[LegoRules]

which tee box's are used in league? maybe i should just wait to see but im kindof curious so i can practice up

My understanding is all the long's except 11 I think.

Cindy :)

[XandorF]

thanks, 11 would make sense... seeing as i dont think there is one there...

[XandorF]

how is my handicap decided? this is my first year playing and first time around in league. and also... is it doubles or what?

im not gonna be able to sleep, its like waiting to go to Disney Land!

[TreeLove]

See web site for details: www.lunchtime.us

Lunchtime League is a handicapped singles series. We will be playing singles.

Initial handicap is determined by the "highest division you have played in any event no matter how small":

* Initial Handicap: Pro = +4.8 / Adv = +1.6 / Int = -1.6 / Nov = -4.8

(If you have never played a tournament, you may help us select which "division" is most appropriate for you.)

For players who have played in League before:

* Initial Handicap Bump (except Pro: your last year's LL division plus +1.5 shots)

Remember, initial handicap is only effective for you first two outings, after which it is calculated as "80% of the difference between your average and the field average".

Yes, hole 11 has only one tee. (The "long" tee was closed years ago for safety reasons. It may only be used for Ice Bowl, which is currently not being held, but watch out for StumpTown to maybe bring it back....) All other holes are played from the long tee in League. Do you know where long tees are for holes 4 and 9? (For that matter, do you know where the short tee is for 5?) On hole 4, players unable to regularly throw the 319' required to get in bounds on a straight line might consider laying up onto the mowed grass on the right.) I can get you a map if need be.

Remember that League is handicapped, so everyone has an equal shot at winning, no matter which course we play. League rewards players for improvement throughout the season. It's a lot of fun, and a great way for beginners, kids, ladies, older folks, etc. to have some fun in a casual tournament format.

[Susie Sunshine]

It's Monday!!! :yay::yay::yay:

[NWDiscer]

:confused:

so what are the rules for dogs on church property?

Is it on a leash and under control?

thanx

[Susie Sunshine]

As far as I'm aware, dogs are welcome, as long as they're leashed and under control. :)

It's full.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

It's full.

Can I get on the wait list and is camping free?

Bob

[Sam]

Wait, wait... as a "Pro", I get 4.8 plus 1.5 strokes as my initial handicap? Are we going for an AM-Only league or what? 6.3 strokes as an initial handicap seems kind of steep to me.

[jevon]

Wait, wait... as a "Pro", I get 4.8 plus 1.5 strokes as my initial handicap? Are we going for an AM-Only league or what? 6.3 strokes as an initial handicap seems kind of steep to me.

It will only push you to make you better... :D

[Susie Sunshine]

Sam, I read "except Pro" in the initial post, so I don't think that plus applies. :)

[Sam]

Yes.... reading comprehension would do wonders for my posting game. Thanks, Susie. See ya this evening. :cheers:

[Hippy007]

Affirmative! Darr/Adams/Greene/Jones will throw down the DOGS!!
Bring on week two!! I would like to remind everyone of my STRICT yet LOOSELY enforced (read: No REAL penalty aside from RAZZING) rule...
ANYONE starting the season in a division lower than Advanced that shoots under par (raw score) from the pro pads is a BAGGER!!! :cop:
I can't remember if we had any of those week 1 :chinscratch::whistler::laughing::laughing:

[Susie Sunshine]

I think Darr's bagger rule should also apply to tourney players who sign up as novices. *cough cough*Over The Hill Bob*cough cough* :laughing::laughing:

You will stay in INT. Congrats on the hot round, it's all in fun. If you have never played advanced in a tournament then you are EXACTLY where you belong. Just expect some jabbing when you do shoot well. :rockon::rockon:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Just expect some jabbing when you do shoot well. :rockon::rockon:

And therefore, Darr will not be expecting any jabbing. :biggrin2:

[Sam]

I can bring a CTP for tonight. MUCH excitement in the brain but the legs are complaining at the marathon that was Milo yesterday.

[TreeLove]

I just spoke with Randy; he told me where the charcoal grills are, and the fire bricks. Even faster, he told me where the gas grill is, and confirmed there will be enough gas, and how to get more gas. Things are coming together.... Won't know about the projector until I get there, but I can always bring a laptop and an extra monitor...

Sexy, kind of, and it's not even Christmas!

[Minordiety]

Sexy, kind of, and it's not even Christmas!

I'' be there tonight, but haven't played in the league before.

[TreeLove]

First-timers always welcome! League accepts the first 60 people to pay their own entry fee in person; doors open at 6 PM.

[Sam]

To pay their own entry fee? You are not allowing people to pay for their friends?

[TreeLove]

You read correctly. No paying for your friends. Just like Tuesday Twos. In the interest of fairness (to those who have no friends).

