I'm officially 3 weeks out from my second entry into a 3 round tournament. Last yr I came in 2nd in my flight (sorry winners only)...in a total field of 26 players.
This yr there are 28 players and the defending champion in my flight is back.
Aside from taking a swipe at his kneecap, I'm trying to get myself tournament ready.
By that...obviously I need to play/practice but one of the major things I need to do is handle slower play better. I don't think we're speed demons week in week out, but 4 to 4.25 hrs on a Saturday is about our normal pace...these tourney rounds take closer to 5 hrs (in spite of +3 pick up, and inside the leather putts are automatic good)
That's a lot of standing around waiting. Especially in the "flight" round (we play 1 round to flight and the other 2 are the tourney rounds. In the flight round you could be paired with a 30 hdcp.
How would you get ready for this?
