Just need updated handicaps from @Ringworld and @RyMerritt. If you don't know what they are, try to give me a best guess.

From the profile, it looks like RyMerritt is a 21.

Maybe go with that for now?

For now, that's what I'll do.

BTW everybody, remember that we will each get 80% of our course handicap.

Well that sounds like a plan.  Although I may be less of a golfer than he is LOL.  Hopefully he can put up with my game or lack thereof.

21 is fair for Ryan ( @ RyMerritt).  his bowling handicap is MUCH lower than that, but for golf, that will work.

Just trying to find my way around

Their head pro called me right now to confirm everything and asked if we wanted to do a long drive contest or closest to the pin or anything like that, so, do we?

Let's go with closest to the hole. I can get a prize for that.

Sounds good, does anybody have a suggestion as to which of the par 3s we should do it on.

Hole 17 seems like a no brainer to me. Nobody's hitting the green on number 7 (a 300 yard par 3???? Holy smokes, is this the US Open???), and you might as well save one last "shot at glory" for those of us who have had a rough golfing day.

Again, thanks Tristan for setting this up.

Hole 7 is the longest, from the blues it's 241, so probably not that one.

Hole 13 is downhill and 173, so that might be a good one.

Hole 14 is uphill and 179.

Hole 17 is downhill and 188, wider green, so maybe another good choice as well.

Don't know the course, but based on the scorecard it looks like our best bets are either 13 or 14 ... both are 175-ish and the shortest 3's on the course.  (Or we can play the blacks and use the 7th hole - which is a mere 300 yard par 3 :bugout::bugout::bugout::bugout::bugout::bugout::bugout::bugout: )

And based on what I see, I'm guessing 13 is downhill and thus the shorter one ... so I'd vote 13.

But I really have no idea.


Follow up question:  What tees are we playing?

Alright guys, here are the groups:


I figure that we should all be ok playing the blue tees; if you feel that you should move up a set, let me know (obviously you'll get a few less strokes). I've tried to keep the groups as even as possible (groups 1 and 3 each have a total of 43 strokes, and group 2 has 47 strokes). We will be playing the modified stableford that we've been playing at these. The best 3 scores will count on each hole with the following point structure.

0 - Dbl Bogey or worse

1 - Bogey

2 - Par

3 - Birdie

5 - Eagle

7 - Double Eagle

We'll do the closest to the pin on number 13.

You could have just PMed @Golfingdad this rather than call him out publicly.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
