It is now 2011. Before we blink, this decade will have passed, and the 20's will start creeping in. 2027 marks the centennial year for the inagural Ryder Cup matches, held at Worcester Country Club, Worcester, MA, in 1927. Captaining the American squad was Sir Walter Hagen, and for Great Britian, Ted Ray was captain. The remainder of the teams are listed here;

Not to say The course plays to 6650, par 70. (i think this number may be a little low) There is also plenty of room for tee expansion, but I doubt it would be needed. The 5th hole is a breeze par 5 playing at around 480-490, and if converted to a par 4 would be very difficult. The course would subsequently be moved to a par 69. but that is okay IMO. This is match play, and we want to see birdies!!!
What are people's thoughts on this???
