TheSandTrap Socal Golfers - Spring 2013 Outing - Discussion

[jefkve]

Well, I hope to be there by 7 as well, but it depends on my alarm clock, traffic, and my navigational abilities.

Here's what I have now. We'll do the best 3 out of 4 scores for the scoring, and the MVP of each team will still be the golfer with the most total points earned on the winning team.

I'm planning on being at the course at 7 on Sunday.

I looks like my brother won't be joining us on Sunday after all. It's not 100% yet that he's out, but I'll know for sure tomorrow.

Then find a replacement. It's too late for cancellations. We have four foursomes at this point.

This is this coming Sunday?

Looks like some of you play from the blacks and some play from the blues?

I wish I could... he ended up in the hospital last Saturday... it turns out he has scleritis and has lost vision in one eye... it seems to be getting better and he thinks he is going to make it on Sunday but I really doubt it. He said he'll let me know tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your brother. Find a friend as Plan B?

Tristan if your brother is unable to play, I may be able to bring my Uncle. I haven't spoken to him about it so I have no idea if he's available. If he is, I'm sure he would play

[Pakoh]

our team will win regardless Tristan!

We'll see about that!

I've never played Modified Stableford before - heck, I've never played unmodified Stableford before, and I don't even know the difference - so just to give myself an idea of what I'm shooting for, I took a few old rounds and figured out what I would have scored (giving myself 8 strokes using the 80% handicaps Erik figured).

My two best rounds of the last year came out to 43 and 45, and a very mediocre round from last week came in at 33.

I guess I'm looking at somewhere around 38-40 as being the over/under of a decent round.

So I talked to my brother today and it appears that the meds are doing their job well. He's regained most of the vision he lost and he says he can make it on Sunday.

Guys my husband wanted me to send this out to you all, he on on his way home,

His mother had a stroke this morning he is trying to get on a stand by flight north now. He did not want to leave this open and  wanted to thank you all for the hard work.

He sincerely apologize for not making this weekend.

Regards Chris (hacker101) wife.

Wow... very sorry to hear that. I hope she is ok.

I have a buddy who is interested in playing... I'll know later tonight if he can play for sure. Big C, you may want to check with your uncle after all.

[tristanhilton85]

Update:

After making a few calls I got two guys who are interested in playing.... One said he'll let me know for sure either way tonight. The other is going to Arizona tomorrow and is suppose to come back Saturday night but might not be back until Sunday morning. If he is back on Saturday night he said he'd want to play if the spot is still open but he won't know for sure when he is coming back until Saturday. I'll post what guy #1 says tonight. Big C, check with your Uncle, if he can make it than that takes care of everything and we're back to foursomes and I'll tell guy #2 we're full. If not then hopefully my buddy is back from Arizona on Saturday. I really do think that both will end up coming through though.

Hopefully they can both make it!  See you tomorrow at 5SK, right?

You know it!

[mvmac]

Erik and I will see you guys tomorrow at 9

[tristanhilton85]

The guy that said he'd let me know tonight can't make it... Hopefully the other guy will be able to. I'll know about that sometime on Saturday.
