1130.0. "1991 DECGolf World OPen" by WALTA::LENEHAN (stick-em) Mon Jan 14 1991 15:55

    
    	Hi Everyone;
    
    	
    	Hope 1991 brings nothing but fun and lower handicaps for all.
    
    	To kick things off this year, I thought it would be fun to
    	have a year long tournament ! Anyone who works at DEC is
    	automatically qualified to enter.
    
    	The rules are simple.
    
    	1. Play a round of golf on any 18 hole course (same day) (same 9
           holes twice not allowed).
    
    	2. Reply to this topic with your score.
    
    	example;
    
    		John Smith	6 over	gross (no handicap)
    				5 under net   (with 11 handicap)
    
    	 **Only enter a score that will beat the existing low score**
    
         Any score entered after Nov 30th 1991 will not be counted.
    	
    	On DEC 1st I will post the winners of the mens + womens
    	divisions for GROSS and NET.
    
    	
    	Good luck to all !

1130.1What about 9 hole courses?BTOQA::SHANEMon Jan 14 1991 15:598
    
    
    But the course I belong to only has 9 holes!!!!!!!
    
    Can you make an exception for this?

1130.2It's a looooong time till DEC 1st ;)WALTA::LENEHANstick-emMon Jan 14 1991 16:0915
    Hi Shane,
    
    	I too am a member at a 9 hole course ... It wouldn't be fair
    to the others if we entered an 18 hole round. All the information
    gained playing the first nine would definitely make the 2nd nine
    easier. Compared to someone playing 18 different holes we would
    have an unfair advantage.
    
    	Being that the tourny will last until Dec 1st, it'll give both of us
    ample time to play many 18 hole courses to compensate ;) !! Did you
    hear that Eunhwa? I said "Many" 18 hole courses :)))) !

}    gained playing the first nine would definitely make the 2nd nine
}    easier.


	I bet that statistics show this not to be true...in fact I
suspect that those of us(I also play a nine hole course) who are members
at nine hole courses and play with regular groups could possible even
attest to the fact that the opposite is true...

    
    	
1130.4clarafication....CSS::GORDONMon Jan 14 1991 16:434
    I do however agree that the scores should be over a 18 hole course...
    
    my last reply was only an observation and was not meant to agree with
    .3 for the tourney...
1130.5+'s and -'sWALTA::LENEHANstick-emMon Jan 14 1991 17:1529
    
    	reply .3
    
    	Discussing 9 holes twice, versus 18 in ease of play. I understand
    how you may feel it's arguable that 9 holes twice is more difficult...
    a couple of other things can go wrong ; such as 
    	
    -'s
    		previous bad results inducing fear of failure
    		lack of concentration (becoming lethargic)
    
    even though, the +'s far outway the -'s ;
    
    		knowing what club to hit
    		knowing where to hit (whether the ball will hold or
                release)
    		Knowing from the fairway which part of the green to hit,
    		to stay low of the hole.
    		Knowing the speed of each green, for putting and pitch
    	        and rolls.
    
    	I find if I can fight the tendancy to remember my failures, and
    	stay allert... the back nine will almost always play easier.

1130.8{my two cents worth}BOSOX::WEWINGMon Jan 14 1991 17:5912
    what next?  if i play the same 18 holes twice in one day have
    i gained a big advantage the second time around.
    
    we could get real extreme and say you can't play the same course
    twice in a certain time frame. 
    
    being a hacker, i see no 'usable' advantage to playing the same 9
    over again.  the pros would likely gain an advantage but hackers
    wouldn't.

1130.99 x 1 = 9; 9 x 2 = 18...ASABET::VARLEYMon Jan 14 1991 18:3510
     Walta, I'll muddy the water a bit and say "what about playing a 9 hole
    course from 2 different sets of tees ?" Truthfully, I agree with you.
    Perhaps there might be a separate category for the 9 holes twice folks
    to resolve this. In any case, the 9 holers should have to play
    different tees on the back 9 or they'll only be seeing 9 different
    holes for the event - not 18.
     It doesn't matter to me, because on the course I hang my hat on, I'm
    no threat anyway !

1130.10let's vote on itMAST::LENEHANMon Jan 14 1991 19:1911
    Hi Wally,
    
    	I have a suggestion.  Since majority of the replies think that they
    	won't benefit from playing 9-holes twice and only the good players
    	may benefit from it, why not allow two 9-holes scores in the net 
    	catagory?  And, restrict the gross catagory to 18-holes scores.
    	I wouldn't want to mix the tees either because for  women or
        novice men playing from the white or the blue tees could make a big
    	difference.

