Adapted Tavistock Cup plays on

The Tavistock Cup, the golf world’s yearly paean to excess, was slated to kick off Monday morning at ritzy Isleworth Golf Club with names like Tiger Woods, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose and others slated to appear. But those three and a few others have some work left to do Monday at their normal jobs, as this year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational will require a fifth competition day to make up for some nasty thunderstorms wiping out most of its fourth.

The annual two-day exhibition match was originally a grudge-match between residents of Isleworth and Lake Nona and has grown to include four-man teams from Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas, Oak Tree National in Oklahoma, Primland Resort in the mountains of Virginia and Queenwood Golf Club outside of London.

This year’s intended format was to include a best-ball day Monday with two scores per team counting toward the competition score, followed by singles stroke play on Tuesday.

As it turns out, the golf world is treated to some Monday PGA Tour golf, which teed off on the Golf Channel at 10 a.m. Will Tiger capture his eighth Bay Hill victory? Probably. But what about his teammates from Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas?

The available member — Tim Clark — of Team Albany will be able to relax even more on Monday than he would have, as Monday’s Tavistock Cup play will be purely informal. The only “official” day for the match will now be Tuesday, which will be a sprint: Each team will count all four 18-hole scores and the lowest score will take the title. Who will it be?

Team Isleworth

Brian Davis
D.A. Points
Bo Van Pelt
Bubba Watson

The home team of Isleworthiness consists of one of Isleworth’s newest residents, Bubba Watson. The reigning Masters champion just bought Tiger Woods’ old house on the property. Perhaps some of that mojo will help him and his mates.

Team Lake Nona

Ross Fisher
Peter Hanson
Graeme McDowell
Henrik Stenson

The Nonites will have a good amount of experience playing Isleworth as well, as they have no problem scaring up invites to cross-town money games there. An all-European team, perhaps some stellar play could get them a little extra consideration from Euro captain Paul McGinley when the 2014 Ryder Cup rolls around.

Team Albany

Tim Clark
Ian Poulter
Justin Rose
Tiger Woods

The Albanites are the unquestioned favorites in this competition. Poulter is a match play master and even though this will be a stroke play event, he is in good form and the compressed time frame will be beneficial to him. Rose and Woods will be duking it out on Monday at Bay Hill for the big bucks and Woods used to live at Cup host Isleworth.

Team Oak Tree National

Rickie Fowler
Charles Howell III
Bob Tway
Scott Verplank

We might as well call this one Team Cowpoke, as all four Oak Tree Natives played their college golf at Oklahoma State. Will they be depressed by their favorite college basketball team’s premature exit from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament? Not likely.

Team Primland

Fred Couples
Bill Haas
Jay Haas
Webb Simpson

The Primlanders include the reigning U.S. Open Champion and a recent FedEx Cup Champion in addition to two Champions Tour players who can still play with the younger set on a given day. This squad could surprise.

Team Queenwood

Martin Laird
Tom Lewis
Paul McGinley
Adam Scott

The first two Queenwoodsmen have the opportunity to impress the third, 2014 European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley with some stellar play at Isleworth. The fourth, Adam Scott, is the most accomplished member of the team. Potential darkhorse here.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
