That's typically per group, but I think you're saying we can do it off points and just have the three competitions: front, back, total. Maybe $5 each, with $5 going toward skins?

Yes.

I honestly don't remember what we did there.

We did best points net two- man teams, but only overall IIRC at Beaver Creek. 80% handicap. And top three individual nets got a little something.

think he just meant front, back, total. Three little competitions. That way if you have a horrible front nine you can still compete again on the back nine.

FWIW Little Mountain has five par threes.

So that's $5, and so maybe everyone can just kick in $25:

  • $5 front (best ball net 80% score)
  • $5 back (best ball net 80% score)
  • $5 total (best ball net 80% score)
  • $5 net skins (same 80% handicap)
  • $5 CTP (first group out has some special markers with enough space to write the name)

Yes, that's it. The three individual competitions - front, back and overall are great for big groups. 

The $25 set up sounds like a winner as long as no one has a strong aversion to it.

At $25… And $5 for all bets, I'd do it like this… And we'll just assume that we have 22 with @dennyjones just adding to skins if he can play.

22 players is 11 teams… so…

Skins

  • $110/(# of skins) [$110 = 22 * $5]

Nassau (Teams)
$110 * 3 (FBT) but divided up this way:

  1. $20 / $20 / $70
  2. $10 / $10 / $60
  3. -- / -- / $50
  4. -- / -- / $40
  5. -- / -- / $30
  6. -- / -- / $20

CTP
$22 each. Or $23 if @dennyjones is in.

That's just off the top of my head. Feel free to make changes, offer suggestions, etc. I tried to distribute $330 fairly. If you win the front or the back, it seems likely you might win the overall. But even if you sweep, that's $110, which is 1/3 of the pot, which kinda feels fair, too. Maybe?

I'm in even if my golf swing isn't.   I can lose $$ even when healthy!

Yep. I may look like a wounded duck, but it will be fun regardless. We need our handicaps to be handicapped. 🤣

I never play to my handicap at the beginning of the season, with or without injury.

LAST CALL, if interested in Saturday May 20th at Little Mountain in Ohio I need to know by April 15th so I know whether or not to "give back" a tee time so the course can accommodate others.

I hope that there are no cancelations but I can accommodate cancelations to April 30th.  (to be honest, May 5th is the date I need to give a final count but I do not like to be a "Last Minute Guy".)

Looking forward to seeing you on the 20th.

Sat. May 20th - Little Mountain

Dude, I would love to…but I’m gonna be at the lake with the family that weekend. We just got a new jetski and wakeboarding tower for the boat and the I’ll be pulling the boys around the lake all weekend. I appreciate the invite though and would definitely keep the carpool idea in mind in the future

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