1130.129 holes x 2 = OKWALTA::LENEHANstick-emTue Jan 15 1991 11:2921
    
    Hi Y'all ,
    
    	I think Jacks idea is a good one... I see no reason why we can't
    add another category for "9 holes x 2" , just make sure you hit from
    a different set of tee's.
    
    	The idea behind the tourny is to make it easy enough that everyone
    can compete... the more the merrier. Being that we're playing against
    the course, you can even play a par 3 course. 
    
    	the exceptions being -   miniature golf, and chip and putts, indoor
    				 golf
    					
    			        and no video games !
    
    	So if during this year you are out playing and just happen to get
    hot , the round won't be wasted  enter it here and you may win !

1130.13Still out BTOQA::SHANETue Jan 15 1991 12:4313
    
    Well using different tees on a 9 hole course still leaves me out.
    
    The course is new, and the owner puts all  efforts and money into
    the construction of the back 9.  The tee boxes sometimes are so
    bad it can be the hardest shot of the round, and he only puts out
    one set of tees for hte men.  He won't be putting out the blue 
    tees until after the course is done.
    
    Oh well, maybe next year.

1130.14Cimarron Hills - Colorado SpringsCOMET::DVORAKTue Jan 15 1991 14:016
    We have a 9 hole course that has two sets of tees for playing 18 holes.
    There are 2 holes on each green and players rotate the pin between the
    holes. What may have been a par 5, the 1st time around could be 4 the
    2nd time around. A short par 4 could be a longer par 4 etc - etc. As
    for putting, the pin may be in the the same hole for 1 or 2 holes but
    wouldn't be for all of the last nine holes.
1130.15my .02NSG018::STOPERATue Jan 15 1991 14:4510
    I sitting here wondering why anytime someone wants to run a tourny in
    here and states the rules of the tourny that there is always someone
    that wants to change things. My opinion is that is you don't like the
    format, then don't enter. It is very very difficult just to run a
    tourny let alone trying to please everyone else. So please if you don't
    like the rules, form your own tourny and state your own rules.

    	Hi Pete,
    
    	When I first read how some people were feeling lefft out if
    	they couldn't play 9 twice, I felt the same way... thinking
    	geeesh, you have until Nov 30th .
    
    	But then I know a lot of members of 9 hole courses that spend
    	almost the entire season playing their course... they shouldn't
    	be left out. However I still think there's an advantage to
    	playing nine twice. So Jacks idea of making an additional
    	category will solve the problem.
    
    	It sure is interesting running a tourny though :) !

1130.19For the recordBTOQA::SHANETue Jan 15 1991 17:3620
    
    
    Walta,
    
    I'd like to go on record as saying that I did not intend on causing
    a big hassel!
    
    I thought I started out with a very simple question, "What about those
    of us......"
    
    I'm not a very good golfer in the first place, just thought it would be 
    fun to get involved, but not at the expense of having to put someone
    to additional, un-planned work.
    
    So thanks any way,
    
    Shane
    
    
    
1130.20Is it really as simple as it sounds?SONATA::BBONNERTue Jan 15 1991 18:2112
    Walta,
    
    To keep this simple, it sounds like you will be ignoring course and/or
    slope ratings. But, I do have two other rule questions. 
    1.)	Should scores be attested by a fellow Deccie?
    2.)	Are only USGA handicaps to be used in determining net scores?
    
    I assume this is a strict honor system which everyone pledges to abide
    by. ;->  Oh, yes - should we keep the score card for verification of
    the "posted" scores?

    HI Shane,
    
    	Everyone who wants to enter is qualified... there will not be
    	any rule that will eliminate a golfer from competing. It's OK
    	that you voiced your concerns, usually tourny's are run with
    	strict rules but this isn't one of them. I was surprised that
    	the initial rules didn't cover everyone, but they didn't, so
    	with no additional hassles we can simply allow another
    	category of 9 x2 . There will definitely be a bunch of golfers
    	(including Moi) that will post both an 18 hole score and a 9 x2.
    
    	So , in your case... since you don't have multi tee locations
    	on your course. Tee off at the tee's the first time around,
    	then step off ten paces closer/farther away from the tee boxes
    	the 2nd 9. That will be fine.
    
