of organizing and manual work - so I generally just follow the real rules and that usually ends up being the top golfers. I can't do ryder cups for everyone - it's a real pain to keep track of.

Shame your not allowed to change country as I'm Scottish, Irish and German and since uk and Irish sides have plenty to choose from, I could have been German for the Olympics lol to help fill up that team.

If you qualify and don't play because there is nothing up for grabs but a trophy, I hope you lose the trophy at least.
