seewhere · Jul 14 2010, 08:55 AM

same 6 people every week WTF!!!

any idea why no one comes out to play this mini??? course, entry fee, start time, format?? help us out here folks and let us know why you dont play on Tuesday. Able is trying to run a mini that hardly anyone is supporting!!!!

thanks for the ace beer V.

lilbigarm · Jul 14 2010, 09:42 AM

on a pleasant, shaded course where you can cool off in the water afterwards.

vinnie · Jul 14 2010, 09:42 AM

I think the word just needs to get out........good course, quick play,ctps, swimmng........

seewhere · Jul 14 2010, 09:53 AM

also meant to say THANK YOU to Maxwell Auto for throwing in another $50 to the ace pot.

edman · Jul 14 2010, 10:32 AM

The students at Southwestern Univ. will make this mini a success, not pdga or club golfers. Most of us can only get to play once a week and that is usually Wednesdays. Get signs on the course and at the school. They have a bulletin board there you can post a flyer on. Maybe once the golfers who lurk here see that these students are coming out and getting paid they to will make the trek to GT. Just some thoughts, we never had big turnouts years ago when a mini was ran there by the locals except for the students.

P DUB · Jul 14 2010, 03:06 PM

Ed's right.... tough enough to get away one evening a week.

abel0223 · Jul 14 2010, 03:46 PM

I think it is fine. If people want to play they can show up if they don't have the time then no big deal. I am not in it for the money, I just enjoy playing golf with other club members. Most of the members seem to be better players that can teach me a lot. I never expected more than about 10 people to show up. I just think people take it way to serious, and they forget why they started playing in the first place (to get away from work and have fun with your friends). If you win a couple of bucks in the mean time then that is just a bonus. Next time I am going to just charge 5 bucks, 1 for the club and 4 for the ace pot. No bonus or payout. Maybe then people will just come out and have fun.

abel0223 · Jul 14 2010, 04:15 PM

I am going to make san gabe a ace race after we finish up this series. I will make all the holes aceable. I think that will be better for everyone, because you will not be competing with anyone except for yourself.

I get told I take it way too serious all the time... tonight I'm playing just for fun.

seewhere · Jul 15 2010, 10:09 AM

I guess when the entry ends up being $100 for 10 weeks to play in the league. it takes away some of the FUN... maybe we can look at how waterloo does their thursday summer league play?? one time entry of $25 then keep top 5 of 10 scores!!! Not sure,,, just looking for ideas to get more folks to come out and play... not trying to start crap either so dont go there!!! I have heard more then 1 person say $10 is too much..

so lets see
sunday =$10
tuesday =$10
weds = $5
thursday =$8
free play on friday and sat. YEA

lilbigarm · Jul 15 2010, 11:32 AM

hi abel
you don't need to tweek this mini because your never going to make every one happy. the only way we'd all be happy is drunk on a tropical beach and thats not even guaranteed. it's fine the way it is.

seewhere · Jul 15 2010, 11:55 AM

deleting post due to things being FANTASTIC...and with this group any kind of suggestion is construed as ********!! so whatever

vinnie · Jul 15 2010, 01:12 PM

let do a $2 mini.........then it will big fun

seewhere · Jul 15 2010, 01:25 PM

whatever

vinnie · Jul 15 2010, 03:23 PM

"me" !

abel0223 · Jul 15 2010, 03:33 PM

Come on guys. Can't we all just get along LOL. I'm not trying to get everyone all stirred up so why don't we just let it lye. Next tuesday I want everyone there and before we tee off we are going to have a big group hug(shirts on). I never wanted to **** anyone off, I was just trying to get something going on a day that I would be able to play.

seewhere · Jul 15 2010, 04:05 PM

no biggie Able I was just trying to figure out why the mini is getting smaller instead of bigger ... no one ****** or mad here.. no thanks on the group hug.. I am good.

abel0223 · Jul 15 2010, 04:19 PM

Do you need a one on one hug? LOL. I hope you will be there next week!

lilbigarm · Jul 16 2010, 07:30 AM

my post was supposed to be funny.

P DUB · Jul 16 2010, 08:29 AM

Larry, your post wasn't funny.
Chris, your idea was horrible.
Abel, thanks for ruining everone's Tuesday.

lilbigarm · Jul 16 2010, 09:27 AM

now that's funny.

may · Jul 16 2010, 01:56 PM

The reason I don't make tuesday's is due to the cost of the mini 10.00........being on a tight budget I can make a few but with playing tuesday and wednesday thats 15.00 bucks per week and 60.00 a month just to play twice a week..........if people would start building homes again and the economy came back, then it would be no-problem other than the 2-hangovers instead of the normal 1 per week......not to mention the dollars spent on CFO's for twice a week...........I know I know......why do I have to drink when I play??? Cause I can & I like it...........but will try and make a few more cause it was fun and still have not played the revamped San Gabriel course yet.......LK say's its fun.............

johne · Jul 20 2010, 09:38 AM

bump

vinnie · Jul 20 2010, 09:46 AM

bunp?
I think johnE is hickuping

edman · Jul 20 2010, 10:09 AM

I never have gotten why people do that. Enlighten me to the reasons, inquiring minds want to know.

vinnie · Jul 20 2010, 10:16 AM

come one come all, good times, ctps, cool course and you get to see the river....IF I remember I will bring a CTP also

johne · Jul 20 2010, 10:35 AM

'bump' as in, bump this topic to the top, as a means to get that other non DoubleR crap below the topics we spend the majority of our time on.

edman · Jul 20 2010, 10:52 AM

gotcha