    	No problem;
    
    	thanks  Walta
    	
    
    	
1130.23Anwers to rules ?'sWALTA::LENEHANstick-emTue Jan 15 1991 18:5937
    
    
    Hi Barry,
    	
    	Good questions -
    
    	To answer your questions and others;
    
    	1. Do we need the scores attested?
    
    		- No. We are working on the honor system.
    
    	2. USGA handicaps?
    
    		-  Any handicap is welcomed. If you don't have a handicap,
    		   try to get some help in getting one. Find a golf league
    		   representative, and use their method. It will be your
    		   responsibility to keep the handicap up to date.
    
    		   If you have a league handicap for 9 holes, simply double
    		   it for your 18 hole scores.
    
    	           
    	3. Play the ball down?
    
    		- This will vary. Play by the local rules for the course at
    		  that time. Sometimes at Monoosnock we play preferred lies
    		  of 6" sometimes 1 club. Some courses are soooo nice
    		  (Green Meadows) that they always? play them down.
    
    	4. Score cards for verification?
    
    		- No. Just reply to this note.
    
    
    		thanks  Walta
    
1130.24thank youBTOQA::SHANEWed Jan 16 1991 12:548
    
    Walta,
    
    Thank you, I am looking forward to it, and will make every effort
    to change the 1st/2nd 9 how ever possible.

1130.25Prize category's are WALTA::LENEHANstick-emWed Jan 16 1991 14:0532

	HI everyone,

	
	Just to cover all the bases... and to give some additional purpose
	to your "after" work 9 hole rounds. I am adding a "best 9"
	category. Just make sure you putt out, no gimme's ... this may
	not be possible in some league match's where your opponent can
	force you to pick up. In that case you won't be able to use 
	that score.

	So the prize category's are;

		Mens/Womens

			Best 18    Gross
			Best 18    Net

			Best 9x2   Gross
			Best 9x2   Net

			Best 9     Gross
			Best 9     Net

	That'll do it... and for prizes, lets see.... with my savings,
	 .... and a baby on the way....  Hmmm??    how about a
	  congratulations for each winner ! :)

	Naaah,   I'll come up with something !

	thanks Walta
1130.26How course rating and slope figure into net scoreBROKE::PALPaul LemaireWed Jan 16 1991 17:3829
RE:                 <<< Note 1130.20 by SONATA::BBONNER >>>
                   -< Is it really as simple as it sounds? >-
>>>    To keep this simple, it sounds like you will be ignoring course and/or
>>>    slope ratings. But, I do have two other rule questions. 

    If you have a USGA handicap, you should look up the equivalent handicap
    on a chart posted at the course(s) you play and  you this to determine
    your net score.  For instance, my USGA Handicap Index is 24.6
    At Amherst (NH) Country Club, my home course, this converts to a 26.
    This conversion takes the slope and  rating into consideration.
    When I play at my father's home course, Montaup Country Club in
    Portsmouth, RI which has a higher rating and slope, my handicap
    goes up several stokes.

    If you have a league handicap, only, but you always play at the same
    course, you could use the same table to estimate your USGA handicap
    index.  A typical table might look like this:

	     Hcp Index	     Handicap
	     .
	     .
	    23.8 - 24.7		26
	    24.8 - 25.7		27
	    25.8 - 26.8		28
	     .
	     .

    Thus, if your league handicap is 26 at this course, you could estimate
    your USGA handicap index to be halfway between 23.8 and 24.7, say 24.3

    Hi,
    
    This sounds like a great fun idea for the year,but out of interest
    (mainly mine) I was surprised to see the volume of responses referring
    to the 9 hole issue.The reason being that here in Scotland 9 hole
    courses are rare and would really only be used by people learning
    the game.
    As i have never been lucky enough to play golf in the US,can someone
    verify that there is such a high percentage of 9 hole and possibly,
    if this is true,what the history is behind this situation.
    i.e. Is it just lack of space ?
    
    It is also a mystery to me how the US handicapping system works
    in so much as it can vary depending on the course difficulty.
    In my country your handicap is constant ,regardless of the course.
    How does "slope" work ??
    
