Are we going to get instructions ahead of time for the slower people in the class so that I don't have to figure out what I'm doing 20 minutes before I tee off? It's this, right?

Are we playing as teams, or individuals, or whatever? I need to know if I'm going to be wearing a white belt to f*** with @ChetlovesMer.

@billchao, 2 things. 

1 - I'm one of the slower people in the class. ... almost for certain. Having said that. I like the game. I say let's do it. My personal opinion is play it net, with 50% handicap. What say you all? 

2 - Wear the white belt at your own peril. The white belt will be like an albatross around your neck....  The Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner kind of albatross, not a double-eagle kind of albatross. 😁

It's not too hard:

You count two scores per hole. One player's score always counts (the A, B, C, or D player that alternates), and then you must count one of the other three players as well. Net.

That's all.

It's not a vote, boys. It's already decided. 😛 Everything is 80% net and it's a team game.

Ok so someone’s score must count if they’re up, and then the second score would be a wildcard from the remaining members of the group? For a foursome does that make 17 and 18 wildcard holes and we take best two net scores?

Yep.

And for those with threesomes, the last three holes are wildcard holes.

Sounds like fun to me.

I think @StuM will want to know what tees y'all plan to play. Since the colors get mixed up, but the yardages are almost the same, let's call the tees "Back" or "Middle" or "Forward":

At EagleSticks, your options:

• Back - Gold - 6508 - 68.7/123 [Link]
• Middle - Blue - 6124 - 66.9/120 [Link]
• Forward - White - 5493 - 64.5/112 [Link]

At The Virtues:

• Back - Blue - 6664 - 72.3/134 [Link]
• Middle - White - 6180 - 70.2/127 [Link]
• Forward - Gold - 5641 - 67.4/122 [Link]

If your handicap index is a 10.0, for example, you would get:

EagleSticks - Gold: 8, Blue: 6, White: 4 [((10.0 * 123 / 113) + (68.7 - 70)) * 0.8 = 7.7]
Virtues - Blue: 10, White: 8, Gold: 5 [((10.0 * 134 / 113) + (72.3 - 72)) * 0.8 = 9.7]

The links are appropriate for each set of tees, but won't multiply the results by 0.8, of course.

@StuM, I'll play the Back set.

[billchao]

I’ll play the Back tees.

Thought you were going to play the 7,400 tees at Virtues since you haven't shot 100+ in a while 

 

Back tees for me at Virtues on Sunday.

@iacas didn’t present it as an option. 

Don’t sell me short, I can still shoot over 100 from 6,600 yards 😃

[DaveP043]

I'll play the middle tees both days.

[iacas]

I think we just need @StuM, @vasaribm, and @CarlSpackler to let us know what tees they'd like to play.

And if anyone knows anyone for @David L Yskes's spot… still open.
