I have been thinking up a match play event for some time. I've tossed several ideas around and think I've settled on a battle between Ohioans and those from Michigan (Michiganders?). What I'm thinking is Ryder Cup style matches over a weekend rotating back and forth between the states, that is one year in OH and the next in MI and so on. It would be 9 holes of Fourball, 9 of Greensomes, and then 9 holes of singles matches. Greensomes is like foursomes, but both players tee off and you pick the better shot and alternate in from there. We could do it all in one day (9 holes each format), or spread it out over 2 with 18 hole singles matches on Sunday, or we could just do 9 hole singles Sunday morning. there would not be a handicap limit, but we would pair like handicaps together to even it out.

If you are interested in participating in this, chime in below.

Carl, I'd really be interested. But my schedule sucks so much ass right now. 

When are you thinking? If you are talking August/September I've got a shot. If we are talking June, I'm probably out. Unless you are going to do it down the street from me. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

It would probably be September. Hopefully we will be over this COVID craziness by then, and it takes a while to organize these things. The further out we throw a date on the calendar, the easier it is for people to get it one their calendar too.

Do you know of others up there that would be interested? @Braivo sounded like he would be interested. I would like to get at least 4 on each side to start.

Sweet. We need to recruit some more people and pick a date. My band has a gig on 9/12, but I'm otherwise open.

I’m game if we could figure out how to divide this up.

If PA can get anyone to play with them like New Jersey maybe we could do a bigger event

    • I'm in Missouri nowadays, but the opposite corner of the state from St Louis. I don't mind traveling if a group was planning a tee time though.
    • With all of my wedges/short irons I have 4 main shot types that I use to hit the ball different distances with different trajectories. I have my "normal" shot with standard yardage and ball flight, a "knockdown" shot with shorter yardage and lower ball flight, a "3/4" shot with shorter yardage and normal ball flight, and a "1/2" shot with shorter-still yardage and normal trajectory. Of those shots, the only one with a swing that is intentionally different in any way is the "knockdown" shot where I move the ball back a little and keep a bit more shaft lean at impact. Multiple sets of irons and wedges ago I used a shag bag and a big field to measure out how far I hit each of those 4 shots on average with all my clubs 8i and below, then I printed out some homemade shaft labels and put them on the corresponding club for easy reference. Nowadays I don't do that (they get damaged and fall off too quickly/easily without real shaft labels), but I do have those distances noted on a laminated sheet I keep in my yardage book cover. I rarely carry an actual yardage book, it's mostly just to keep my scorecard dry and intact now that I live in a more humid climate where sweat doesn't immediately evaporate, but it means I can have a typed out sheet of these yardages handy at all times without taping them to my shafts. So long as there isn't some forced carry or super slippery greens conditions that would necessitate a shot with more spin or higher trajectory I've found this to be much more consistent than just using a 60* for everything inside its full swing yardage and trying to tell the small difference between a 70% swing and an 80% swing.
    • I've always wondered what those wrenches were set to. I'm sure I could have looked it up but I had never remembered to look it up. Nice.
    • If you have a decently equipped shop or set of tools you may have all you need. A golf wrench is just a T25 torx bit on a torque-wrench set to 40 in.lbs. 😁
    • Just some clarifying questions: Has anything changed in regards to… who you play with, when you play, your health, romantic life, your financial situation… anything? When's the last time you worked with your instructor(s)? Has it been awhile since you got to 12, or are you still continuing and doing the same types of things? Have you focused more on score lately given your time/$ "investments" and not as much on enjoying the playing, the company, the golf? Has golf become a task instead of an opportunity?