    Would it be OK therefore for people this side of the pond to
    participate in this tournament.
    
    hope you can help

1130.30Some 9-hole reasonsRAYBOK::COOPEROne-ton Tomato !Thu Jan 17 1991 14:2012
    In reply to the question about 9-hole courses, We do have many 9
    hole courses. There are several reasons for this, available land
    within a city and expense of building a course are the main ones.
      In my area, several of the courses that are 18 holes, began as 9
    hole layouts. As golf grew in popularity these courses were expanded
    to 18 holes. Most new courses here are being built as 18's now.
       I guess that going around the course twice doesn't seem like much
    of an inconvenience. Maybe a 6 hole course would be fun !!!! Three
    laps around the Maypole.
       How about it Jack, why did the Fox start out as a 9 ?

     The Fox started (and stayed) a 9 holer through several sets of owners
    due to what I call "shellout falter"), i.e. reluctance or inability to
    spend money. Fortunately our new owner (Bill Sandri) has a lot of it,
    and wanted to go first class. Therefore, he hired the original
    architect (Roger Rulewich of Robert Trent Jones) to do the new 9. So
    far, so good...

    Seems to me that the players on the west coast have a distinct
    advantage in that they can play all year round. Maybe it would be
    fairer if we handicapped areas of the world similar to the USGA slope
    system and therefore the Northeast would get a higher degree of
    dificulty rate and a higher handicap for the tourney but then again
    maybe a rest is helpful. Also I'm sure players outside of the Northeast
    ,Central and other short golf seasons have no sympathy for us so we'll
    have to be better.

1130.35Short Season againSONATA::FEENEYnon golfers live half a lifeTue Jan 22 1991 11:5711
    Walta, the hammer routine is a good analogy for how I view playing too
    much for myself but I wonder what it would be like to play all year
    round? Do the people on the West Coast lay off a bit and find their
    game improves or does it matter? Seems to me that golf is a game which
    you need to continue to learn to improve with lot's experience.
    
    Alas, I did'nt stir the pot enough- well let's see what happens in
    the tourney. I'd like to see New England win again despite the short
    season.

    re. last 2
       As a practicioner of the year round schedule I have found that
    the occaisional two week layoff when things are going bad can help.
    Also we will get weather patterns that will keep us off the course
    for two or three weeks. It is hard to go more than two weeks though
    for me, I get irritable and my significant other tells me to go out
    and play no matter what the conditions. I can't imagine not being 
    able to play for 3-4 months at a time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    As far as handicapping for those with limited playing time ? HAH !!
    That is your curse to live with.

    I was reading the opening entry of this topic and noticed that Walta
    had asked scores to be posted right here. So far there aren't any. Well
    I thought someone has to make the first move, so for fear of disrupting 
    a really interesting debate on 6,9,18 holes, same or different tees,
    West or East coast dominance, here's a starter....

    Hi Phil,
    
    	Hey great shooting ! That's how to get the ball rolling !
    
    	
    
    	One thing you forgot to do is ,  when you enter your score, you
    	MUST include what the score is related to par  (+/-) ... if
    	you want to enter the score itself that's OK, as long as we
    	know how many over or under it was.
    
    
    	Example --
    
    
    	Course name     St Andrews	par 72    front 36, back 36
    
    	  Your score			    81		45       36

    totals	+/-			    +9          +9       EVEN		
    
    		       
    	So you'll have to reply with the +/- for that course...

     It's easy to imagine if you've got kids, remember when your wife
     was pregnant, remember what sex was like then....Well being a NE

1130.44Handicap Calculation for 9WALTA::LENEHANstick-emWed Feb 13 1991 17:5618
    
    Hi everyone,
    	
    	To keep things simple (for me) I am dividing the 18 hole handicap
    by 2, and rounding down. 
    
    	So if you have a 23 handicap  , it'll figure to be an 11 for 9 .
    
    
    	On the lighter side ;
    		
    	The way everyone will be shooting to beat Dan, I was thinking of
    	getting him a shirt with a bulls-eye on the back! :)

1130.45QuestionCHEFS::NEWPORTPThu Feb 14 1991 10:0322
    Walta,
    
    
    Just so that I know how hard I've got to chase Dan, are we saying that 
    when there are two identical gross and net scores then the best is the
    one which shows better against the par?
    
    I.E.  par 34   Gross 39 Hcap 8 = Net 31    +5/-3
    
          par 36   Gross 39 Hcap 8 = Net 31    +3/-5
    
    So here is the second score better than the first? The above is where
    Dan and I stand at the moment... see .40.
    
