Plans Forming for RRC 2012

Post date: Apr 11, 2012 7:37:26 AM

Happy New Year to all! 2012 will mark the 15th season of the Ronin Ryder Cup. Last seasons results have finally been posted along with the updated statistics. Membership demand has been high, so the tournament will be expanding again this year with 40 - 44 members expected.

The league officers met for the first time this year at Indian Canyons in Palm Springs for the start of the Ballbusters season. 70 mile per hour winds shortened the tournament to 6 holes, so RRC planning discussions were carried on at the Spa and Fantasy Spring casinos.

It was a no-brainer as the tournament will once again be held in Las Vegas. The tournament director has been inquiring on some courses the group has not played before. Primm is being considered for Monday’s round which may make it easier on members driving home that day. The use of a bus for course transportation is also being considered again.

Although it was not discussed, the popular Ronin Ryder Cup Series of Poker is expected to be a part of this year’s activities.

The team captains this year are Mark Kimura and Stan Kadohata. Each captain will represent their respective teams from last year. New members will be added to the teams based on handicap and approval from the tournament officers.

The tournament format is scheduled to be the same this year. Some new ideas on using handicaps to determine pairings were also discussed.

There are a few key dates to keep in mind:

April 15, 2012: Final deposits due to Donald

June 1, 2012: Start of Ronin Ryder Cup
