I'm on the side of thinking that something is not right here and should be reviewed.
Let say that their course rating is pretty low, so their index is higher than it should be. But if they always play at their home course they are probably going to play bad away from home so it should even that advantage out or at least lower it down.
Also you can say that they are amazing players under pressure and very skilled in match play format, but at the end of the day variance and luck is always going to play a big role between 2 players of similar handicap.
Let's assume that player A have 75% chance of winning a match over player B that only have 25%, there is no way that a player's skill in match play can make such a difference in a match outcome but I prefer to use a number that is hard to argue. (For me.. 60/40, or 65/35 at most)
The odds of winning 21 straight matches with that generous odds are less than 1% (or 1 in 420). Is this proof that they are "cheating" or something, of course not but is evidence enough to note that something is not right and should be reviewed further.
UPDATE.....Please read
We still have time to add more golfers to both days, June 1st & June 2nd
At this time he have reservations for 20 golfers on each day
At this time we have 17 for Saturday at EagleSticks - Room for 3 more
At this time we have 16 for Sunday at the Virtures - Room for 4 more
Please post ASAP if interested.
I need to give a more final count May 17th.
They will accommodate a fluke last minute change but lets try to iron this out to they can sell tee-times if we do not need them.
It will also be hard to add tee times.
COST:
If you are golfing both rounds AND staying in the "Stay & Play" hotel the cost is $252
This includes Golf on Saturday & Sunday and Saturday night in the hotel (See below for hotel info.)
If you want the "Stay & Play" I need to arrange that.
If you ARE NOT staying in the hotel the cost is as follows:
Sat. June 1st @ EagleSticks = $80
Sun. June 2nd @ Virtues = $120
You will notice the "Stay & Play" deal is hotel for only $52 extra which is a great deal. If you want in on that let me know!
Saturday tee times are: 10:15, 10:24, 10:33, 10:42 and 10:51
I will try to get those spending Friday Night in the hotel in the early groups to allow others more time to drive in.
Sunday tee times are 9:00 9:09, 9:18, 9:27am and 9:36
Saturday after the round we will have an area at EagleSticks to gather for prizes, food & drink.
Sunday after the round is currently un-planned
If we can guarantee 16 we can reserve a small room but there would be a hard charge @ $20 per head at the Virtues and we would have a simple buffet
Likely we just grab a beer a dog and a table as available.
Let me know if you think a more formal plan for Sunday after the round is needed.
The "Stay & Play" hotel has changed
Double Tree in Newark
50 North 2nd Street
Newark, OH 43055
740-322-6455
If you need a hotel for either Friday or Sunday nights you will need to book on your own.
I was give an estimate of @ $249 for the Double Tree and do not know if there are better offers elsewhere.
I will be arriving Friday, hoping for mid-late afternoon and would love to meet up for dinner with any that are in town.
Time & Location TBD
Below are the names & have confirmed:

47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭
Phillyk is very close by.
Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.