    
    Just Curious,
    
    Phil.

    Reply -1
    
    Hi Phil,
    
    
    	In the exanmple you gave, the better score would be the 2nd
    	score...  The lowest scores rated +/- against par will be
    	the winners.
    
    	I did it this way to open up the competition to ANY type of course,
    	even a par 3 course can be played in this format.
    
    	Dan's scores will be tough to beat, but knowing the crew in this
    	notes file he might have to do better ;) !
    
    	Good luck all,

    Walta,
    
    	The shirt size is a medium. This note has been rather quiet for
    awhile. I expect my scores to be beaten soon. There are to many good 
    golfers in this file for them to stand. Being able to play year round
    and getting a good score in early helps. At least I am in the running 
    early. As I have said before, any noter visiting the Atlanta area who
    wants to get together for 18, give me a call at DTN 343-1291. There are
    58 public courses in the greater Atlanta area.
    
    	Good luck everybody and I hope I have another score to enter soon.

    Mad Hacker rips Rancho Canada West for new personal best !!
    
    Hi Walta,
       Well, here is one to post for everyone to shoot at when their
    courses finally open. Saturday Feb 9th, Rancho Canada West, Mad
    Hacker fires new personal best of 83 during a digtial GOLF league
    event. With my handicap of 22 for the course that puts me in with
    a net 61 !! 
           
         Rancho Canada West, Carmel, Cal. 
       
         slope  = 120
         rating = 69.6
         par    = 72
         yards  = 6205 
    
        front =43  back = 40  tot=83  hdcp= 22  net= 61
    
    I did win my flight, (by 9 shots !!) and also had low net (by 8 shots)
    Probably will win sandbagger of the year for this one but I will take
    it. This was my first round under 85 so I have attained my goal for 91.

    	I hope you wear a medium shirt, I already put my order in for the 
    shirt with the bulls-eye on the back with Walta.
    
    	Congrats on your round. A net 61 will be hard to beat. In my case
    I would have to shoot 77, possible if I could play consistently for 18
    holes. I either have a good nine bad nine or two bad nines. Haven't
    solved the puzzle yet.

    next month, assuming you posted the results.  Two rounds at a 13/14
    should bring you down below a bogie golfer.  Congratulations, you have

    Last time I recall a blunder when they said 3 - 6 was the blizzard of
    '78. Of course they may have meant 3-6 feet, in which case they
    were right on.
    
    Ya, the -11 is gonna be tough, let's see, to tie it I'd have to break

    	Hi John and evreryone else,
    
    	Running a tourny can be a dirty job....
    
    	John Heelan's GREAT score of -11 net, which would have tied him with
    	the Mad Hacker will not be counted . The reason being that he
    	was playing temperary greens and didn't put out all 18 holes.
    
    	I feel bad because temperary greens or not -11 net is awesome
    	shooting... but to be honest I didn't expect scores to be counted
    	if temperary greens were involved.
    
    	So to be sure; If anyone has posted a score up to now, and didn't
    	put out on every hole, please let me know ... that score will not
    	count.
    
    	sorry , but I feel it would be most fair ;

    Re: Tourney scores
    
    Can't remember, but should we consider the course rating as well? 
    Seems that a 3700 yard course up against a 6900 yard course should have
    some equalizers such as rating.  Maybe variance should be against
    rating so that a 77 on a coursse rated 74 is better than a 77 on a
    course rated 68 or even 58 in the case of most executive courses.

    Whats happening out there? This note is deeeeeaaaad. The weather up
    north has been nice enough for you New Englanders to get out and play.
    I make this observation from  many unreturned phone calls from folks
    who only miss work because of sunny afternoons in the 60s during April.
    
    Is anyone out there getting close to our leader. Maybe you need to have
    the top ten scores in here Walta so the interest picks up.
    
    I have been shooting some decent scores (for me), but nothing
    close to the 78 or so I would need to recapture first place. Another 
    problem is my handicap is coming down (dropped from 18 to 16)which
    makes it even more difficult.

    I don't have any idea whether this gets on the board or not.  I carry a
    USGA handicap of 12.  My course is a par 72, rated 72, with a slope of
    'USGA' 120.  I shot 40/39 for 79.  Is this even close?

