Fall is a great reminder that the league NEEDS the long layoff. It seems most of us are out of town just about every weekend!
Who is around this Sunday? The weather is going to be excellent. I have a Lake Jovita voucher good after 10am... and Brooksville voucher good any time. I know some of you also bought those.
-------------------------------
As our league continues to grow, I'll be formalizing "rules" for new members. Currently, we've been requiring everyone to play a few rounds with us and report at least 5 rounds for handicapping purposes. And anyone wanting to join after week 3 needs to wait until the next season.
If we ever get to around 30 members, I will lock it down and make it extremely structured. It's no different than any other social group or golf club. I'd also consider making us an officially recognized USGA club.
Think of the possibilities: Waiting lists for new recruits and member-guest events. Gorecki attempting to blackball transgendered golfers because he acts differently around them. Yearly board meetings and expanded events. A special parking spot outside my house for the reigning club champion.
But for now, we're just some dudes playing together.
A few people have expressed a desire to officially join next season. But we need more commitment than just saying "hey that sounds fun, I want in." If the season started tomorrow, only Anthony and Crum have enough rounds recorded to play for money and points. And Crum hasn't really said he wants in (marriage and kids will do that).
Katie, Robbie and Casey have all expressed interest and played at least one round with us... but that needs to increase before we start back up in 3 months. So if you're "sponsoring" any of those (or other) people... get them out on the course! We don't ask for much... but we need our new people to 1) show up consistently 2) get involved with discussions on this blog 3) play by and get used to our league rules 4) not be a dick...
Never mind. We do ask a lot. And that's a good thing.
I'll. E coming back from Gainesville on Sunday, but might be able to play a round on the way home. Can't remember which voucher I bought, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm in.
ReplyDeleteIf Gorecki, Geoff and Darren get in that would be everyone who reportedly bought Lake Jovita...
ReplyDeleteCan you clarify the not a dick rule? Does the league operator get a pass?
ReplyDeleteNo. I need to work on my people skills.
ReplyDeleteOut for Sunday. Go play a course I don't like.
ReplyDeleteYou shot 113 the only time you've been to Lake Jovita. So...
ReplyDeleteI'm in for Jovita if you have a spot.
ReplyDeleteMe, JW, Gary, Dave, Darren on Sunday. Need at least one more
ReplyDeleteJovita doesn't have two back to back tee times until almost 3pm. Looking at the calendar, I only have two weekends to use the Brooksville voucher before it expires on 11/4 (lots of tee times Sunday up there).
ReplyDeleteSo I'm probably going to book up there 9:30ish. I imagine that isn't an issue for any of the guys who said they were in.
113 was with the old gorecki swing.
ReplyDeleteBoo. You better go back when I want to use my voucher.
I'm in for Brooksville if that's better.
ReplyDeleteI can't "go back" with you since I'm basically out of weekends before it expires. Sell your voucher to Darren
ReplyDeleteI can't play this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm now out also. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteLight weights, I'll play wherever.
ReplyDeleteAlright I got myself, Dave, Gary and JW if he can make it. I'll book us up at Brooksville.
ReplyDeleteGorecki should still probably sell his voucher to Dave since it expires 11/4
What is the Brooksville voucher? I think I only bought the Jovita one.
ReplyDeleteYou bought the Jovita one. However, the tee time I just booked for us is $30 (voucher was $25). So no big loss on your part.
