I am excited to follow along. Just curious, since there are members of varying handicaps participating, will there be any adjustments to make the singles matches specifically more fair, or will it just be straight scoring, lowest score wins?

In 2015, we all used our current USGA handicaps for all of the matches, playing off the low ball in the group.  We played with a "Nassau" type scoring, a point for the front, the back, and the 18, so 3 points per match.  I haven't read any discussion about the 2017 edition, but I'm guessing we'll do the same.  Of course, the captains may choose to do something different this time.

Further, the handicaps of the players on the teams were all close-ish, such that most matches had small handfuls of strokes being given.  I don't remember my team matches, but in my singles match, I only had to give a stroke on one hole, so it's practically straight up. :)

I think this time around the caps are even closer.

Sounds like a fun time, indeed, definitely wish I were able to be of the same skill set as many others here. But with as little as I play and how long it'd probably take me to become as proficient as needed, it'd be another 15 years or so, before I'd be able to participate. ;-) ha. 

At least on the plus side, weather looks like it will be perfect, very glad for that. 

Cheers!

I'm starting to get pretty excited! Weather looks pretty awesome. I'm dusting off my best trash talk for the Blue (haired) team. Now, if only I could find my swing again in the next couple of days...

This is the hourly forecast for Thursday morning. It warms up pretty quick.

Then it will stay that way thru the evening. Low 60's. Ski clothing should be optional. ;-)

The key for me is all those pretty sun pictures and the 0% chances of rain ?

Yea, there is going to be a giant high pressure system over the entire Midwest and south east of the US during that time. This will keep the rain away and bring in warmer than average temperatures. Of course this is still a week away, but the odds are really good for dry, comfortable weather.

At least for the afternoon rounds. Low 70's is going to feel cooler to me since it's been in the high 80's low 90's all week.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By DaveP043 ·

      Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