    I'm not sure about the rules for this competition , but I had a 73 (+1)
    in a tournament round ( no gimmies ...honest! ) on Easter Sunday.
    It was on my home course here in Ireland, a par 72 course , 6400 yds
    SSS = 71.
    The SSS is the measure of difficulty used in Ireland. Your handicap
    changes as a result of the SSS score - your Nett score.
    My handicap is 8, so it would represent 6 under the SSS ( Standard
    Scratch Score ).
    My handicap will not change, though, as the competition was a fourball
    and is thus non-counting.
    Normally one doesn't hole out on all 18 holes in this type of
    competition but in that case I did. My partner was having an off day.
    
    I'll be interested to see if it counts for the DEC World Open.

Boy, I'm bummed I played saturday for the first time all year, shoot up the
back nine with a 3 over 39 (net 32).  Checking out the DECworld Open I find
that I join a crowd at 39, & am not even close in the net division.  (Of course
if it's a leading indicator of the up coming season...I may get a few more
chances.)

    Well, some new great news out of the Santa Clara golf league. 
    We played yesterday at Franklin Canyon GC and Mike Murphy
    of the commercial sales group shot an even par 72 for the
    day. Mike is a 9 handicapper who has won the first 5 events
    this year in his flight.
    
    Course rating = 68.9
    Slope         = 114
    Yardage       = 6193
    
    Front 9 = 34 gross -5 = net 29 !!
    Back  9 = 38 gross -4 = net 34
    
    Gross = 72   Net =61

    Walta,
      I must correct my reply .73 . Mike Murphy had a net 63 not 61 !!
    My math was a little off. His net 29 on the front side should be
    a keeper though.

    hi MH,
    
    	To calculate the 9 hole handicap   divide the 18 hole by 2 and
    	round down.
    
    	So Mike Murphy would get 4 shots a side making low net score for
    	9 = 30 .

1130.77I did myself one better!GRANPA::RFAGLEYloose cannonTue Apr 16 1991 14:406
    I think I got a better round on 4/18.  Again, USGA handicap of 12.
    course is a par 72 rated at 72.  Slope is 'USGA' 120.  I shot 36/42
    for 78.  This might be my last chance, I see my handicap dropping with
    the new card May 1.

1130.78Why only 4 per side ?RAYBOK::COOPEROne-ton Tomato !Tue Apr 16 1991 17:5710
    Walta,
       I thought you took your strokes where they fell according to
    the rating of each hole. Since five of the holes where Mike got
    strokes were on the front 9, I thought that was how to figure it.
    I don't understand how you could have ann odd handicap then because
    you would be giving up a stroke, please clarify as I am totally
    confused now. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a golfer I'm envious of Mike's good round.  As a stock holder I get worried
when I see the guys in sales playing to well! ;-)  (Just kidding Mike, it's
the envy coming thru.)

    Hi Madness,
    
    	You are right. My mistake...  When playing an 18 hole course
    	there is no need to tinker with the handicap to avoid half
    	strokes.
    
    	Forinstance  if someone has a 9 handicap for 18, they won't
    	be a 4.5 handicap when playing a 9 hole course... they will
    	loose the .5 and become a 4 .
    
    	But in Mike's case he is entitled to the stroke, because he was
    	playing an 18 hole course.
    
    	Sorry for the screwup!
    
    	I'll post the new leader board next.
    
    	thanks  Walta

1130.82You can play 18 on a 9-hole course too.MACNAS::SPOMPHRETTWed Apr 17 1991 12:469
    Walta,
    On this side of the big pond 9 hole course are handicapped/indexed 1-18
    also. Typically the odd numbers are on the "first" 9 and the even on
    the back 9. Therefore, a 9 handicapper would have 5 shots for his first
    nine holes, and 4 for the second nine. Therefore it is necessary to
    know whether a good 9 was either first or second time round the course
    during the play of the 18 holes.

1130.83strokes for odd cappersWALTA::LENEHANWed Apr 17 1991 13:2522

    Hi Sean,
    
    
    	Hmmm... I see your point. A 9 handicapper shouldn't loose a stroke
    	he/she is entitled to.
    
    	When it comes to an 18 hole course it's	easy to handle odd numbered
        handicaps, but with 9 hole courses it begins to get tricky.
    
    	I want to be fair to everyone. Can anyone tell me how you give
        strokes to odd numbered handicappers, when they only play 9?
    
