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.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
