"Golf is happiness. It's intoxication w/o the hangover; stimulation w/o the pills. It's price is high yet its rewards are richer. Some say its a boys pastime but it builds men. It cleanses the mind/rejuvenates the body. It is these things and many more for those of us who truly love it." M.Norman

I'm sure Mr. Miller is an excellent choice but isn't it odd to pick the next captain before this year's matches are played?

I agree, Jeff. It does seem a bit early in the game but that's the USGA for you!

Its' done to help expose and acclimate the future WC Captains to the logistics, protocol, and experiences of the upcoming event.

Saw Spider play a practice round at Augusta in the late 90s after his mid Am win. Seems like a great guy