    	If forinstance a 9 capper was to play 9 holes in an after work
    	match... would he/she get 4 or 5 strokes?
    
    	thanks for the help,

1130.86{odd handicaps?}BOSOX::WEWINGThu Apr 18 1991 16:3810
    if you have an odd handicap (i.e. - 9) and only play nine
    holes of an eighteen hole course, shouldn't your handicap
    be one stroke for each of the 9 most difficult holes on the
    course.  If only three of those are on the 9 you play, you
    get three strokes.  If 6 of those 'hard' holes are on your
    9, you get 6.
    
    makes sense to me.
    
    hack nicklaus
1130.87Just do it ;)WALTA::LENEHANThu Apr 18 1991 19:0818
    
    Hi Hack,
    
    	For an 18 hole course getting as many strokes as you
    	are entitled via the difficulty ratings will work great.
    
    	Does that also make sense for a 9 hole course? Maybe all 9
    	hole courses have the tees further back on the first 9, 
    	which would make the odd capper get more strokes the first nine...
    
    	Well I guess I'll just leave it up to all of you to figure out
    	the strokes you deserve when playing 9 ...  I'm sure those
    	who have odd numbered caps will come up with something fair.
    
    	sorry for all the confusion;

1130.88Round of my life!MACNAS::SPOMPHRETTMon Apr 29 1991 12:1826
    On Sun. 28 April, in an 18 hole stableford competition on my home
    course, I beat my best ever previous round by SIX shots. The course,
    Athenry Golf Club in Galway, is a 9 hole one, par 34 per 9 giving par
    68 for the 18.
    I opened up bogey, double bogey, bogey, par double bogey. Just another
    mediocre Sunday morning score, I told myself. Then I freaked out. Pars
    on 6, 7, 8 & 9 brought me to the turn 6 over. Okay, now it was a
    resonable round in prospect. But the second 9 beat everything I ever
    did before: bogey, par, par, birdie, par, eagle, par, par, par.
    Needless to remark my knees were shaking over the last three holes as I
    struggled to keep the score together, but thankfully the holes all
    seemed about 6 feet wide as I sank a 4 footer for par on 16, 15 footer
    from 5 feet off the green for par on 17 and 12 footer for par on 18.
    My handicap is (was) 13, so my scores for the 2 nines and the 18 were:
    
    First nine : Gross 40, par 34, H'cap 7, nett 33 (-1)
    Second nine: Gross 32, par 34, H'cap 6, nett 26 (-8)
    18 ovearll:  Gross 72, par 68, H'cap 13, nett 59 (-9)
    
    I reckon this should get me on the leader board for a while!
    
    I would like to say I don't like to boast, but, shucks, one can only
    take modesty so far!!

    Walta,
       Another entry from the digital GOLF league in Santa Clara.
    This last Saturday (May 18th), Lindalee Cummings shot a fine
    106 at the Laguna Seca GC in Monterey, Cal under British Open
    type conditions. With her handicap of 36 this equals net 68.
    
    Laguna Seca GC - for the ladies 5186 yds, par 72, slope 119
                     rating 70.2

     I presently have a 8 handicap (and soon to drop) in the Maynard 
     Golf league @ Stow. BTW the Grandview is a par 72. This is my best
     gross round ever! 5 bogies and a birdie on the front. 3 bogies and
     pared in from 13 !!!
    
     I have been working out anew swing and can't wait to see what happens!!

1130.104A European challengeSIOG::OGRADYFri May 24 1991 14:5010
    Walta,
    
    Here's another  score to put the Europeans back in the game. Sean Pomphretts
    score needs some support (!).
    I made a par round yesterday (72) over a 6300 yd course in Ireland.
    I'm playing off 8 so the nett isn't mapped !
    Pity it wasn't a competition round, just a friendly money game with
    fellow Deccies.

    With Lennehan, Callahan, Oshaugnessy, Murphy and Ponphrett, do I need
    to change my name to O'Johnson to have a chance?
    
    Is this some sort of green(get it...golf... green...Irish)conspiracy.

    Mike O'Grady won't mind being called Oshaughnessy after that round, will
    you, Mike?
    
    It's nice to see that all the real talent is showing its roots, though.
    Now if only we could have an all Irish team in the Ryder Cup..........
    
    Nice to see new names appearing every week. Keep the scores coming, as
    this is one of the most fun competitions in the whole calendar.

