I assume we're playing net, so I guess it ultimately doesn't matter, but I think if you wanted it to be "even," the best should play with the worst.  1,3,5,7,9 have a slight advantage over the others since 1 is better than 2, 3 is better than 4, etc.  Maybe more like 1,3,6,8,10 vs. 2,4,5,7,9?

Forecast doesn't look as bad as I thought

They also said rain today and the sun has managed to break though!  hope its the same on Sunday!

So we want to do 2 - 5 somes??    everyone ok with that?

Sure.

Or ... I think most of us have not met in person yet, so in the interest of camaraderie, maybe we should do one tensome?

Can I take a higher HC too?  I've been making swing changes as well.  Feels on the verge, but wildly inconsistent right now.  I feel like I could show up and play like a 5 or a 20!  Have shot a 74 and a 94 in the past month...

Again, probably moot because we're presumably playing net, but just throwing it out there. :)

This sounds good to me.

OK, I just read back through the thread to find Beach's friends handicaps.  They are Andrew (4.5) and Mike (10 or 12, so lets call it 11)  Assuming all of our listed handicaps are accurate, I came up with this order:

1.  Mvmac ..................... 0

2.  Beachcomber ........... 3.9

3.  Andrew .................... 4.5

4.  Pakoh ...................... 4.9

5.  Golfingdad ................ 9.6

6.  MDL ........................ 9.8

7.  Mike ........................ 11

8.  Tristan ..................... 12.8

9.  Jimdangles ..............  13

10. Lihu ........................ 25

Maybe instead of my original assigned group idea, we just put everybody in pairs (most of the pairs HDCPs are pretty darn similar anyway) and we draw straws.  Mvmac and Beach will each draw a straw to see who's on A team and B team, then Andrew and Pakoh, then me and MDL, etc.  The last minute randomness might be kind of fun.

Or ...

Mvmac and Beach are captains and they pick their teams playground style!

and if we are playing 5-somes, does that mean we should take 3 best balls each hole for the score?  Or even 4?  Just give one guy on each team the opportunity to blow up, but after that, it's going to cost you.

Disclaimer:  I've never been involved in organizing a tournament format before so I'm just pulling these ideas from you-know-where.

Pakoh and I have to be on opposite teams.    Just kidding dude!  I look forward to doing whatever.  

I went to the range tonight... Lots of  shots were made.  But it is getting a little better.

It's 9am right?

i would be down to make the teams with Me and Mac on one side and you and andrew on the other!  that way it is HC 1 and 4 together and HC 2 and 3 together.  Just a thought.
