Since the worst shot section comes in the last round those six holes are gonna be the pressure cooker. Gonna have to make safe throws.

A thing i like about the alternate shot and 666 format, while difficult it will allow more variance in the scoring. A lot more people will feel like they have a shot knowing they can make up several strokes on Sunday. Its really hard to make up more than 3-4 strokes in a competitive field of best shot doubles.

It is good to see you in though caleb, how could you really miss a tourney at ur home course. I bet u got some lines i could follow.

The potential for abuse and cheating is always present in any tourney. Tough shot will be a part of the final round where everyone you are playing with is going to be your closest competition in the standings, so i think it will be in every teams best interest to give others the worst possible lie.

Its only 6 holes anyway, as long as it is the same six holes for everyone that is.

Anybody going down for this. Trying to decide of going down friday night or just shooting down saturday morning. Wife might let me take the prius if i go saturday morning, but we would need to leave pretty early (7-7:30). Then i would be open to letting others join up in a car pool. Gas would be super cheap.

I'm gonna be playing advanced, and consider myself tolerable in a car for a little over an hour.

Only cons are no cigarettes, and probably having to listen to me cry all the way back about how crappy i putted.

Leaning toward saturday morning as of now.

Legacy Park - Lee's Summit / Re: Legacy League 7/9 * * Random Draw Doubles * *

Only like 10 people showed up.

Palmer and myself were paired together and lit the course up

We shot a -9, i think second place shot a -2.

Course was set up mostly on long placements, which played right into my hands.

Especially with palmer putting for me

Young park took me a roughed me up like a swope parkway hooker last night.

Been playing well and had actually gotten an idea in my head that i might be kind of good... Well that house of cards came crashing down last night.

Its really funny when you are playing with the course designer and the course is absolutely killing everyone on the card. I think he felt a little bad at times.

Don't feel bad jon, u've done good work. Helped me highlight about 20 things i need to work on.

Thanks for the nickname neckbeard, that cracked me up.

Thankfully that couple with the foofoo dog came along so that dog would leave us alone.

I thought old cooter was gonna have to woop some scrawny pup ass. Doesn't that just sound awesome?

General Banter / Dogs in Leagues

« on: May 26, 2010, 01:30:22 AM »

How does everybody feel about somebody on your card having a dog during a league.

I have been a daytime casual golfer here in KC for 5 years or so due to my nighttime work schedule, so i have played pretty much just me and my dog. My dog is older now and i just can't bear to leave him at home when i go play. I'm only talking about single round local stuff here, weekend multi-round tourneys are a different story.

I have been hesitant to play in some of the busier leagues because i do not want to piss anyone off. I want to compete, but i don't want anybody to feel like i am causing a distraction to their game.

My dog is pretty well behaved, and has never even so much as licked a disc in his life.I have played in a few leagues and everybody has been really cool about it, but i have had to get him out of people's way a few times so i understand it could be a problem. (Line of sight stuff)

How do the pros feel about it, would it be cool if he was leashed most of the time and generally kept out of everyones way. I understand it is a competition for money, but there is far more than that to life for me.

Thanks for any input.

Swope / Re: 5-25-10 SWOPE MINI

Can someone clarify the ob rule at swope regarding the rocks.

Was told the ob line was a line between the 2 closest points on the rock, this was between hole 1, but i suppose it applies on the other side also.

No complaints on the guys in my group, i asked the rule long before we got to my disc. I knew it was gonna be close so i asked before we got there. My disc was in between 2 of the rocks, and just inside the closest point between the 2 rocks.

As my group had agreed to the rule before we even saw my disc, it was OB by that definition and i took my penalty and have no problem with that.

The only thing was it was not immediately obvious if the disc was ob or not. The grass gets pretty gnarly around those areas and we had to move grass to find the wide parts of the the rocks. To me it would seem a lot easier to just call the inside line or outside line of those rocks the ob line. Those rocks are far from uniform and i could see a problem arising if a couple of guys who take things really serious get on the opposite side of a ruling.

Sorry i didn't bring it up to the guys running league i just really wasn't that concerned about it, so i thought i'd mention it now.

Regardless was a fun night and appreciate any feedback.

Pleasant Hill / Re: Pleasant Hill League

« on: May 25, 2010, 12:54:47 PM »

If you had 7 straight birdies early that means u got one from hole 9 to hole 17.

Could have been even lower if slim and i could have made a putt outside 30 feet. We dueced #9, #12, #17 all under 30 foot putts.

Missed a couple of shorties in there, but was still a good round. I definitely pulled my weight that day. Good team golf.

Pleasant hill is an outstanding course, Glad i made it out and look forward to more out there.
