Have organized a weekly game for 10+ years and have found biggest considerations in what you set up are

1) Range of capabilities of the group.

If groups handicaps are in a somewhat tight range, and generally play from the same tees, then you have a lot of options to set up fair group game. Stableford, ABCD Teams, 2 man scrambles, skins, birdies, etc all work well.

If the group has a wide range of handicaps and play from different tees, it’s a bit more of a challenge to have a group game where an individual or a team doesn’t feel disadvantaged by the way the game is set up.

2) Ease of game management.

Team games are more difficult to set up. If someone has to drop out at the last minute it can be a nightmare to adjust and keep teams balanced. And managing personalities can sometimes limit team possibilities……again making it difficult to keep teams balanced.

Individual play games give much more flexibility in putting groups together, adjusting for player changes, allowing for guest play, etc

Our group has a wide range of handicaps and plays from 4 different sets of tees. After trying a number of different options over the years we landed on a target score group game. Each player contributes a $5 buy in and has a target score based on their handicap from the tees they play that day……ie if your handicap is 10 from the blue tees your target is 82 (par +10) for the game that day.

Players are awarded 1 point for each stroke they beat their target by and everyone who beats their target shares in the pool money……with the pool money being prorated by number of points earned. If only one player makes points, he gets the entire pool. If one player makes 2 points and another makes 1 it’s split 2/3 and 1/3.

To keep it fair, we play it down when conditions permit, no gimmes, and count all your strokes til you hole out. Everyone’s handicap is managed in GHIN.

Each group also plays whatever other games they might want inside their foursome. My group usually plays birdies and runs a rabbit.

Whatever you do has + and -………you’ll figure it out and have fun. Good luck!

Don’t remember many spiders in Peach Lake……but a lot good memories hammering the woodies back in there!

Could be as simple as providing the sellers registration documents along with the bill of sale.

I’d pass on any boat that hadn’t been previously registered. Results in another level of hassle to make it legal for you and your son.

Correction………DMV website!!!

I’ve always done 2 bills of sale……one for the boat and motor and one for the trailer. Notarize both bills of sale and the title for the trailer when you meet to do the exchange. Coordinate with a notary to be present.

On high beam setting bright enough to run the duck boat in the woods.
Dial it down or use floodlight mode for anything else. Top notch light.
