Hello all. I've been reading this forum for a few months and decided to join up. I've been a golfer all my life. However, I am a prime example of not achieving past your goals. My goal all through High School was to play college golf. So I worked hard and I was an All State golfer in Utah my junior and senior years and made it to play at Trinity University in San Antonio in 2003. I got the bag with my name on it and thought I had "made it" in a much lighter sense of the word. Long story short, I never got used to the pressure over every shot and struggled for 4 years just to stay on the team. Now, 2 years out of college I am working to get my game back to where it was. So count me in on having lots of questions and being a "student of the game" once again.

Highlights of my golf career:

1. Played Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, and Spanish Bay with my Dad on a golf trip.
2. Shot 70 twice (have never broke into the 60s)
3. 2 hole in 1's (hence the user name)

Thanks, Rick! what is travel golf league?

Little John Golf League   website is www.littlejohngolfleague.com

Schedule for events is on the website.  We play pretty much every other Sunday morning at a different golf course in the Greater Houston Area.  All play is stroke play and we payout 3 best net scores.  We have 2 flights split by handicap index so we pay out 6 places net.  We also payout closest to the pin on all par3s, most birdies front 9, most birdies back 9.  We offer an optional combined gross/net skins game.  Handicaps range from a +3 to 36.

Greetings! During the 1990s, I went to school at University of North Texas, at the other end of the state above Dallas.

Congrats on making it through four years of college as a golfer. I teach in a University business schoo, and I see what a time-consuming sport college golf can be - especially with springtime road trips to tournament.

Good luck on your game as a "big kid!"

Focus, connect and follow through!

Great.  You can register online and get email updates about each upcoming tournament.  You can also sign up for any one of the tournaments online also.  Would be great to have you come out and play.

    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
