Random:




For the golf, they were playing similar to Ryder Cup; there are 2 different team events and 1 singles event. Usually in RC they don’t keep traditional score, only scoring (won or loss or tie) for each hole played. In looking at the attached Results, the numbers don’t seem that similar to the scoring results for RC, so not sure.
