Week 1 Course Information

Random order has been created for Week 1. There are currently three open spots. One of you is bound to bail, at which point I'll cancel a tee time. Bail sooner than later. 

 

Any addition/subtraction of the roster just moves everyone up/down the list.

I have everyone on the WHITE tees for now (6,288).

Here's a scorecard.

If you want to move back to the BLUE tees, make a comment and you'll gain at least 3 strokes. Keep in mind this is a par 71.

We will allow the GOLD tees for the senior/suck people. If you're 55+ in age (I believe we only have two people) or 25+ in Index (also two people) you can play the GOLD tees. Make a comment, and you'll lose at least 2 strokes.

See you Sunday at 9am.

Note:

 

It's been awhile since we played here. Looking at the scorecard, it says the practice range (left of #1) is considered "Ground Under Repair," and you get a free drop if you hit into it. I highly doubt we were aware of that... but now you know.

Summer 2022 - Week 1

We're starting the season off at Fox Hollow - 9am.

Price should be $63ish and they said range balls are included. So be sure not to pay for them.

More on the course set-up later. See you Sunday.

FBGC - 2022 Summer Teaser

Next season starts in 9 days.

One of our Members created a "teaser" for the upcoming season. Enjoy:

FBGC Boat Day

As part of our duty to hold social events outside of golf, we're going 'toonin.

Geoff and Gorecki have each reserved a boat — leaving out of Ricks on the River — on Saturday, June 4th. This is the day before our first event of the Summer season.

We have a cap of 16 people, and WAGs are welcome.

Comment if you're joining.

 

Be at Ricks at 1pm and BYOB. The boats are reserved until 7pm.

Summer 2022 Board Meeting

Probably the quickest meeting we've ever had, which should be expected since the Club is basically perfect.

But we implemented a couple of big changes... which I imagine will ruffle some feathers. Here are the minutes:

• We revisited the "no gimmie" rule, as was decided in our previous meeting. It was voted 5-0 to stick with it. We feel some of you people actually play faster without gimmies.
  

• Chandler (hey, that's me!) continued his quest to "fix" the Hangover. His big idea was to payout 100% of the prize pool to those who attend the season party. If you don't show up and win the event, you get the points... but not the money. This received some push-back, but the board ultimately voted 5-0 on a compromise:
• 1) The Hangover entry fee is now $15, raising the season dues to $135. I apologize to the four people who already paid... but you owe another $5.
• 2) $10 of your entry fee will be used as it always has been — a combination of league rake and normal payouts for the top 3 to 4 players in the event, regardless of their Hangover attendance
• 3) The extra $5 of your entry fee will be paid in a 70/30 split to the top two players who physically attend the season party.

• We voted 5-0 to allow the Setup Committee to establish a "forward tee" in certain tournaments. This would only be done on a case-by-case basis, when the Committee deems it acceptable. I'm not sure what we're going to call this tee (please send suggestions) but for now we'll call it the "Senior Suck Tee."
• When this tee is available, you can only choose it if you are 55+ years of age OR possess a Handicap Index greater than or equal to 25.0.
• The goal is to provide a slightly shorter option for our aging members, and to entice anyone lacking physical talent to move up and hopefully lower their Index.

• The Dan Suggestions:
• Rejected (1-4) his suggestion to increase the stoke-and-distance penalty from 2 to 3. John was the only Board Member to vote for it.
• Rejected (0-5) the elimination of unmarked drop zones. Technically they are already eliminated unless the Board states otherwise before a round. And any disagreement about drop areas can be worked out by each group. However, we want to remind everyone:
• If you aren't sure a drop-zone exists you can play a provisional. But you must DECLARE it. If you hit that provisional to 2 feet and then find out there's a marked drop zone, you have to then re-hit from that zone. So make your intentions known before re-teeing.
  
• Rejected (0-5) his idea of a $1 payout every time you 3-putt. While we didn't necessarily hate the premise, this can and should be done as a side bet during tournaments.
• Rejected (0-5) his flag stick suggestion. This really only applies to Gorecki, and his group can sort it out.
• Rejected (0-5) a 3-stroke drop for a lost ball. We already have a rule for this (Playing Rule 8.2).
• Passed a Resolution (5-0) that Dan should read the published rules on this website. At his expense (additional Club Credit) the Board is willing to physically print them and mail them to his last known address.

 

The Chairman quickly adjourned the meeting right as someone mentioned the phrase "voting out."

That's all I got. Looking forward to next season!
