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.Β

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.Β

IΒ 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%Β score)
  • $5 total (best ball net 80%Β 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.Β 

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

At $25… And $5 for all bets, I'd do it like this… And we'll just assume that we have 22 with @dennyjonesΒ 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 @dennyjonesΒ 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?

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.Β  (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 futureΒ
