Manitoulin Island Country Club Golf Course Review
Now most of the time I'm not to keen on just playing a 9 hole course but Manitoulin Island Country Club was a refreshing change. We ended up playing 9 holes two days in a row so that was pretty cool. Manitoulin Island Country Club golf course is situated just a few minutes from Gore Bay and it's on a nice piece of rolling property. All the holes are set up using the natural contours of the land and even some of the shorter holes are very challenging considering the variation in elevation change.
The thing I really like about the course was the fact it was very challenging played from any of the three tee boxes. This has alot to do with the small crowned greens which were very tricky. If you had a downhill putt you had to be careful you didn't carry it to far or you might be off the putting surface. The first day we played it was after a day or two of heavy rains and the course was fairly dry all things considered, the next day things were even better. So it obviously has pretty decent drainage. From the whites the course consists of two par 5s(440yd/420yd), 2 par 3s(125yd./155yd.) and 5 par 4s (from 286yd. to 343 yd.).
So it's not a long course but the greens and hilly terrain make for an interesting experience. At $20 fro 9 holes you really can't go wrong with the price either. They have a nice little clubhouse where you can have your favorite beverage while you see the rest of the golfers come off the 9th hole

Ryder Cup Day 1 Pairings- Need To Know Info
And this is what you need to know about the formats for those not sure:
Fourball (four groups of two two-man teams): A match in which each member of the two-man teams plays their own ball. Four balls are in play per hole with each of the four players competing. The team whose player has the lowest score on that hole wins the hole. Should players from each team tie for the best score, the hole is halved.
Foursomes (four groups of two two-man teams): A match where two golfers play together against two other golfers and each team plays one ball. The golfers play alternate shots (player A hits tee shot, player B hits second shot, etc) until the hole is played out. Team members alternate playing the tee shots, with one golfer hitting the tee shot on odd-numbered holes, and the other hitting the tee shot on the even-numbered holes. The team with the better score wins the hole. Should the two teams tie for best score, the hole is halved.
Singles (12 groups of two one-man teams): A match in which one player competes against another player. A player wins the match when he is up by more holes than there are holes remaining to play.

- entries must be posted no later than 10:00pm 9-18-08 (entries received after said time will not be honored)
There is a possible 28 points available that the US and European teams will be competing for. Each match is worth a point and ties are halved. Each entry must have your name, user name, winning team and the final scores of each team.You must also include the name of the player you think will clinch the win for his team. This part will only be used in event of a tie between members.
***One thing different than with the majors contests - YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME PICK AS ANOTHER MEMBER.***
Entries should look like this:
Erik Olsen E Man USA 17-11 Tiger Woods
-In the event that there is still a tie(more than one member picked the same scores,team and clinching player) we will have another tie breaker to be
announced, in the event it is necessary. If there are two we'll play rock paper scissors. More than two and we'll draw from a hat.
-Any and all decisions/changes regarding the contest shall be made at the discretion of the TCC management.

If VJ has problems with his tempo tell me hackers like myself definitely need something like this. I know I've struggled at times with my tempo. Check out the video below of VJ using the Swing Tempo and comparing the sound to a light saber from Star Wars. I definitely could see VJ as a Jedi.
