Hi guys,
I have some news and some topics for discussion.
Stay warm!

Format is 18 holes of 2-man Modified Stableford Better Ball (play your own ball and count the better score of the 2). This is a handicapped event where you get strokes according to your handicap.
Scores for stableford:
Net double bogey or worse | -3 |
Net bogey | -1 |
Net par | 0 |
Net birdie | 2 |
Net eagle | 5 |
Net double eagle | 8 |
Here are the pairings and USGA Indexes of everyone in the outing. Pairings were set based on requests and the few groups where someone didn't submit a request were just randomly thrown together. Please try and load up in a cart labeled with your starting hole so we can get out there without a hitch.

And of course, year-end stat sheets for all! lol ... in color BOOYEAH!
Outing details are below (no one raised any issues with the dates and there weren't really any viable alternatives anyway so we're rolling with it):
The Outing format is still open for discussion. We did a 2-man shamble last time (scramble 9 and better ball 9) that seemed cool, but was complicated. I'm open to suggestions. My current estimate is that we will have $348 for payouts at the Outing.
Well, the first half is over and the results are in. Congrats to Mike Howren and Cory Childers for winning the first half. What an unbelievable last week move!
Notes from the week:
See you Wednesday,

Say hello to Blair O'Neal, our random golf blog hottie to kick off the season. She was on Big Break on the Golf Channel. Hopefully all of you saw the Natalie Gulbis paint bikini in SI! Those pictures would require a serious work warning so I won't post them here.
The year kicks off with matches on 4/18 and Virgil and Ron have the first bye. However, they may show up so if you have a threesome, please offer to fit one in. As for byes, if there is room you may play and collect points against a random draw instead of just getting your season average points (which changes weekly).
On to league news... I am currently in the process of updating my software for 17 teams and doing all the other league set up stuff...
The items updated with 2012 information include:

We're ready to go. Please remember the $100 league dues.
See you Wednesday,

Format will be 9 holes of 2-man scramble on the front 9 and 9 holes of better ball (play your own ball and count the lower score of the 2) on the back 9. This will be handicapped based on USGA index estimates from this season's scores. Because this is an event that requires a partner, it's very important that I know who is not coming.
UPDATE: Looks like the list is complete and we are good to go.

RULES: Front 9 Scramble, Back 9 Best Ball
The Outing date needs finalized. It seems at least someone has a problem with every possible date... so please take this poll and indicate if a date does NOT work for you. If they are all fine, indicate that.
The most likely format at this point is a combination of a 2-man scramble and 2-man better ball. There is a way to handicap these type of events so I will do that based on the estimated USGA handicaps from all the rounds of the season.
