Ice and rest, it's really the best thing you can do.  Practice putting.

Tournaments / Re: 30th Kansas City Wide Open

« on: May 22, 2012, 09:25:40 AM »

I'm excited about the KCWO this year and I wished more people would get on board.  I like the format.  I think it will be extremely challenging with lots of golf.  It does take a big committment to play in it (cost and time).  I liked the logo on the fundraising disc, but the image on the full color buzz is not my cup of tea (that eyeball in the upper left corner keeps staring at me saying...." WHY didn't you make that PUTT?".  But who knows, maybe I will like it better when I see it in person.  As much energy and focus the KCFDC put on this event, I would really hope that it would measure up to other comparible tournaments like the GBO in terms of payouts, players pack, courses, and execution.  Just an FYI, the players pack at the GBO was awesome and will be tough to beat.  I got a Titanium Wasp (retail $25), Cryztal FLX Drone (retail $20-30 depending on where purchased), dryfit shirt, hat, glass mini, water bottle, and a pair of Keen socks.  I think it's important to support Kansas City's biggest tournament, which I wholeheartedly do, and I think its important to let people know what you liked, didn't like, or that didn't live up to expectations (whether they want to hear them or not).

What's the word for a round like that.....? Whoops! Haha

I can relate.  My last two league rounds (at Young's and Cliff) have felt like that.

Blue Valley / Re: Too much time to play? Have you tried the alternate course yet?

« on: May 08, 2012, 01:07:19 PM »

Played league last night and had a great time with the people I played with Adam, TJ Ring and Tank. The course looks good and it will look even better when its mowed. The layout is great it played 2.5 hours for the 4 of us. A lot of the original holes and a few new ones. A couple of holes need some work so here is some constructive ideas. Hole 4 and hole 13 both need a gap to get through. Even if its a 6' wide gap. These are both overhand thumber holes which I dont have that shot. Doesn't seem fair to us that don't throw those types of shots. I can throw very straight when needed and would thread the needle if the gap was there.
The course is a great layout and will be fun to play.

I've only played that layout once, but both of those holes have decent spike hyzer lines for a lefty.  And I saw Vince (a righty) park #13 with a high anny line with a roc.

Bag Tags / Re: Bag Tag Rules

« on: April 28, 2012, 10:33:11 AM »

Here's a scenario I wanted to know how to handle.  Say there are 3 players with bag tags playing on a card in league.  Tag #'s 4, #50, and #260.  Say the #50 and #260 tie (both shoot 54), but both players beat the #4 bag tag holder (shot 56).  Who gets the #4 tag?  Clearly the former #4 who shot 56 gets #260 in this scenario.  But I couldn't figure out who gets the lowest tag since both of the other players have a claim to it.

The TD is suppose to tell you before you tee off.  Last year Dan Coffman said which tee pads to use and I believe the signs were covered with a trash bag to show you which ones were not in use.  In prior years, Rick was TD and he also said which pads were suppose to be used.  My guess though is long pads are used on 11 and 18 to prevent errant shots from 10 and 15 from interferring with drives.  And then short pads used on 5, 13, 14.  I've played every year though and do remember one year they didn't indicate what suppose to be used.  Just ask before you get started.

General Banter / course on holmes

« on: April 24, 2012, 04:35:05 PM »

So I was taking some customers to Jack Stack in Martin City for some delicious BBQ and I noticed a basket on Holmes.  I can't remember if it was just south or just north of there, but it was on the west side of Holmes in between Red Bridge and 150 highway.  Anybody know the story on it?

I don't know if you have played baseball/softball, but a backhand lefty shot is like a right handed bat swing.  That association might help figure it out.  I would think the footwork is the most difficult to get right.  Practice the X step and it should work out.   Good luck

I don't play bag tags all that often.  But generally I've heard that ties after the round means no change of bag tags.  However, for casual rounds you need to define what's a round is .... 9, 18, 27 or whatever.
