re: Golf trip format

Posted by DestrehanTiger on 9/13/24 at 11:21 am
I did just think of an idea recently for our next trip. You have 4 teams of 2. Depending on the rounds, you can have a simple single elimination tournament, double elimination, or extend matches to 36 holes. My idea is that there is no format, and that is where it will be fun. Prior to each match, t...

We always just do a Ryder Cup format, but we never play alternate shot. So, best ball until we get to the last round, then we play singles. I have found that if the last round is on a day by itself, it is best to finish the contest the round before. It allows more time to celebrate (gloat) about the...
That was such a great game and the moment the Saints showed they were a contender. I completely forgot that Karney scored 3 times that game....
[quote]Oregon, Wisconsin and the Denver[/quote] My concern from the first time I heard about this plan was the population in the area. It's difficult to get to Bandon and a little less so for Sand Valley. This is going to be an easy drive for two of the largest cities in America. For Bandon, we b...

[quote]Super Mario Wonder just came out in the past year or two[/quote] While I had a lot of fun with Wonder, it doesn't feel like the same category as Odyssey. Obviously, one is 3D and the other 2D, but Wonder just felt like such a small game compared to Odyssey. I have really enjoyed BOTW a...

The numbers work at all levels. The Mark Broadie book Every Shot Counts goes into detail on that. The biggest separator from each level to the next is approach play. The closest stats between pros and Joes is putting. Putting is very difficult, and when you get a certain distance from the hole, ...
I was reading the Normal Sport news letter, and this stat for the various strokes gained areas was another indication of the impact of putting compared to the other areas. [quote]3. I did my annual “putting doesn’t matter over a long arc” research earlier this week. Here are the aggregate money n...
I think he's putting way too much thought into it. GRRM has more money than his kids will know what to do with (if he has kids). He is human just like us. Most of us knock out the simple things in our day while putting off the difficult ones. Finishing this epic that he has created is a daunting tas...

[quote]I don't know if total potential can be narrowed down to one thing (course management is way up there), but I do know that great golfers separate themselves from good golfers much more on the putting green than they do off the tee.[/quote] That is because putting is viewed as a fluky stat. ...

Also, the outcome is obvious to anyone with a small knowledge of the GOT world. At least with HOTD, most people that aren't super into the world that GRRM built don't know how it ends. You know the Targaryens kept ruling after the Dance, but it really could be either side winning. ...
I don't really understand the want for Aegon's Conquest for a show. On the surface, it sounds awesome, but when you dig in from story standpoint, it doesn't make a ton of sense. There weren't a ton of problems the Targaryen's faced, there weren't betrayals. It was just a lot of, "Oh yeah, they have...

[quote]And 5+ hrs?? I don’t even understand what people can do to eat that much time.[/quote] That's the thing.
