@GolfSpy_BEN  Going to have to politely bow out.  Don't see how I'm going to get a round in this week or next for that matter.   We started Demo/construction on our new house and it's going to require more attention than I was planning.  I'll be seeing a lot of this for the next few months.  

On the plus side, the last time I did any major construction on our home I had  enough of a speed gain that I had to re-calibrate my yardages by almost a club and a half.    Swinging a sledge has its advantages.  Good luck everyone!

No problem.  Thanks for letting us know.

I just hope that some of that space might be dedicated for a golf simulator.

THANKS @GolfSpy_BEN and @Golf2Much for all of your efforts into making this a great way for the Spies to interact and compete.   

For me personally it was an added incentive to get out and play as much as time and affordability allowed.

Best to all that signed up for the next session, and congratulations to ALL the Spies who entered a round into the Virtual Tour weeks.

It is great reading about and seeing the pictures from the rounds played at the various locations globally. 

It's all @GolfSpy_BEN!  I'm just part of the team that helps put together the VCT special events.  

We had three of those events this year.  Each one had exciting matches with golfers from all over the United States and the world.  With all the distractions we have today, it's great that we can come together, put it out of our minds for a few hours and play some golf with and against our MGS peers!   At least from the VCT tournament perspective, I happy to be a small part of making that happen.

I tried... did not succeed -- not quite enough space.   However, this directly behind the back yard fence.  It's owned by a public agricultural school.  There's occasionally a small herd of cattle, sheep, and a pair of donkeys out there, but its mostly empty.  There's a high likelihood that I may be borrowing it to go for 'walks' with a shag bag... cough cough.   There may or may not be some old golf balls out there already....  l going with the ask for forgiveness mentality.

I’m unsure if my VCT handicap.  Is it available somewhere?  
 

thank you!

It started the season at 10.9. I will be doing updated HDCP's for all the participants in the next day or so. So stay tuned!

Congrats @Bohnson.  Great season! 

@GolfSpy_BEN I'm assuming the red means he's a plus handicap?

Interesting, this does not correlate to my USGA handicap I track. I’ll take it though! Congrats on a fun season all! Great job on improving goes to @USMCSnyper!

The VCT hdcp is a simple calculation and not meant to be as comprehensive as a USGA or GHIN hdcp. Both the initial and final VCT hdcps took the 3 best of 5 score groups and averaged them. It is meant to be a reflection of the rounds posted to the VCT.

A final plus 4.7 handicap is some fantastic golf! Thank you Ben for a great event!

My final VCT hdcp (9.4) is pretty close to my GHIN index (9.7). Seems like it's a pretty good estimate of current ability. Thanks for your great work, Ben.

Sweet. Thank you so much @GolfSpy_BEN for all the work you do. This place is a fantastic community

[Preeway]

Great wrap up to the season. Was a lot of fun again like last year. Really like the flight idea as well. My GHIN is 3.5 so seeing a 4.7 here is pretty reflective of my 2024 season.

interesting. Mine on GHIN is 18.3 and here is 16.7. Now that is likely a delta because for VCT I had to combine 2 nine hole rounds to get 18 a few times. I bet that is where it is coming from as GHIN with extrapolate nine hole rounds instead of combining. Regardless, great work on all of this @GolfSpy_BEN
