OK guys, I am ready to see you all on May 20th.  As of now we have 21 golfers and 6 tee times.  We can accommodate 3 last minute additions if anyone is interested.  As it is I see 3 Foursomes and 3 Threesomes.  I'm not sure how that impacts Erik's pairings or any of the side games.  That will get worked out.  Below is the current list:

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. 😉

We’re still putting together a fund for four white belts for @ChetlovesMer’s group, right?

I'll play with anyone, no preferences here. 

Looking forward to it.

I would love to play with @ChetlovesMer as we both have the same quirky humor! But I will play with anyone.

Thanks to Stu for working on the details and getting plans setup for the Michigan conflagration (Ooops, for the Michigan cohort).  Looking forward to meeting you and golfing in whatever group is decided. 

Thanks to the several others who have put in the effort to make this a reality.

Thanks to Iacas for getting the great weather lined up. I really didn't know if he could do that, but at this point, I am greatly impressed :dance:

WOW, I had a hole like that a few years back.  Very frustrating.  Only solution is to drain the putt.  😜

Group me with some short hitters so we can all tee it forward. Some of those par 4 holes look fairly long for this septuagenarian.

I know not the topic so just this one post, but if I didn't misunderstand this  saw on TV at a crowded that this round was cancelled because of the this hole being unplayable.

Could work.

Actually, here, let's do this… for the Little Mountain round… It's a par 70 owing to five par threes and three par fives. The tees are:

  • Blue - 6623 (70.6/130)
  • White - 6119 (68.5/127)
  • Gold - 5554 (66.6/118)

Let's do this: I'll take a guess at the tees you want to play, and if I'm wrong… let me know.

  1. @StuM - White
  2. @iacas - Blue
  3. @ChetlovesMer - Blue
  4. @dennyjones - White
  5. @boogielicious - White
  6. @billchao - Blue
  7. @saevel25 - Blue
  8. @bkuehn1952 - White
  9. @Divot Master - White
  10. @vasaribm - Blue
  11. @David L Yskes - Blue
  12. @Jeremie Boop - Blue
  13. @GolfLug - Blue
  14. @rwolfe - White
  15. @BradSomrak - Blue
  16. @DrizZzY - Blue
  17. @jtroutman - Blue
  18. @Greenshirt100 - Blue
  19. @brockman21 - Blue
  20. @Old1964 - White
  21. @Dwalk2088 - Blue

Ideally, we could have one white player switch to blue so we have six whites and 15 blues. Or… two blues go to white.

Thoughts, anyone?

If we can have seven groups of threes, I'll make a good game of that.


@ChetlovesMer, are you blue or white? @vasaribm? @David L Yskes? Two of you might be the blue -> white that we need.

I don't think we'll have any white -> blue.

Looks good to me. If we can’t get a white to move back then I’ll move up. It doesn’t matter what set of tees I shoot a 20 from 😉

I'll volunteer as tribute. White or blue works for me.

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

    • Day 146: putted for a bit on my mat. Worked on set up primarily. 
    • Following is going to get a lot of study overnight. CFP Selection Committee Protocol CFP Selection Committee Protocol One key section, assuming the need to pick between an undefeated Florida State and 1-loss Texas, Alabama & Georgia. (I believe Florida State is out if they lose) When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are comparable, then the following criteria must be considered: Championships won Strength of schedule Head‐to‐head competition (if it occurred) Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)  
    • yes I know at my local we have many different tee options(and combos) ... RED,SILVER,GOLD - Yellow,white,blue,black.. putting is by far where I lose the most shots perfect example in the SAT medal I had a woeful 36x putts for a total score of 82..even had a 4 putt on a PAR4!! So playing yellow below will not only take off shots but will force me to really play a much better short game to beat the course 3-4HC I'll get ... my best on average under HC scores comes from the BLUE tees ... the Black makes a few holes so much harder than the 3x extra shots I would get from the usual whites..  Also, I know if my goal was just to get to scratch I could just play the back 9 holes at my local course where I'm generally playing 1-3 over on a good day ..not far away from getting a few 35''s 
    • I came so very close to getting my first ever two Eagles in a round in WED COMP this week ...  4th hole PAR5 515 yards (stroke hole 1) ... after I drilled a lower strong drive to the inside corner of the Dogleg left some 240 yards out from one of the toughest elevated sloping downwards greens. I had thought of playing safe 4i get it within 20yds .. but I no thought I'd have a crack ... with my 18 hybrids.. hit it nearly perfectly straight (uncommon with this club) landed front of green rolled to the back green parallel to the pin still tricky side slope 12 ft to the hole ..aim high  dropped low side of the hole YESSSSSSSS!!! my first ever eagle on the 4th !!(tough hole) .. then continued the round till I came to the 11th PAR5 455yards (hole I've eagled several times before)... again strong drive 150-160yards out ...8i to land front of green rolled just past hole some 8ft past ....downhill putt very fast part of the green .. so soft tap ball ran true to move towards left of the hole in half the ball went around the hole and back towards me to stop a fraction out of the hole !!!! what!! never had that before. hit the ball fraction harder than needed !!!! took the birdie moved on gutted ... so close a putt that I should have got 
    • Got the 16th PAR4 birdie  .. in SAT medal comp ... a long very hard putt that just dropped somehow ...(couldn't do it again if I tried 50x times!!!)
