    Default Paris Olympics Golf

    So which Aussies are selected for the men and the women? Has an announcement been made?

    I assume Min Woo and Adam Scott or is Jason Day pretending to be an Aussie this year?

    Women MinJee and Hannah? or Grace Kim?

    Why not? He’s currently the 4th highest ranked Aussie on the OWGR. If the AOC bases selection on that and 2 of the 3 ahead of him don’t want to go, he should be in. They might also just pick him because he went when others weren’t interested last time.

    It’s a field of 60. The yanks have nearly half the top 60 on the OWGR but can only take 4 (because they’re in the top 15 OWGR) and each country can take 2.

    There’ll be blokes ranked 150+ who are eligible.

    Olympics golf is utterly pointless.

    Is the Silver Slovak going to run it back?

    Would he get picked? He seems to have completely disappeared since last time. There might be other Slovaks more deserving (but I've never heard of them either).

    I pay attention to Olympic Golf the week before it starts. The most interesting part about it is who qualifies from each country, and will they go.

    On the other hand, when the event is actually on, I'll be watching it.

    So much good golf around Paris, I might have been interested if it wasn't at Le National.

    At 1129 unlikely but it looks like the Tosti man will get there.

    Isn’t Tosti Argentinian? Why would he knock out a Slovak?
