At the AGM Saturday night I was voted in as President for the Club
Will you be modelling your Presidency on the style of Trump?
or
More like Clinton?

And, in the giddy head buzz excitement of boasting about your return to Piney you’ve overlooked an important consideration; What are you planned choices of attire?
Thanks Hack, I’m glad you asked.
I think I’ve narrowed it down to either subtle and somewhat classic or bright and bold.The elegant is an RQ shirt which has a white back and blue to light blue fade on the front. This will be paired with navy shorts and grey belt.
The fun will be a well used combo of bright green shirt and my blue and white “check” striped shorts and maybe white belt.
What I’m wearing here https://youtu.be/PrD5HrSVZYkThe hat for each option is yet to be confirmed.
What about elegant bold like this:
And.
Do you feel a sub par round is due?

Is this where I gloat that I am playing this weekend?
Back at Piney with Rusty Old Man and the boys.
It was July 2019 since I last played there, but after 4 hundred thousand rounds I’ve played there before, I’m still confident of knowing where to hit it.
This will be game number 4 for the year, backing up after the Sanctuary Cove game with Placegetter in July.
Playing off 5 for the day, I’m hoping to crack 41 points, just like that.Why not aim for 42 points, a sub par round? Surely it’s in you. After all you’ve had a good spell so track form should be good. It’s not like you’ve had anything to impeded your time away from the track.

… writing was on the wall with 2 1 point birdies on 17 and 18 …
How can a birdie be 1 point if you’re playing off a daily handicap of 6?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve finally edged my ‘cap out to 18.0
That’s in line with the original estimates considering the goal posts were moved by 2 when GA included a ‘rating – par’ adjustment into the equation.Didn’t they also move the 0.93 multiplier?

Points of order, questions without notice?
What does lowest OTS win?
And.
How many beers were consumed? Or, is that tally still in dispute, with count and recount yet to be scrutinized?

Over 25 is a heat wave in Portland.
And, I see it gets a mention in the news this morning too due to COVID case trace.

Yes – but how often do you get a choice in a comp?
Plus if there are 2 holes beyond your reach I would still play those tees
In response to Hacks suggestion, yes Weeti you should have a choice on which tee you play in competition.
the GA new world handicap system is set up to accommodate players playing from multiple tees in the same competition on same day.
Every tee be it, back, middle and front has a slope rating and your handicap adjusts accordingly, so no reason why cannot play tee which fits your ability.
Clubs are still a bit in dark ages in this matter and hence a bit reluctant to introduce this, or more correctly most members dont know they can play forward or dont want to for macho reasons.
Some progressive clubs have even introduced multiply course combinations ie front 9 off blue, back 9 off red. as a variant for member enjoyment.
XRMan having 3 tees to choose to play from gives you as a player lots of variation in the course and enjoyment in game.My club has only two tees ; men’s and women’s.
With my 190-200m tee shots, a few par 4’s second shot are at my next club’s limit ( 160-175m) which is the 4Wood. I can get it on the green sometimes and if the green is soft it can stay on sometimes. If there is a bit of run I can get my 3 Hybrid that distance too, but it often comes in quite low and runs through.
It makes the up and down skill more important with regard to accuracy to the pin. Getting it on the green in three can be done either by bombing in the two longest shots you can and a little chip onto the green ( missed the green or came up short) , or laying up with shot two to a full wedge distance out ( 65m for me) . If there is danger short I choose the second option, given our unpredictable ” dirt” bunkers. Unpredictable because of variable depth of loose heavy sand or water effect compacting the so called loose layer.
Playing with a strong following wind or at a course with some run, I get the feel of what it must be like to play with some shot length. It has positives and negatives. At least I know where the ball will stop at my home course.
These ‘longer holes’ also low index?

FFS, it’s been nearly a week and you haven’t posted about your last round. You can’t STILL be celebrating.
Or
Has it taken a while to recover from the celebratory drinks?

So my Xmas and birthday presents this year is a Mevo + golf sim.
I need to get an impact screen, projector and mat.
Looking for advice. Any recommendations or ideas where to go for recommendations?You can have a lot of lessons from a golf pro who can see and correct your faults for a lot less than the cost of the high tech gadgets.
FFS, don’t talk him out of it.
I’m looking forward to playing pebble beach!

Must admit though that until my physical ability forces it, I’d rather play a tough track off the tips to challenge myself.

As CB80 notes, the WHS has made provision for multi tee competition rounds but clubs here in Oz are slow to adopt.
I do think players are slow to adopt too.

Well I think if length is an issue I wouldn’t penalise my TSIP stats because of that – even if I don’t have a club to reach the green – I imagine as the years go by that will become a reality for me too
Most courses we play will only have a few par 4s over 360m off the white tees – handicap will have to handle that – so even with a 190-200m tee game most par 4s are in play
Isn’t that why we’re being told nowadays to play the forward tees? Play the tee to match your game?

I think a reasonable definition of Tee Shots in Play would include a requirement that the ball is far enough down the hole to allow for a realistic IPIR
Otherwise it’s not reasonably in play
Without the acronym analysis, that’s essential my criteria to determine if my driver needs work. If I can’t have a realistic, reasonable chance at hitting GIR then I needed to work on my driver.
I figure there is no sense being middle of the fairway but always 180+ out from the green! My goal is to be inside 150m for all approach shots, ideally around 100m.
