I predict a massive USA victory. The UK & Ireland team is a compromise at best.

It is called Seminole, not the Nole

UK travel restrictions say legally permitted reasons to leave the country are: 

work, volunteering, education, medical needs, and to attend weddings or funerals.

 

This doesn't seem to fall under any of those categories.

Really not sure how the GB&I team are going to get on this year. Those that are based in Britain will have had a precious little in the way of golf. I wasn’t sure about the move to May in the first place but adding Covid to it, suggest a potential disaster and a rout for GB&I.

The Nole is my 3rd favorite course, behind The Aug and The Riv.

Two fairly low-key teams this time. I'm told Ben Schmidt could be one for the future.
