The Handicap:
The goal is to create an even match using tee separation and not strokes. This format gave some surprising results last year so we are trying it again. We are open for suggestions for next year.
• You will be separated by tee boxes according to the difference in handicaps (ie: 10-5 = 5 you would be separated by one tee box)
• Use the most current handicap.
• The higher handicap will choose the tees which the match will be played from.
• The separation scale: (difference between 18 hole handicap)
0 to 4 same tees
5 to 10 one set of tees
11 to 15 two tees
16 and up three tees
• If one player is a 10 from the red and the other is a 10 from the yellow that is an even match. Let 'er rip.
Words of Wisdom and the Twist:
• Say hello to the Pros, they are playing this year. They will be at the back tees and will give your entire handicap. So you Draw John "YES SIR!!!" Dinnebier, Gary "Goo" Babcock, or Mike Kleinwolterinkenstien and you have an 18 handicap, you get to play the red tees and get a stroke a hole. Tees and strokes.
• If you stay in the fairway your odds of winning go way up.
• We need a big trophy cup for the winner. Something that will "announce your presence with authority". If you have some thing and you are willing to donate it, we will waive the entrance fee.
