THE OPEN Week is here.
Get your teams ready.
The tournament runs July 18-21 at the course Dale Moser would play if he could play a twosome with Ian Poulter and drink gin and tonics garnished with a cucumber spear.
Here’s to strong, swirling, cold winds and unrelentingly wet weather for four days. I will be pleasantly surprised if the greens are fast but I believe they will likely be running about 10. Weather forecast for Monday is mid 60s
. From Tuesday on the forecast improves to mid 50s, lows in the mid 40s, rain possible everyday and wind 20-12 mph +. 
The field is set but The Committee cannot load it on the computer and will post it tomorrow.
RULES:
* Pick 6 players for your team. After the final round we will total your 4 best scores for the 4 rounds for your team’s score.
* Losers send Ol'Abe to the winner
* Team entry dead line **** Wednesday July 17, at 12 midnight.
* if you want to change a pick on your team.
**** It must be (1 player named and added) for (1 player named and removed) by Wednesday midnight****
note: If you have a player on your team who does not start the tournament then that player has really put the screws in you because he cannot be replaced.
* Playoff - Rules will be the same as the The U.S. Open
Playoff rules to be announced and it will be some version of the RDM method. They are being tweaked by the IT Department and will be posted. The final rule will be a blind draw from the official hat so there will be only one winner of the Ol’Abe.
Go ahead and start picking your teams. Remember there is an advantage to picking early in the event of duplicate teams.
Maybe it was the PGA where we put a premium on picking your team early. I'm too tired to look right now and will find it tomorrow.
Good luck!
