Will be playing multiple rounds this weekend, but only one course that I will be playing is listed on the participating list. I will make a donation that will make up for it though. I think it is a wonderful idea.

From a guy who has been in the military for over 18 years I just want to say thanks to all of you who support the military! I do not care what your political views are, these men and women fighting out here in Afghanistan are truly amazing... If you could see what they have to endure everyday it would humble you! Shake one of thier hands and by them a beer...

Semper Fi!

i was not aware of this program, thanks for bringing it to my attention!  the course i had planned to play today is not participating, so i may have to switch my plans around a bit and play one that is.

Thanks for serving and that goes for your wife as well... I think those who do serve see a side of life that one only is able to see while in the military! My Marines out here in Afghanistan are working 16 hour days easily, have been doing it for 3 months and never complain. I drive them until I think they are going to break and they just do more, it is insane...

Cheers

I got to enjoy a round this weekend and help donate.  Got on as a single and was paired with three guys, one of which is a fighter pilot in the Air Force.  What are the chances of that?  Thanks to all who serve this country!!!

I was really disappointed when the resort I played at this weekend wasn't participating.   I mentioned it to them and they appeared unaware of its existence.

    • https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/handicapping/world-handicap-system/world-handicap-system-usga-golf-faqs/faqs---calculate-course-handicap-and-playing-handicap.html That's up to you and the league. You can do a percentage, or just do 100%. If they're already salty about a 12.4 becoming a 10… I don't know that docking it to an 8 with 80% will go over all that well. If the higher handicaps are winning way too often, a percentage is often warranted. It affects them more than the low handicappers (22 x .2 = 4.4, 2.2 x .2 = 0.44).
    • Of course, what I also should have asked is "what handicap should be used in a league? The "Course Handicap" or the "Playing Handicap" and if the latter, what allowance should be made for non-elite stroke play competition? (95% of C.H.? 90%? or forget about the playing handicap altogether?
    • I'll keep the rule only if the water is visible above the surface either where the ball is placed or a normal stance would take place. If not, play ball. I took this the same as a divot, just bad luck. Adjust for a saggy/wet lie and hit the ball. (maybe put on your rain clothes before :D) 
    • Day 302 - 2025-07-29 Slowly bridging the gap between the academy and the course. And by "slowly" I mean SLOWLY. Played 18 today.
    • I started Foundation on Apple TV.  So far, season 1 is fantastic. Starting season 2. The actors are great with standout from Jared Harris (Hari Seldon) and Lee Pace (Brother Day).  So far it gets a highly recommend.
