  1. At least write down your approach distances and first putt distances. As @iacas said, you are limited by the stats you're collecting. eg. I shot 37 on the back of my CC last week, hitting 7 girs. 17 putts. Did I putt bad? You might think so, until you see that 6 of those were 35+ feet, and I 2-putted each one. Quite the opposite, I putted great.
  2. No, he was not able to keep up with the other walkers. He's a push cart guy as are all the walkers but 1. The groups get mixed up each week so everybody has a chance to play with everybody else. You don't necessarily know who is walking and riding as some guys flip between the two depending on the weather (ie. been really hot lately so more riders). "That guy" still walks. If there was an open seat, pace is better but still slow. No way this guy is getting put in the first group unless there's a 3 some. To someone else, no way in the world we are playing a 5-some.
  3. We had a 3-day club championship this past weekend. Never had a 3-day stroke play event before. In the past it was stroke play, then match play. But this had a different vibe. Need to hold it together for three days. Anyway, I played well, came in 7th, which I was aiming for a top 10 (I'm a 2.x and there are many scratch and + caps in the championship flight). I even beat a few of those guys. But then I wake up yesterday, and even today, and I'm down. Not for how I played, but bummed it's over. This ever happen to anyone else? I actually get this feeling after the Masters too. Got the Senior CC in a couple of weeks, so I have that to look forward to!
  4. At my club, this one dude runs the weekend game. Usually 16-20 players each week, sat/sun morning. I help him with handicapping and some rules/skins, etc. It got large enough to the point where he started assigning tee times for the groups. Used to be we'd have 12 guys so we'd just pair up on the first tee, but with 20, nobody wants to be standing around for 45 minutes if they're in the last group. Anyway, there's this one guy, older dude, early 70s... well, nobody want to play with him. He's SLOOOWWWW, and to top it off, he insist on walking. My course is a DIFFICULT walk. Very hilly, few holes with some space between green to tee, walk from 9 to 10 sucks, etc. Add to that 90 degree heat, his age (and I will hand it to him), it's just brutal. I was paired with him a month or so ago and we had 3 walkers and 1 rider, and I INSISTED he hop in the cart on the difficult parts of the walk. But a free seat isn't always available depending on the makeup of the group (ie 2 walkers and 2 riders). I suggested that he just make the guy last each week, and spread the love around, where everyone has to play with him every 3-4 weeks. What have you guys done in such a situation?
  5. They don't get "worse" or "better", they get adjusted for the tees you are playing. Note that there may be other handicap allowances (i.e. percentages) applied depending on the format. For example, 2-man best ball might be played at 90% of your course handicap, and if there was any just in the world, they'd use everybody's lowest index over the last 12 months...
  6. This is where a loud conversation between you and another guy in the group within 5 feet of this guy is warranted. Talk about how "Bill" has ED or something...
