We're a little less organized this year — but that's what makes it "fun"!
Right?
As previously mentioned, we are only booked (allegedly) at one course right
now. The good news is there's a ton of options down there so we should be able
to pivot if needed.
But for the sake of the draft, here are the three scorecards I expect us to
play. Please note (someone tell Moostie since he doesn't read the blog)...
1) Gary and Troy will be playing forward this year.
2) There's a chance Troy might bail due to his injured back. If that happens,
he'll be replaced with whomever we can find. I wouldn't count on ANY of our
Alternates stepping up, but if needed it'll be a first-to-commit situation.

Verandah
- Whispering Oaks - Chapman
We're booked here Friday at either 1pm or 2pm. Not sure... they haven't
confirmed yet. Anyway, we played here twice in the 2024
Rapture. Since your memories are shit — that's the one where Geoff beat
Brendan in a sudden death playoff.
We are playing the No. 3 tees - with Gary/Troy on the
3/4 Combo tees.
Handicaps:
------------------
Ibis Landing -
Four-Ball
I've never heard of this course... obviously never played it. Looks hard. Ho convinced me we should all move up since it's a par 71.
It has good
reviews online. Hopefully they'll put us on the tee sheet.
We're on the III tees.
Handicaps:
------------------
Webbs Reserve - Singles
We'll find out in a couple of weeks if we can get on here. They didn't think
it would be a problem. Brand new course inside the Babcock Ranch development.
Greens should be quite firm.
Playing the III tees - with Gary/Troy on the III/IV combo tees.
Handicaps:
Do we have the option of playing back ?
ReplyDeleteNo
DeleteI’m sure I can fill in for Troy, if needed. I’ll play lightning fast from the forward tees
ReplyDeleteThank you for your potential service.
DeleteWasn't that hard to convince, pretty sure I just said I was surprised we were playing a par 71 at 6150 when moving up is still 5800 (roughly equivalent of a par 72 at 6000) and you said yes, I'm short off the tee we are moving up
ReplyDeleteYour 190-yard duck hooks off the tee is going to cause someone to lose the Rapture
DeleteWe both know my duck hooks still go 210
