The International: DEAD!!!
No more "Modified Stableford" scoring and no more PGA golf in the Denver area.
And I'm sure the players are already mourning the loss of the famous International milkshakes.

Sounds like Castle Pines to me. I never much cared for the "Modified Stableford System". But it does seem wrong that there will be no PGA tournament in the Denver area.Dinsdale wrote:Wasn't that held at that one course(can't remember the name of it) where they have that one tee where they just bomb it off a cliff, and even Cory Pavin rings up 320 blasts?
That was always a hoot to watch.

Good. That fucking tournament dicked up the fantasy league scoring every year.
The guy that had the best round of the day wound up with the 20 points while the guy in second would get about 6 and nobody else would get any points because Yahoo is too fucking stupid to alter their standard fantasy scoring system for the Stableford.

Ive attended the International for 4 of the last 5 years, and it was always entertaining. They just couldn't get the big draws on a regular basis...so no endorsments.
Raise the price of the milkshakes...people will pay the money, and get Tiger in there at least once.
It's great coarse and a fun one to walk. I'll miss it.

And maybe it had something to do with that ridiculous Modified Stableford scoring system. Maybe they should go back to the original Stableford scoring system.

Good luck getting Tiger. His schedule is shrinking, not expanding. If you haven't seen him in your town yet, you better hope your town gets a major or just forget it.Mile-Hi T wrote:Ive attended the International for 4 of the last 5 years, and it was always entertaining.

The ink was all but signed, But Peter Jacobsen kinda fucked it up. According to my super-secret inside sources, two US Opens at Pumpkin was a done deal. And just about the same time, they agreed to move the Tradition here. That was all well and good, except they then rethought the US Open dealio.
And the Open is now booked out through, what...2018, or something like that? Although if there's any changes, rumor has it that any discussion of replacements would be for show, and the next open Open date is going to Pumpkin...but we'll see.
Although I didn't attend(one of my golf buds did), Tiger did win an Ameteur Championship at Pumpkin Ridge, and lists it as one of his favorite corses. And since the PGA sucks Tiger's dick(as they should), it makes sense they'd favor that course, or possibly even The Reserve(where they played the Tradition, up through last year, now in Sunriver).
Sidenote -- how Tiger has evolved -- my friend says when he watched the last day of that US Am, that Tiger didn't pull his driver out of his bag all day. That course is long, too. He just hit 2I off every tee, and kept it in play.
I got 99 problems but the 'vid ain't one

problem with the International drawing a good field is it was 1. the week before the PGA and 2, it makes NO sense to go play at altitude in a "go for broke" circus format if you are likely going to go play somewhere usually in the northeast or upper midwest in humid conditions for the last major of the year (a possible career maker) where the winning score is about 10-12 under.
I'm surprised the Int. got stuck with such a lousy spot on the schedule since the Vickers family and Castle Pines is serious old school oil money....i've always thought they'd have more pull.