    This is Paul Eno again, I play at Pine Valley Pelham N.H
    This is a nine hole course white tees front nine blue tees back nine.
    the course rating went down to 62.7, slope = 110 which made my handicap
    go up.
    
    On May 26,1991 I hit a 79.
    
    My handicap now = 21 
    
    Front nine I hit 43
    
    Back nine  I hit 36 (my career low)
    
    Total = 79 net 58

    I almost feel guilty about putting this in, the course is very short

1130.122My best nine and best 18 yet (86)TRACTR::OSBORNEMon Jun 24 1991 13:1310
    Well, I didn't make the board for the 9 x 2 but I did tie for one nine. 
    I shot a 40 on the back nine, which has the extra hole for the
    handi-capping, with a USGA handi-cap of 27.
    
    40-14=26  =  -9 (PAR 35)
    
    Best nine I've ever had.  I had a few shudda, coudda, woudda's but
    didn't.  I'm still pleased.

    Well I finally got an official, although extremely high, handicap.
    
    Just got my card, and it says (25).  So I'll hopefully be turning in
    some scores soon......Shane

    Walta,
        I got another one for you !!! On June 15th the digital GOLF league
    played the Las Positas GC in Livermore, Cal. Randi Rost playing to
    a 25 shot 42-39 81 gross 56 net !!! The course is rated at 71.1 with
    a slope of 119. Yardage is 6500 yds. Randi was -2 on the back through
    7 holes and managed to double bogie the last two !! He got 13 strokes
    on the front and 12 on the back. Please post this new low net.
    Thanks.

1130.128best I can do!GRANPA::RFAGLEYloose cannonMon Jul 01 1991 18:425
    I've got a new career low.  USGA handicap 11.  USGA course par is 72.
    USGA slope 120.  I shot 37/37 for 74.  Does it get me on the board?
    If not I doubt I can do any better since my H-cap is falling.

1130.130Does this work???TRACTR::OSBORNEThu Jul 25 1991 16:589
    I'm not sure if this will work here but:
    
    I know for USGA handi-capping 2 consecutive nines can be submitted for
    averaging, well, I shot a 40 Tuesday and a 41 Wednesday, two different
    nines, for a 81 with a new handi-cap of 26 this nets out to 55.  This
    was at Green Meadow in Hudson, NH.  My personal best ever.  No brag
    just fact.

1130.131USGA does, but we don't - sorryWALTA::LENEHANFri Jul 26 1991 10:3512
    
    Hi Stuart,
    
    	Only 18 consecutive and different, holes played the same day can
    	be entered in the "Best 18" category.
    
    	However, you may have a pop at best 9 net? I don't know what
    	you meant when you said " with my new handicap "... so 
    	if you could post your 9 hole net scores it'll help...
    
    	thanks

Boy this competition is tough.  I just shot a 77 on Stow South from the whites 
with a handicap of 14.  This is the first time I've ever broken 80 in my life!
Though I shot 39-38 I don't even make the DECworld Open leader board is any 
category.  My hat goes off to you all.

1130.135Double Bogey BluesTECRUS::DEVERELLWed Aug 14 1991 19:1215
    Might as well clutter the best gross 18 until someone
    shoots sub-par!
    
    Last Sunday, Aug 11, I double bogied the 18th hole
    at Triggs Memorial G.C. in Providence to match my
    lifetime best 18 hole score of even par 72.
    There I was, standing on the 18th tee, 2 under par
    with 5 birdies in hand (my best ever) thinking
    of a birdie on the last hole and breaking 70
    when all of a sudden the right hand decides
    to "get excited" causing the ball to duck-hook
    under trees on the right.........the rest is
    better left to the imagination.

1130.137Net 26 on a par 36AKOCOA::DROMANODisk Bugs For You!Fri Aug 16 1991 12:398
    I play in the DEC league on Green Meadows CC in Hudson, NH.  I just
    shot my best 9 this year with a gross 39 on a par 36 course.  With my
    13 handicap (for 9, ugh) it gave me a net 26 for 9.  Now if I can only
    gain some consistency.  :-)

        With Don Romano's entry of -10 for best net for 9, that means
      that I've witnessed both the low gross (for 9, Mook's 3 under)  and low 
      net scores this year (to date).  I'm better than a rabbit's foot!
      Hey, available anytime, anywhere.   Just pay my greens fee and you
      get a chance at the record book.   8^)
