Bito/Gomez would like an opportunity to actually play against Robb/Ryan. So I tweaked week 8 to give them that match-up. In doing so, Frank/Steve now play the Asians in a rematch of week 4, but without Bobby dropping nukes on them. I think this change actually makes the schedule better, giving E-Flo/Cong a chance to go up against the normal Frank Squad (assuming everyone can play that week).
-----------
Next is the handicap issue of Frank/Bobby vs. Reid/Geoff in week 7. Here's the data we have:
- On the same course (Bloomingdale), on the same day, from the same tees... Frank/Bobby shot 67 while Reid/Geoff shot 89. That's a difference of 22 strokes.
- If I take Frank/Steve's actual handicap data... and plug in a round of 67 at Bloomingdale... it drops them to 5.6, which is a difference of 8 strokes from Reid/Geoff's HCP.
- Frank/Bobby's gross average is 67 (one round of data) whereas Reid/Geoff's is 83 (five rounds of data), a difference of 16 strokes.
So I really don't know. We can revisit it after we get one more weeks worth of data. If I had to go on my "gut feeling," I'd say an accurate number of strokes would be about 11. That way if Frank/Bobby shoot par, Reid/Geoff would tie with their average of 83. And if Frank/Bobby go under par again, it forces Ebony and Ivory to go under their average.
But like I said... it's just a guess at this point. So discuss, and try to get up to 70 comments this time.
How come Geoff and Reid aren't getting any better...
ReplyDeleteSimilar to how the alcoballics past few seasons have been going.....
ReplyDeleteCause they can't chip.
ReplyDeleteMe and Justin aren't getting any better either... sadly.
Hey Frank, how far did you go in the past 3 playoffs? Ohhhh, that's right, not very...
ReplyDeleteZING!
ReplyDeletePretty sure Frank and Bobby will shoot under par.
ReplyDeletecuz were too busy grilling for the whole league... Mark it down this season!
ReplyDeleteWe're more of a sprinter kinda team, not a marathon
ReplyDeleteWeve got a bunch of vaporizing alcoholics on our team. We're only good for an hour or so at a time
ReplyDeleteAlcohubbies
ReplyDeleteI say we give them 8 strokes
ReplyDeleteHahaha...you should change your team name to the Vaporizers. You guys are pretty stacked this season so anything less than a Championship is a failure.
ReplyDeleteHaha... you would pick the fewest of the discussed strokes, Frank.
ReplyDeleteMany more comments to go to get to 70.
Oh, Frank and Steve sent me a genius idea yesterday. I'll be looking into that this week.
I could see Geoff and Token shoot a 78. We could shoot a 68. Maybe do it 10 strokes... IDK..
ReplyDeleteHopefully we wont be the Miami Heat of Kickball
ReplyDeleteIs Florian the Chris Bosh of Superbad? Has a few good games, but not really worth the max money?
ReplyDeleteHe actually paid us...
ReplyDeleteDeal of the century.
ReplyDeleteIf Steve and I would be giving Geoff and Reid 4-5 strokes if we played them tomorrow, I dont think Bobby and I are more than 4-5 strokes better than that.. Meaning we should give them 9-10 strokes?
ReplyDeleteI don't know... Bobby Boucher is the man.
ReplyDeleteLike I said... my gut tells me 11. But I don't have much of a gut. So if they agree on 10 then run with it.
From what I've heard, we could give Bobby 12 strokes and he'd beat us by himself. If you give us 10 and shoot par... then we have to shoot 82 to just tie. Which you guys are likely to shoot under par, so we'd have to play lights out to even keep it close. I'd say give us 5 on the front and we can talk after 9, but...
ReplyDeleteHow's 10 sound? That's one less than chandler suggested and 2 more than you think is fair, so it's probably fair-ish. You'll likey still smoke us.
Thoughts?
Im ok with 11, I just dont know if Bobby was at his best at Bloomingdale or not. I know he said it was a good day for him. Ive only played with him that one time, so I dont know how consistent he is...
ReplyDeleteI could see us shooting par maybe on an average day? Idk.
ReplyDelete72 vs an 83? I think you guys could do better than an 83 though, as we could do better than a 72.. I think 11 would be fair?
Let's call it 11.
ReplyDeleteIf Frank/Bobby go below par again... then you can easily make the case that it's about time Ebony and Ivory shoot in the mid 70's.
How about we call it 10.5... so there aren't any ties.... haha
ReplyDeleteI think that works.. If they shoot their best, a 78, we'd have to shoot what we did last time to win, a 67
ReplyDeleteWe got ourselves a God Damn deal?
ReplyDelete10.5 it is!
ReplyDeleteWe should sell tickets to this thing... Pay-per-view?
ReplyDeleteI want to play with the pro! When do I get a chance at MR Bobby JONES?
ReplyDeleteGOMEZ/.............BITO
Bito helped with your signature just now. Put that down on your scorecard.
ReplyDeletelol... Hey, since it is 3 weeks away, can we see how you guys do this next weekend, then decide if we want to keep it at 10.5? That is if you guys get any better...
ReplyDeleteIt's Bobby Bottleservice btw..
ReplyDeletehttp://FunnyOrDie.com/m/2qci
Yeah we can talk about it next week. At least we have some sort of starting point.
ReplyDeleteBut they're playing Robb/Ryan... so they'll probably shoot 90 this week.
can i come drive around in a golf cart and watch these shenanigans and drink?
ReplyDeletesomeone should learn how to spell substitute on this blog <>
ReplyDeleteWe spell it the British way.
