OK boys and girls, I received my "Save the Date" card today for the golf tournament that I know of that is played at Oakmont, yes THE Oakmont, each spring.

The date of the tournament is April 9, 2007, approximately 2 months prior to the United States Open!

Last year, the cost was approximately $3200 per foursome, $2800 of which was tax deductible.

So who wants to play? Bonus points to anyone who can find a company\sponsor willing to fork out the entry fee for us. Remember, for consultants or sole proprietor's, etc - a $2800 tax deduction is a good thing!

In My Bag:

3-Wood: Mizuno MP-001, 13°, Harrison Striper Titanium
Hybrid 1: TaylorMade Rescue Mid TP, 16°

Fahoo, what is the format for the Tournament? I don't have a corporate sponsor, but I might be able to do it and get one of my buddies to come along. I'm guessing it's a scramble, best-ball?

Yeah, it's a best-ball format. So that's the only downside really that I see. I've had a number of people tell me its not worth it since its best-ball and you don't actually get to play your own ball the whole time. But really, who cares that much that they'd pass up an opportunity to play Oakmont?

Send me a pm if you want to talk some more about it.

You play your own ball in a best-ball. If it's a scramble, you don't.

I'd play, but not in a scramble.

Yeah, I"m a moron. It's a scramble format. I know better than that.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
