And here I thought it'd be somewhere in Nebraska. Thanks for the heads up, haha! :D

We may not do state v state this time around, but a golden farm animal (provided by 2015 winner Team Iowa), will be up for grabs.
 
not that i'm totally for sure, but I would think we could probably say this will be a Ryder Cup format, or similar. Not sure about doing singles, but maybe. And maybe it will be actual teams of 6+, or maybe it'll just be 2 man teams.

One thing is for sure, it WILL be awesome.

For singles, you could do 2 9 hole matches and then just have 2 players from each team play each other and switch who they are playing after 9 holes. Just a thought.

I'm going to go ahead and put my vote out for teams larger than two-somes. Hopefully, at least 6 per team. Having that multi person team aspect adds to it, IMO.

I agree. Larger teams are more fun to me. As seen here.

I'd love to see larger teams, it would probably be easier logistically too.

Ohhh the memories. Iowa has sure been fun the past couple of years. Can someone get @hawk to get himself out there this year? Maybe we can just pull him out of the house on our way through :)

I vote for 6 man teams.... but it'll depend on how many folks we can get to come. Seems we have a tough time getting above that 15 man limit.
 
Even if we end up with some odd number, we are going to make it work. The more peeps, the merrier.
 
Not that anything is set in stone, because it's not, but I believe we could probably set this up to be 2 teams. Probably appoint a captain, who can name co-captains if he chooses to, and then in true ryder cup fashion, set the lineups for the actual competitions.

This allows the Iowa outing to be flexible, both for the inevitable last minute drop outs, and additions, of attendees.

Someone may have to just call out Hawk for that one....and Jrod.

But yea, if we do 6 man teams and get 15 people to attend, the easiest solution is to have 6 per team compete per round, and have some 'sit out' (of course, they still play, just not accumulate points). Much like the actual ryder cup, where not everyone is playing for their team every round. And again, that also makes it easier for last minute additions and drop outs.

Yeah, we do a Ryder Cup event in October with 2 teams of 30-36 guys. It works out well.

Works for me as long as you're on my team!

I'd be up for that, I'll even volunteer to be a captain!
 
I agree with the more than two person teams and obviously I am in for whatever it is.
 
I can't stop thinking about these.....

Thanks @manlai!!
 
I'm liking the Minnesota contingent we are seeing here.

All I can say is that I really hope this is on a weekend where I can join as it's a ton of fun.

I will block off my calendar for the year until a date is finalized ....or until my wife has to put in for her summer vacation.

Should move it to Council Bluffs/Omaha area....so it can be more of a boarder war event.

Plus, if this finally works out for me, I'd love to attend! May and June are my two "bad months", outside of that, I MAY be able to work something out.

ALSO, Team Kansas? Who's coming with me?
 
I am in no matter the date. Great group of guys, comfortable play and a lot of laughs.
