I believe that was last month and it was great to hear.

 

[Smallville]

December 18 actually. First time I heard about it.

 

[DDBowdoin]

the competitions would be dominated by a few countries... anyone else agree?

 

[Smallville]

Depends. Are pros playing?

Guess they'd have to since they let pros play everything else.

 

[DDBowdoin]

if its pro's...

mens

usa
maybe britain / s. africa
australia

womens

usa
korea
japan

I hope they do get it included, but at the same time I'd like to see it restricted to true amateurs like things used to be. I'm tired of watching all the pros in the olympics nowadays. :bad:

 

[DDBowdoin]

honestly... I could go without it. We have the ryder cup, presidents cup, walker cup, junior ryder cup...

I'd rather see an increase in coverage of the number of international events that already occur throughout the world.
