Wednesday League

[Lala]

Starting this coming Wednesday we'll have 10 weeks of singles by division with an end of league payout - I think they said best 6 of 10 weeks. Flex start (have a card - go play) with last card a 3som going out by 4:00. This will aslo be the end of the Bag Tag Challenge & we'll have the championship @ NorthTown Park in late Jan.

Hey gang..........I am planning on being there tomorrow for first week of singles, but in the event that I don't (family) I would like to wish everyone a safe & happy Thanksgiving......HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

[jamie]

Doubt we'll b there, if so, will have a couple of Arkies with me

[jamie]

Will there be powling tonight?????

[seewhere]

been asked by a few ams if the payout for them at the end of the league will be in plastic or cash? also is there a pot luck style dinner and powling tomorrow after the round? thanks

[Lala]

Should be plastic - that's what every other club in the US does - but I'm not sure.

Planning on pot luck - I'll bring some smoked turkey we cooked while playing North Town this weekend.

So was the tuesday summer mini a one time thing, paid $10, AMs got cash payout weekly and at the end of the 10 weeks, if you had the points, AMs got a 10 week payout. AND SON OF A GUN, I GOT A PAYOUT.

How that goes from Cash to plastic, ????????

That was one of the best ran minis that was around.
I loved it and looked forward to it every week.
Why was that format/payout abandoned?

Tell ya what, Im just a newbie, an AM player.......

Seriously, Im on a ledge here, talk me down.

This may cause some whip-lash, but these are my thoughts. From the time we started charging to play the wednesday mini, we have allways paid out in cash (pro & am). At some point last year or maybe early this year we changed it to plastic and that did not seem to work due to low number of am's. I know one week I won am's and my payout was 8.00$$........we don't have 8.00$$ disc so i got a spotter and a credit which i never used and/or forgot about. So we went back to cash payout's on wednesdays. Believe me I am no pro, but play it so I can learn from the pro's no matter how bad I play, it seems to help in the long run (teams was an example this year). I still don't have their arms but have learned that smart golf sometimes beats big arms. All I can tell you guys (Abel & Manny) is that this club listen's to its members and the new cabinet coming in will also listen to the members, so hang in there, enjoy friends and some golf and believe that whatever the bump in the road give us, we have the power to fix the bump and move forward. I don't play sundays due to the 10.00$$ entry so I can't say anything about sundays. But I do play wednesday's and for 5.00$$ its worth it to me to play pro and donate my cash to someone else's pocket cause I get to see and be around great people and great golf and I learn from it and sometimes cash. I wish and hope that just because every club in the US does it that that does not dictate what our club does as like i said before, we have allways paid out cash for Pro & AM for as long as I have been in the club, and that has been since the beginning. So don't go away, stick around and work with us to fix the bump. Hopefully you are off the fence now. If not, then these words have fallen on deaf ears........Hope to see you guys tomorrow.......

Well May, You have a way with words and have explained things that help me to see things in the right manner and i appreciate that. I will go with the way things are done and if there are any changes/bumps, i will present them to the powers that be and let them vote on them. I will see everyone on wednesday.

[johne]

10 days of my discs collecting dust.....I must say I'm thrilled to be able to play tomorrow!

I'll bring charcoal, some backup Cheap Sausages (tm), and of course, an ice chest full of CFO's!

Ware you got the 'puter covered or should i bring mine?

Baskets?

[may]

Glad to hear that Manny............never ever like seeing a member leave PO-ed about club stuff.........Now it seems Abel needs you to talk with him about this as I'm not sure he has changed his mind about the club............Would love to see him stay with us and enjoy the game we all love..............Heck, I'll play am's with you guys and still have loads of fun, cause thats what disc is to me, FUN!! And at 5.00 bucks, its even more fun.
Come on Abel, bring your 5.00 bucks and lets have some fun......

[ButlerSteveO]

It was Vinnie, Jimmy, and Bryan and I, and when we were putting, Vinnie said "It sounded like a hail storm" with all the missed putts hitting metal...it was "interesting" to borrow LaLa's term...Nice Round ET!!

Folks, here's one doc that has it all....the league info, weekly results, and the league standings, including the running total for end of league payout. Yes, it is a .txt file. No, it is not a spreadsheet.

I'd like to point out that for this 10 week league, we WILL be paying ams in cash during the weekly minis. It will be the end of league payout where the ams will receive merch. No, we don't disagree with the things that some have pointed out about plastic vs cash....especially Blake's well written post. Yes, we realize that things aren't always consistent as we want them to be.

Here's the league info:
http://pages.suddenlink.net/johne/Wi...glesLeague.txt

The top section are some details of the league; i'd be glad to fill in anything I left out, just contact me at jeaves@us.ibm.com. The middle section contains weekly results/scores. The bottom section has the standings. I'll update this each Thursday and send a note out that the page above has been updated.

Manny, can u create a link to the page above, on the Mini tab on the DoubleR website? Thanks! (perhaps we can discuss access so that i can deposit updates to this file weekly on the site hosting our club website...if so i can set up a redirect from the above link, to the Double R site, if it moves there)

Alright, so where do we go from here? Down to lower scores, hopefully. These #'s are embarrassing! Note that you have to play at least 7 of the 10 rounds before your high scores start being dropped. See yall next Wednesday!
