The Twin Cities area is doing a Skills Challenge Youtube Reality Golf Show to see how much a "Hack" can improve in 12 weeks.

http://twincitiesgolf.com/hacktojack/

I sent in a video to get on the show but need some help with votes. If I get on obviously I'll post the show here when it's available.

You can find my video in here.

As much as I'd love to move south during these ridiculous winters....I think I'd miss Minneapolis/St. Paul too much. The culture/art is fantastic.

Thanks again! $20 editing program hah!

Very Nice!  I would go south at a moments notice though myself.

Maybe, but they don't have BRATWURST!

Ha ha, they don't have bratwursts that are as good anyway.  Guilty food is better here in Mil, but nothing beats the MN State Fair.  Fine dining is better in Minni as well.    Golf...I will have to go with Milwaukee.  I was amazed four years ago when I moved here at the quality and character of courses here.

I voted. Tough sledding against the girl, but you've gotta get on The Facebook and help your own cause, too, man.

I've done a little to help here: https://www.facebook.com/thesandtrapgolf/posts/10151932610114227 . I'll tweet this thread out soon as well.

    • 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?
