TST SoCal 2015 Spring Outing - May 24th, 2015 @ Industry Hills (Babe Course)

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.

[Ringworld]

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.

[The 8th green]

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

Are the teams decided?

Should be perfect weather Sunday.

I've been working on them... I'll likely be posting them tonight.

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.

[Big C]

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 )

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?

[RyMerritt]

Sorry for the delay - my index right now is 23.2.

Thanks!

[mvmac]

I vote for 13 as well.

Follow up question:  What tees are we playing?

Probably the blue tees.

[tristanhilton85]

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.
