The SportsHoopla Open Open

[HizzleRocker]

Same rules as we did with the Masters. Current Trophies:

Toby Tyler - 1
Field - 0

Deadline for round entries is Saturday the 14th at 9pm est.

1) You must post on here BEFORE you play. This avoids a player getting in 3 rounds and cherry picking the best one before posting. Don't care how much advance you give, it just must be before you play.

2) Use your honest handicap. If you don't have a handicap, average your last 5 rounds, and you get 80% of the average for your strokes.

3) Be honest. Lying about your golf score is about the douchiest thing in sports, so don't do it.

4) On Saturday night, or first thing Sunday morning before tee off, I will randomly draw a name for each player, from the top of the leaderboard down. (Ex. If we have 6 people play, I will draw top 6 from leaderboard for each of us).

5) We will pair your NET Round with your partners. Winner will be the SportsHoopla Open Champion for the year.

I am currently a 1.4 handicap. On my course that = 2. I will be playing (weather permitting) my round on Saturday morning the 14th, and will post after.

I've been out with a back for a few weeks, but played Sun...no issues, so I expect to play this weekend...will confirm as I get closer to Fri.

Lol...makes you wonder...I'm playing tomorrow.

 

[HizzleRocker]

Well, for what it's worth, I am playing this morning. About to head out in an hour. Will post this evening.

 

[HizzleRocker]

Just got back. Played pretty well in tough windy conditions today. 4 birdies and an eagle, yet still shot 73 (1 over).

2 pops gets me to (-1).

Sure hope we get more than 1 or 2 scores, or we'll just not do it next time.

Playing tomorrow but its my first 18 hole round of the year and it's at a top notch track. It won't be pretty.

Yea ...but your attitude is perfect and sets up well for a good time on the course.

Went surprisingly well. 79 on a 7300 yd par 72 track with a 75.9 rating & a slope of 147. Some of may have heard of Laurel Valley in western PA before. Its actually held a bunch of big events including a ryder cup & a pga

You were only 6 over on a 7300 yard course? ..that is just a tad longer then most PGA tour courses.

And you said you were rusty. Your game has to be on the semi pro level.

 

[SFNL]

At one time it actually was at pro level. Only thing today that was sharp somehow was my wedges from 100 & in. Missed a few short putts too.

The course has hosted a pga tour stop as recently as a few years ago.

Played there a few back and carded a sweet 92. Round sucked but beers and buds made it a great day anyway.

 

[SFNL]

Oh.. it was soaking wet there today too. No roll at all. Long irons & woods into par 4's. Next time we have an open I'm going to find a muni to play lol.

Played Lane Creek on Sat...blue tees...6177/69.5/128

Short, tight track with small undulating greens.

13 index...43-43 86...net 73.

Played very well (for my game) on the front 9...a birdie and 4 pars, until I hit a major problem on #9...took a +4, 9 on that hole. Back was mostly good drives, missed green, missed the par...bogey...only 3 pars on the back, but nothing real ugly either.

Nice playing. 86 with a quad is pretty good. Don't think your handicap will even let you take a quad, so the round is likely more like an 84 or 85.

Yeah...not much fun with only 2 or 3, but I'm guessing Toby is traveling as he has not been online much the last few days and others probably didn't know what we were doing.

I didn't want to adjust for ESC and take my strokes off that, but you're right...7 is the max score I can take.
