Nice photos Ethan. Thanks for posting them. BTW... what holes are those?

Anytime you're able to get out there post some more for us if you can.

My bad I should've mentioned that. From top to bottom these are holes 12, 11, and 9. I thought I I had them in the opposite order when I was posting them but nope. I'll keep getting some more pictures when I play out there.

I played a course in Portland several years ago that looked sort of like that. Columbia Edgewater. Nice track to say the least.

Columbia Edgewater is nice but private. Never played it. "Some people just don't belong."

I was with a member. I think that's the course the LPGA plays but I might be mistaken.

You are correct. Brooke won back to back years, like Annika and Kathy Whitworth

Hey 2cap... I've still got you on our roster as a "possible" for the Tournament/outing. I hope as we get closer you'll be able to commit. The Championship Flight is looking pretty strong so far. You're 0 hcp will make it even better. Hope you can make it. Stay in touch. Consider bringing a buddy if you like.

I should know within the next 2 weeks for sure. Just waiting to hear about a work class. Who put me down as a 0? I'm a 2.1 handicap.

2cap... I just looked in your space beside your post where you picture or avatar goes and it shows a 0.

FYI...you can update that in your settings/profile.

 

I'l mark you down as a 2.

 

Hope you can work it out. Our Championship flight is looking pretty strong.

I went to read post #1 in this thread to check the date and there's nothing, just says search and find the PDF.

 

Maybe all the information updates throughout the thread and the basic info (including PDF) should be put directly into post #1, so new people etc can find out everything quickly. 

 

Just a suggestion.

Suggestions are welcome by all.

Things are shaping up but we still want more players to sign up. Can we put you down as a YES?

Remember... you can bring a buddy.

 

Thanks guys!

[quote name="PlaidJacket" post="248561"

 

I'd like to get some feed back for our format. Here's what I have been thinking. So far we have 11 players committed to playing. Based on these players so far; we could have a Championship Flight and a Seniors Flight. There's a nice group of you guys that are younger with a 4 or less hcp. About half of us will be Senior players (55-up) and a couple that fall into no man's land.

 

I'm thinking the guys with a 4 hcp. or less play heads-up - gross. I've thought that the rest of us could play Net using 50% of our handicap.

The payout will be a small amount of cash (really small) medals to 1st, 2nd, 3rd. in each flight.(Gold, Silver, Bronze)

 

Anybody got any suggestions?

 

Also... we still need to get more players signed up. Bring a buddy, nag a friend.

 

Update Plaid? Are there still 11 committed and multiple maybes?

 

Regarding the format, I like what you have proposed so far. Have you given any thought yet to tee assignments for the different flights?

stroker...

 

We still have 11 players committed and in my spreadsheet. There are 4 players that are still possible.

Of the committed there are 6 that would be considered Championship with 4 or lower Hcp, 4 Seniors, and 1 in no-mans land that is too young for Senior but with a higher hcp than Championship. Of course this man in the middle can certainly play in the Senior group.

 

All total we have 15 total players on the roster either committed or pending depending on personal time and or other issues. Currently it's still a little early to determine any tee times. I'm thinking we try and make them late morning the day of the event. Perhaps 10:30-11:30. That way people who drive up can do so and then finish early enough to drive home if not staying over night.

 

To all reading this... we need more players. There's plenty of time to increase the field. The more players we have the better the event will be for everyone. Also... remember you can bring a buddy.

I apologize for not being clear - I am referring to the tee box assignments (i.e. Championship Flight plays from tips, Senior Flight plays from one tee box up). Those may not be our ultimate tee assignments but you get the picture.

Stroker...Yes... the Championship flight will/should defiantly play the tips. It's only a little over 6800 yds. and the next tee where the Seniors should play is sightly over 6400 yds.

I'm told by Ethan and the Pro there that the course is pretty tight and tree lined. Looks and sounds like a good test I think. Fun.

 

I'm going to try and get over there in late February sometime if I can break loose. I'll try and get Ethan to join me too. Maybe you can come? I'll probably bring a buddy.

I don't know about the tips either - the course rating is 74.6 from the tips. I have to agree with brutal.

might I recommend we move the tee choices one forward and have the championship flight from the blue tees then the seniors cans play the whites. Speaking from experience I think it'll be more enjoyable for both groups this way. I'll show you what I mean when you come down though.

Oh and I meant to show y'all some of these. A tornado came through the area and had its fun with some houses and tree damage but the course itself is still in one piece IMG_1407.JPG some of the surrounding community got hit pretty good but all there was at the course was a little tree damage. IMG_1438.JPG this tree was a big one but outside of that cleanup is going smoothly.

Wow about the tornado! I didn't hear anything about that in our local news. Thanks for sharing the info and pics.

 

About the tee assignments: I can understand where Ethan is coming from. Even though the course is relatively short that doesn't mean it's a walk in the park. I recently played Lions in Austin where from the tips it's around 5800 yds. Short yes. Easy... mmm not so much. Fun...Yes!

 

As always... Send me a Private message and get signed up for the event. Bring a buddy too.

IMG_1449.JPG Younger brother does photography and helped a bunch with this one. This is my favorite hole on the old course at Whitebluff, the par 3 13th. Plays to about 160 yards from the longest tees and 130 or so at the front with elevation change but you have to carry what is locally known as the rattlesnake pit. Hit it short and you're probably lost in the pit, hit it long and the ball probably bounced off the back into the tree line. I'm really looking forward to meeting everybody and playing a good round of golf!
