Bummer that justapitin can't make it, my daughter might need to make it this fall/late summer?

So, it looks like its going to be me and Kaili.

less than 2 weeks left....

[mvmac]

So we're at 19 players?

[bplewis24]

Everybody speak up!  Or should we PM players for confirmation?  I'm in.

Ok cool, sent an email to Mark, one of the pros.  His response

"Thanks for the update, I had you booked for 16 players, to accommodate another group I moved your first group to 7:52am ."

[tristanhilton85]

Ok, here are the groups:

We'll be doing a modified stableford and the points will work like this...

The best three scores on each hole will count. Since Group E only has 3 people, all of their scores will count on every hole. However, since they don't have a throw out score, they will play with 100% of their course handicap where as everybody else is playing with 80%.

At this point, I have everybody except the kids playing from the blue tees. If anybody thinks this should be different, please let me know.

Just in case anybody wants to see it, but doesn't want to dig back through the thread, here is the scorecard:

[mvmac]

Thanks Tristan!

[bplewis24]

Can't wait!

Now excuse me as I go train my core muscles at the gym so as to be able to increase my "average distances" by the time I play with you all in real life.  Those internet distances don't just show up in person on their own, you know?

I know there are some holes that are very tough from the blues. So why put 20+ cappers at the Blues? Just curious why we don't help some of these folks by moving them up a box to play the whites to assist with pace of play, etc.

I'd recommend doing that, but ideally do it so you have two and two in a group, or an entire group of whites, etc. That way you're not stopping both carts at two tee boxes every hole.

[bplewis24]

If you switch up Golfswine and jefkve, you can get an entire group playing from the white tees.

Just throwing that out there, I have no opinion on this since I don't know the course nor the players.

[tristanhilton85]

Revised groups:

Kids and those with handicaps above 20 are playing the white tees.

I'm looking forward to it and getting to play with a zero handicap should be fun and educational.

What time are people planning to show up?

[Pakoh]

time to hit the range :)