[dan]

In the interest of fairness (to those who have no friends).
Thanks for looking out for me! :yay:

["Over the Hill" Bob]

I wanted to shout a big THANK YOU to the good folks from the church for feeding us. The food was incredible! My score not so good, but on the bright side it only helps to make my handicap better. I'll beat that girlie girl Susie Sunshine next week. :shooting:

Bob

[TreeLove]

Indeed, the food was outstanding tonight: Grilled dogs & hoagie rolls, kraut, beans, green salad, potato salad, chips, lemonade, pastries, and more. Nearly a dozen GPBC volunteers showed up and cranked out the feast smoothly.

The weather was ideal once again. We had another FULL FIELD, and even after sitting out I had to turn away one unfortunate golfer who said he had been at the course all day, but had only just learned of League minutes before. He cheerily pledged that he would come early next week, and I recommend that you do the same!

The issue of casual golfers came up again, as the course was very busy in addition to League play. I will approach Albert about the possibility of closing the course for League (assuming we continue to fill), and at the very least I will get some signs posted to warn casual players.

Albert was hugely helpful in checking in players, Stumptown members Patrick & Lonell took care of the Bag Tag, and many players rendered additional assistance: thanks to you all. We are looking forward to the day when the Student Center A/V booth reconstruction is complete; but for now we are learning to get by better and better with the laptop (a real mouse and keyboard helped a lot this week, as did sitting out and preparing the spreadsheet during the round). Thankfully, we still have the projector, allowing us to display scores for those with acute vision, or good corrective lenses.

Week 3 was a total blast, and I hope we have 59 wonderful players show up next week!

Reminders:
* No alcohol, tobacco, etc. allowed in the Student Center, please
* No unattended children allowed in the Student Center, please

Thanks for playing Lunchtime League, see you next week! Never been to League? Consider this: the top 3 winners today were all playing in their first week of League 2009, and their raw scores ranged from under-par to par to over-par! They won $87.00 combined! Next week's ace pot could reach $114.00!

Lunchtime League web site with scores: www.lunchtime.us

[Darr]

* No unattended children allowed in the Student Center, please



On the fairways either! I think a STERN :laughing: reminder is in order at next weeks players meeting.

Lonell forgot the bag tag results in the student center did anybody happen to grab it? If not I'll deduce results from the spreadsheet. :posting:

[TreeLove]

I usually try to grab those types of things, but I looked and I do not have it, sorry. It's probably still at the Student Center, you may want to contact Caris or Albert. PM me for phone #s if needed.

[blu666z]

Haha. I'm gonna have to start playing in this. I've heard the Lunchtime League mention; didn't realize that course was called Lunchtime. Thought you guys were playing at noon. DOH!

[smobro]

Lonell forgot the bag tag results in the student center did anybody happen to grab it? If not I'll deduce results from the spreadsheet. :posting:[/QUOTE]

Now that is convenient. I have tag #25 now.:biggrin2: thanks for making sure this gets posted. You rock Darr!

[Sam]

Gawain... ghost groups. Close the course to casuals and add in a ghost group to get to 65. I would think 5 or 10 are good holes to use for this. Or 6 and 11. But I think 5 and 10 are better.

I played for the first time last Monday and had an incredible time. Besides that, I was in the cash for the first time ever.

Great event. Will come back fo' sho.

[Darr]

Stumptown has stepped up to donate a CTP for each week the rest of the season! I've got a Stumptown logo water bottle for next week. :rockon:

[TreeLove]

Maybe that triple-digit heat was too much for my shriveled old brain (probably
why I squandered 5 birdies by tacking on 3 bogies), but I forgot to copy the
scores onto my flash drive, so I could not post them until I returned to the student center.

Also, I thought I would poll folks to see if we wanted to throw in for some
pizzas, in case there is no food next week. I know Papa Johns used to give GPBC good deals on stacks of pizzas, and maybe they're close by enough that someone could run down after their last hole and grab them? Would you be willing to throw in $2 for pizza as a backup plan?

All I can add at this point, (though I hope to wax poetic through statistical analysis before interest wanes): DAVID BABUKA HOLDS ON!

Amazingly even knowing he would miss the last 2 weeks of League, he WON THE whole thing, including the CUSTOM MACH III PORTABLE BASKET!

His wisest move in my opinion, LETTING EVERYONE KNOW he would be missing the last 2 weeks, thereby mentally mind-bending the ENTIRE COMPETITION, causing them to implode, melting down AGAINST EACH OTHER, and NO ONE bettered his 10-best total after week 12!!!

Don't think he didn't earn it either - whenever I happened to play Lunchtime who did I see - practicing alone? DAVID BABUKA!

:bowing::bowing::bowing:

Yeah... thanks Gawain for another awesome season. Already jonesing for next year. :drool:

Thanks Gawain and everyone else who helped out. Lunchtime league was great again this year, even though I wasn't able to make it as often as I would have liked.

[Darr]

It sure was a bummer to not head out to Lunchtime for league night tonight.
I made up for it putting on my new Mach Lite I won in the finals. :rockon::rockon: 1st in PRO :laughing:
Thanks again Stern for another great season. I'm already looking forward to next year :drool:
