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?

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:

Oh jeez.. as if it ain't hard enough to get TO the greens. Poor ladies are prolly too young for a beer to drown their anguish at the 19th hole.😟

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.

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 😉

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

    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

    • Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
