those in the top half of the crowd we have that day

[johne]

that's what "pro/am" really means to a bunch of people who show up for our minis.....cause that's the only way to easily divide up the top half (the "pros", note the quotation marks), and the bottom half (the "ams").

[johne]

speaking for myself, i like singles or handicap singles. Also like pro/am. One good point about which format to play is, weather....I would assume that as far as singles vs doubles goes, its preferable to do doubles at the hottest part of the summer and leave singles for the non-hottest part.....and that's something another cabinet member brought up the other day.... in the end, we voted and pro/am was what we came up with.

Lets do pro/am at least tomorrow, and also tomorrow, lets get a straw poll from everyone there as to what they want for the next league. If its overwhelmingly something other than pro/am....then we do what the majority wants! It should also be stated that other than one non cabinet member, we (cabinet) haven't heard much as far as suggestions...just reactions after a decision is made. Much preferrable to do what the majority of the MEMBERS want.

And of course, if you want it done your own way....by all means run for the cabinet next year.

An open meeting, as required twice a year in the by-laws, might be a good oportunity to get member feed back. Thought we were having one in Feb following the Bag Tag Challange, but I never heard anything & it's almost June.

If you're asking here, the same 7 people are gonna say the same thing we've said for years - doubles doesn't help my game any more than it does Vinnie's. I don't consider the weather when considering the format - if I'm competing, I'm playing sun, rain, wind, sleet, etc., so weather is just not a factor for me. & I find changing the format because of weather insulting (playing dubs on an announced singles night because it's too windy or there's a threat of rain - really, I'm gonna pull out of the Vibram because there's a freak snow storm in Sept in Mass - not so much). I understand we want big numbers at the mini - trust me - you asked for input, & I'm offering it.

If you're asking @ the mini - generally half the group cares & half the group wants to have fun & we all have trouble remembering what the ideas that so & so brought to us @ or before sign up by the time we finish the round. Also the group that cares is often put to he side because it's the voice of a few squeakie wheels that don't wanna just go with the heard continuing to play doubles.

Remember guys you were elected by your piers, they have trust in you that you will make the right decisions for the club. Members should be offering constant feedback in a positive manner, but unfortunately most ot the time it makes it's way to a public forum and is viewed as a negitive. Good, bad or indiffrent it's best to make decisoins and move on.

7 days in a week and weds is not the day to either earn $$ or play serious golf or at least that is the way the club started out. hence $3 entry fee. if folks are really serious about trying to improve their game they should play at a different mini or try practicing on their own time..

Agreed! Wednesday is a fun day! And should stay that way

As far as earning money....you have to go South to play money minis. Everything up North is for fun......my biggest payday at a regular Round Rock mini is about $22..............last Monday at circle C first got $70, So when I play in a Round Rock mini......my expectations are not high.........too bad all the good course are here in Round Rock.....if we only had a" all the time" singles mini.....we would attract players outside of the club So we could compair our skills with someone other than our drinking buddies.........but this is coming from the only 1000 rated player in Round Rock......ever wonder why we don't have more 1000 rated players with the courses we have......when there is a solid handfull 1000 rated players in Austin that play crappy courses..........we do have more fun though.
Looking forward to playing tonight!

Today's fun day could be a wet one!

if you agree why you always stirring the POT on the weds thread ??


sounds like someone should step up and run a monday or friday mini up north and play singles all the time and have the $10 entry fee like they do down south and see how it goes!! Good luck with that. i think there is something on tuesday that is singles...

[vinnie]

Once again the rain knows to leave OSP alone on Wednesdays. Now if we could just teach the wind to be as respectful.

I'll get scores up later today, but the highlight was CWare/Keith turning in a STUNNING 6 down, 6 strokes ahead of the 2nd place team.

[edman]

what's stunning is you guys let keith play am

[seewhere]

for sure because his 902 rating def makes him a pro..

[vinnie]

hey guys.......this is just fun time.....anyone bragging, complaining,or questioning don't get it.......Wednesday is for FUN

[seewhere]

ding ding we have a winner. per pdga cut off for pro is 975....personnally I like seeing lower rated players stepping up and trying out the pro waters...

for those of you who heard me say i shot 10 over, i went back and realized i did make a birdie in there. Must have written down 4 originally cause the past few holes were 4's. lol

[johne]

ratings i guess matter relative to everyone else, so as to know who is in top half and bottom half. Other than that, the absolute number is meaningless for dividing up the crowd.

So did you apply the appropriate penalty for mis-scoring the hole?

[johne]

crap. Back to +10

[Lala]

LOL - no penalty - Weds are for FUN remember, not for getting better, or learning about rules. Just having FUN throwing a disc with w/friends & drinking a few CFO's

[may]

Going pro today I guess.........so Steve-O & Mike W can move back down.....John EEE you have to move up with me remember......????? Great weather out there today.....windy but when is'nt it out there.....look forward to some fun golf, CFO'S and hanging with the fella's & Lala........see all around 4:15 or so.........Will the snake murderer be there today???? (LT)

[MVP]

Only poisonous ones. I never kill the good ones. Won't be able to play till Monday, on antibiotics for upper respiratory infection.
