Off-Season Exhibition #2 - Herd Those Cats!
OK... I'm one of those cats since I erroneously confirmed a date to some of you at Wentworth. But let's attempt to pick a date for the next off-season event.
Format: 2-man scramble. Movable tees (sometimes called a Red, White and Blue Tournament). Random pairings. Handicapped (to be explained later). Entry cost... $20 winning team take all. Same team restrictions as the last event (first come, first served... must have an even number of teams).
Bar Night: Not mandatory, but a bunch of us had joked about going out to a bar this off-season with our old high school Letter Jackets. Literally has nothing to do with golf, but if we go out on a Friday we can draft the teams, giving me enough time to set up a leader board for Sunday.
So we need a Sunday date where the "bar people" are also free Friday. This is NEVER going to happen. But here we go:
A. November 3rd/5th
B. November 10th/12th (Veterans Day weekend)
C. November 17th/19th
D. December 1st/3rd
E. December 15th/17th
Only tell me which one of those you are IN. I'll pick the date with the most respondents by the end of the week... and then use the order you replied for your registration. Hopefully there is a clear winning date.
A (10) - Chan, Gary, Geoff, Ho, John, Casey, Katie, Greg, Gorecki, Reid
B (13) - Chan, JW, Moostie, Gary, Faz, Buchert, Geoff, Ho, Robbie, John, Casey, Gorecki, Reid
C (15) - Chan, JW, Darren, Gary, Faz, Geoff, Ho, Robbie, John, Casey, Greg, Gorecki, Reid, Anthony, Brendan
D (16) - Chan, Darren, Moostie, Gary, Faz, Buchert, Geoff, Ho, John, Casey, Katie, Greg, Gorecki, Reid, Anthony, Brendan
E (12) - Chan, Moostie (?), Gary, Faz, Buchert (?), Geoff, Ho, John, Casey, Greg, Gorecki, Reid, Anthony
OUT - Dave (injured)
-----------------------
UPDATE
"D" has exactly 16 people. If anyone bails then the last 3 in will need to hope JW or Dan can make it.

Low Ball / Low Total Exhibition Results
Wentworth is hard. Heard a few "I'm never playing here again" comments out there. The greens were in great shape, but why are they so tiny? So many ways you could make that course better. Anyway:
Big money (up to $60) on the line yesterday. Robbie and Katie stomped the JW's... winning the full total. I expected Katie to have some rust since she hasn't played much lately. Instead she fired a 93, lowering her handicap index by another 1.1 points. Speaking of, we currently only have three members with an index in the 20s. Keep it up!
Chandler and Faz had to win two points on the final hole to avoid paying $60 to Gary and Tall Mike. The Moose was playing out of his mind, and carried Gary to the money (only $20, unfortunately). But a win is a win.
Scottish Dave took an early Brexit, refusing the play on a broken leg like Tiger did in the 2008 US Open. The last time Tiger won a Major. Nine years ago. Anyway... I hope he's OK. Get your shit fixed in the off-season!
----------------------------------
Our next exhibition is tentatively scheduled for December 10th, with a bar outing on the 8th. Put it on your calendars, and be ready to RSVP when I make the post. It will once again be a first come, first served event... with a requirement of even teams. Also, if you own a High School "letter jacket," go find it and get ready.
I just lost some relationship power and the wife is making me go out of town the weekend of December 10th. I'll make a post soon about possible other dates and choose the one the most people can play.

Sunday Pairings & Handicaps
UPDATE: The off-season is not only a time to forget how to swing a club... but also to forget how to calculate handicaps. Dave pointed out I didn't account for the "different tees" adjustment. Updated handicaps are below:
Buchert (2) & Ho (2) vs. Dave (0) & Darren (7)
Chandler (0) & Faz (6) vs. Gary (7) & Tall Mike (7)
JW (3) & John (1) vs. Robbie (0) & Katie (11)
Remember to bring $60 in cash, which is the max you can lose. Darren plays this game all the time, so I know the first group is good to go. I'm in the 2nd group so we're cool. The final group... John just played it last weekend so do whatever he says.
See you all at Wentworth. 9:30 tee time so get there early.
And just so when you all yell at me tomorrow, below is the math for peer review:
Buchert (2) & Ho (2) vs. Dave (0) & Darren (7)
Chandler (0) & Faz (6) vs. Gary (7) & Tall Mike (7)
JW (3) & John (1) vs. Robbie (0) & Katie (11)

This Sunday
Wentworth is booked for the 6 registered teams... 9:40am.... $35 plus tax.
You have until Friday to tell me what tees you'd like to play (both players don't need to be on the same set). Everyone is on the BLUE unless I hear otherwise (Katie on Red).
On Friday I'll calculate handicaps and we'll figure out who your opponent is. The game is a $20 Nassau of Low-Ball/Low-Total (LGBT!). If anyone needs help transitioning, let me know.
