Dunno but the forecast is not good. It's going to be a grim week end.Are we winning? -
If there is masses of standing water on the greens and in the sand then normally play would be suspended until they can get rid of it. They're working hard to shift it all but if it keeps bucketing down it'll be a thankless task.
Is it normally so late in the calendar? October?Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

fed ex cup from wiki
The FedEx Cup is a championship trophy for the PGA Tour. Its introduction marked the first time that men's professional golf had a playoff system. Announced in November 2005, it was first awarded in 2007 after a NASCAR-like points race. Jim Furyk is the current champion. This competition is sponsored by FedEx.
The PGA Tour has adjusted the rules around the FedEx Cup in each of the two years since its introduction in 2007. Each set of changes was introduced to address issues that arose the previous year, particularly with the playoffs portion of the FedEx Cup.
In February 2008, the changes were designed to allow more golfers a chance to improve their positions on the points list as the playoffs progress. The changes involve a tightening of the playoff reset points and awarding more points to playoff participants. This is effectively a penalty on those players that skip a playoff event.[1]
In November 2008, the changes were designed to help ensure that the championship would not be won until after the final playoff event. This resulted from the fact that Vijay Singh had accumulated enough points through the first three playoff events in 2008 to guarantee that he would win the Cup by simply finishing the final event.[2]
still makes no sense

right - i've sort of got it
you have the normal PGA Tour season - in each events you score points.
At the end of the season - the top 125 players, go to the fed ex cup playoffs - there is three playoff rounds.
Each play off, reduces the the 125 players (ie you miss the cut your out type thing) - so after the 3rd and final play off you are left with 30 golfers
You then have the Tour Championship in which, the points system does something crazy so that any of the top 30, going into the final event still have a chance of winning the Fed Ex Cup - though those at the top end, have a better chance than those at the bottom
- you following shaggy?
the reason for this is - vijay singh had accumlated so many points in the play off rounds that, going into the final event he had won, no-one could catch him and it was a waste in time playing.
What i don't understand - The Tour Championship or playoff events - is the playing field restricted to only those competiting in the fed ex cup - or is the fed ex cup something that coincedes with the normal events - ie like at my old golf club, they ran an Eclectic competition, that recording everyones scores for every hole throughout the season, meaning that going into the final comps of the year, people still had prizes to play forLast edited by PTP; 01-10-10, 10:28 AM.i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i doComment
