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. 😁

Found this vlog of The Virtues, figured I’d share with the rest of the class 😉

Thank you to everyone who was involved in organizing this outing and for everyone who came to be a part of it. It was great to get together with some old friends and meet new ones.

I would be up for it as long as it does not interfere with my LIV event flash mob participant schedule. I'm not allowed to say anything until February though. Other than that I'm always free.

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.

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.

@iacas didn’t present it as an option. 

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

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.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
