Popular Post GolfSpy_BEN Posted April 22 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 22 13 minutes ago, NorCalCamper said: Is this assuming that 1 round per week will be played? Ideally, but the beauty of the VCT is that you can post as many or as few rounds as you like. There is no obligation to post a round each week. If there are weeks where you don’t play, no worries. During weeks that you post multiple rounds, your best round will be used for scoring purposes.

berkeleybob Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 @GolfSpy_BEN For the time being, I’m playing an exec/intermediate 9-hole twice for 18 holes. All told, it’s a par 58. It has a slope and rating. It still okay to submit scores from here until I’m able to get on a regular 18-hole course?

MND Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Very interesting, I'll try to post my scores when playing. Could be interesting to integrate with simulators or GPS watch to ease the score posting.

We have looked into a couple of things like this, but our challenge is the various options available means picking one at the possible exclusion of those that don’t use those products. Our end goal for this is, and has always been making it available for any member that wants to participate. While the new format does ask for a few more data inputs than seasons past, it is still relatively easy and available to all. Good luck this season and we are glad to have you join us!

MND Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Yep, the idea was to ease the process for those equipped with a compatible device but keep the manual one for the others. I looked at how to share a round from Garmin golf app (on Android) and you can only share it as a picture... Might be for later Good luck to everyone! buckpillar, William P, IndyBonzo and 2 others 5 Quote Michael https://www.instagram.com/michael_norlund?igsh=MThjdXpremZlMWMwdQ== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonBear Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 This sounds exactly like what would get me into some more golf challenges. The problem with having a 6 month golf season is that I just don't feel confident enough with my game at the beginning of the season to join a league. Maybe this'll be my chance to get my competitive juices flowing!

Mr. Mushball Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I'm actually really curious as to how the new format will shake things up. I've managed to stay at the top of the pack due to playing regularly (maybe more than once a week) and lucking out with some good scores and high net birdies. That was a function of my WHS handicap being pretty high and then getting a semi decent round in, though nothing most people on the forum would sneeze at. Numbers being what they are, I won out. The new format is somewhat intriguing as I am currently understanding it. We all start off with a "blank" handicap that gets established in the first few weeks of play. Then we are organized into flights that will fluctuate as we progress through the season depending on how we play and place on the current leaderboard. This sets us up for the end of year tournament (or maybe some mid season events?!?) with comparative league stats vs. WHS standings. All pretty exciting IMHO. Did I misunderstand @GolfSpy_BEN?

The caveat I believe is that you don't get to use a handicap for scoring purposes, just gross.
