OK folks, it's time to find out who's interested in participating in the tournament this year.
Quick overview: Age 34 and under is automatically assigned to team YG. Age 35-49 gets to declare their loyalty. Age 50+ is automatically assigned to team OG.
If you're interested, post below, with your age. If in the 35-49 age group, also post your preferred allegiance.

I probably won't be able to play a round any time in the near future so I volunteer as a cheerleader for Team YG. Also, if you guys need any help with scorekeeping or organization, I can help with that, too.
This will (hopefully) be our 3rd annual OG/YG. If we have enough people who want to participate, we'll all play a par 72 course. The round must be declared before it's played, and the scores from that round must be reported within 24 hours of completion, otherwise it's tossed.
Team YG plays from the tips. Team OG plays from one tee box forward of the tips (except those like me who declare - we play from the tips). Total strokes will be added up, divided by the number of participants on each team, and the team with the lowest stroke total wins.
This is up for discussion, but that's about as simple as I can think to make it.
Planet Earth CJ. It's impossible to get everyone together for a tournament, so you "declare" a day to play on a par 72, and post your scores for your team. We'll work out a 2-3 week time frame for everyone interested to get their round in.
No handicaps. It's straight-up total strokes. As many young guys as we have on their school's (college and high school) golf teams, I think Team YG may have a distinct advantage this year. Everyone who wants to plays, regardless of how well they play. If I understood it right, we had several members post 100+ scores last year.
For anyone who cares, the event is currently tied. In 2005, Team YG won. In 2006, it went to Team OG.
