How is 7 groups of 3 going to work with carts? I assume most will ride. I usually walk.

Everyone is riding.

There are several long distances through a subdivision between a green and the next tee. When I used to play there a couple times a year, cart fees were included in the greens fee and cart use was all but mandatory.

It’s one of the courses that for junior events where they must walk they provided several shuttles.

Measuring one of the paths through the neighborhood, it is just over 1/4 of a mile from green to the next tee box. It looks like you need to do that walk twice (6-7 and 14-15).

Long walks are…

3-4, 6-7, 14-15, and… kinda 17-18. You mostly missed 3-4.

Anyway, everyone's riding.

@StuM can make up the scorecards… so be prepared to give him a handicap index by the 19th of May. That's this Friday.

Text him or send him a DM. That way he can prepare the cards before we get there.

If everyone puts in $20 (please bring it in fives and ones!)… let's do these:

• $5 Net Skins
• $5 Gross Skins
• $10 Game below.

For the game… $30/team with 7 teams is $210 total. Payouts:

• 1st: $105 ($35 each)
• 2nd: $60 ($20 each)
• 3rd: $30 ($10 each)
• Last: $15 ($5 each)

All that is still off the top of my head. Subject to change, and @StuM has the most latitude to change anything. It's "his" event.

The Game:

• 3 golfers over 18 holes is 54 scores.
• Of those, you must choose 30* scores (@StuM will choose a number from 27 to 36). You must choose the scores you're going to use or not use before you tee off on the next hole. You must use the required number of scores.
• Those net scores relative to par are your score for the hole. (i.e. so a birdie is a birdie, even if it was on a par five).
• You can circle the scores you're using and write the net score down below (i.e. a birdie and a par is -1 total, with two scores counted) along with a running count of the number you've used.

Anyone from the Erie area interested in carpooling there?

I was just going to give a list…

• @GolfLug, @boogielicious, @billchao, and I will ride together.
• @Divot Master will be coming (I think) from the Erie area.
• @rwolfe, you @jtroutman, and @DrizZzY could carpool. Perhaps with Marshall (DM one bullet up).

Make sure you're all getting your indexes to @StuM, please.

I'll make groupings (not pairings, @StuM! 😄) as we get close to the date.

DM me if you have any semi-strict preferences. I'll keep them in confidence. I know 16 or 17 of you don't want to play with me, and NOBODY wants to play with @ChetlovesMer, so… I'll do my best. Bwah ha ha ha. 😉

So, I'm absent from the forum for a few days and Yoda starts giving me crap. 🤪

BTW - I know I haven't been posting lately. ... still working on my game just haven't been online much. But I am still coming to this meet up. AND I'm looking forward to it.

I'll figure out the game later, but I have some ideas.

[StuM]

Looking forward to seeing all you you this weekend.

I've gotten a few emails with HCPs.  If I do not get a message we will just use what is on your TST Profile.  Now would be a good time to make sure that is up-to-date.

We are going rain or shine and current forecast is a high of 74 with 46% chance of rain, which means 54% chance of no rain.  But that is a few days away so we will see.

 

Also, sorry about the change from Groups of 3.  As Erik posted above we will have 3 Foursomes and 3 Threesomes starting at 1pm.

 

[boogielicious]

Do we want the foursomes ahead of the threesomes? Won’t that slow the threesomes down?

Just play at a 4 hour pace and they will be fine 😉.

Also, not sure we want groups waiting around 30 minutes for other groups to come in.

We will be playing two balls..😁

You won’t need to play a second ball because the rules official is in your group 😉

Yah, and I hear he is a bit of a pill about rules (eye roll )..😜

Nah. 😄 If you don't send a handicap index, you'll be given the lowest we have (probably mine). So if you're a 10.1 that wants to play to a +1.5 or something… don't send in your index!

It usually rains more in the evenings this time of year.

Yes, and no. Foursomes can play as quickly as threesomes. And y'all have to wait until the last group is done anyway.
