Actually, I will let you have this one.  We're gonna beat you so badly this weekend, I'm going to feel sorry for you. (Although, if I was a betting man, I'd put my money on Brandon or Jetfan)

What do you expect from a brother?  I tried to look for a negative skin but I couldn't find one.

Oh dear, this will be hard to live up to. This awards speaks volumes to: a) the immaturity of my fellow members, I mean seriously, how the hell did I garner all these skins? Was it the fart jokes? b) how very little I care about my actual job :-P [quote name="Beachcomber" url="/t/54183/monthly-award-winners-thread/100_100#post_851441"]Nice job Ernest Jones!  Speech, speech!! [/quote] I'll make a speech For my good pal Beach One of the first To try to teach Me how to swing This crooked thing At the ball That makes us fall In love with the greatest game of all Ahem, well anywho, I can't even begin to tell you all how much this place means to me. I have golfing buddies but they are only into golf when they are actually playing whereas I can blather on non-stop about golf under any circumstances. To say I love this game is an understatement but it will have to do. This place lets me feel normal in my obsessiveness. Anyway, thanks. PS: how awesome is it that I received this award on the same day that I shot my all time personal best 47-42=89 on a par 64 executive course. That back 9 was only one shot off from being bogey golf! Gotta improve my driver now so I can get'er done on a big boy course!

Perhaps any of us who have accumulated that many skins should start a therapy group?  We all have issues!

Congrats on your all time low score!  Keep working hard, and good things will come.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
