It seems most were born on US army bases in Germany and would probably not be eligible for team the US Military bases located outside the US territory legally are not considered US soil (like an Embassy, for instance) it's quite complicated, but basically if both the parents are from USA, you are still American for sure (but you can apply for the German citizenship, too, even if there are some limits and you also need that you and your family have the official residence in Germany for a few years...and those enrolled in the military troops have even more rules to follow) Edited October 20, 2023 by phelps Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If golf is going to be in the Olympics this is necessary. Is it really the right word "necessary". Golf with a men's and women's event seems perfectly fine. A mixed event is good, if you would like a "show". Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpjmcevoy 233 Posted March 21 #610 Share Posted March 21 6 hours ago, AlFHg said: At least, they’re going to exploit more a venue It's important for a couple of reasons 1) it showcases matchplay, which has been lacking, despite it arguably being the more watchable format for virgin viewers 2) it gets more use out of the venue My proposal? 12 Teams of 4 - 2 men, 2 women. in three groups of 4 - Highest ranked nations are offered 4 spots automatically, before kicking into single rankings If more than 12 teams are possible, the strokeplay aggregate is used to rank top 12 teams. Max 1 team per NOC in final 12. Matches over 9 holes in group stage, with nearest the pin tie breaker if all square after 9 Matches scored on the 2pts per hole won, 1 per hole tied basis - first to 10 therefore wins. Match halts at that point Each 'rubber' consists of three matches - men's singles, women's singles, and mixed foursome. 2 matches wins the rubber, match scores 10-x used like goal difference if required. Top 2 per group plus next best 2 to QF, again over 9 holes Group matches could easily be done in a day, 2 at most Then semis and medal matches done over 18 holes over next two days, or next day Total holes for medalists (9+9+9) Group + 9 QF + 18 semi + 18 medal = 72 holes.over three days - (27) Groups (27) Quarter and semi (18) Medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
