no problem, I know his personal issues as well. He's doing pretty good and won a bunch of events this year. He's gonna be bigtime real soon.

How about this -- everyone plays one round of each. You could even do it Ryder Cup style, with points for match-play wins.

Sorry, my original post was a bit unclear- that's exactly the idea, each player will have a round of both sports and combined scores would determine the winner. Would be interesting to see if Woods or Michelson could throw some plastic, or would a pro discer with a decent golf game take it?

Would love to see a match-play challenge as well.

I like the idea, it would definitely raise the profile of professional disc golf. Don't know if any ball golfers would go for it though, but it'd be something cool if the PDGA would pursue it.

And as far as the lineups, go with four players who play both sports and play at least one of them at a professional level. Brad Hammock comes to mind; he's won the PDGA Worlds in the Masters division and is also a very good ball golfer. Then I can't remember the name, but there is also a PGA touring pro who recently took up disc golf. We need those types of people on board. I also like the idea of having a senior and female player of the team (maybe even a collegiate player ).

Throw enough $$$ their way, and they'd do it. Unfortunately PDGA doesn't have the sponsorship muscle to get the big bucks, but maybe the PGA would throw us a bone.

Bubba Watson plays both sports. I have been thinking about trying to get some people to casually play a couple of rounds like this, one golf and one disc golf.

We should have a team of baseball players vs a team of football players. They would each play their own sport and whoever does best would win.

Let hockey players play against a team of curlers to settle who rules the ice.
