Both players hit a drive. Both players then hit their partner's drive. The twosome then picks one ball to finish out the hole on an alternate shot basis.
EXAMPLE: Player A hits a drive. Player B hits that ball for a second shot. Since the pair selects the ball that was Player A's drive, Player A hits the 3rd shot.
Penalty strokes do not figure into the order of hitting the team's ball.
Singles on Sunday..

Stop by if you are in the neighborhood.
OTHER STUFF:
Lil' Natch (Jason Hull) is our fill-in for The Jebster. He is a 26.0 Index.
(And the fact that they both have handicaps is where any similarity ends...)

Fall 2017 - Carroll Valley
​
OK - We are getting to the point where almost everybody has paid...
Trip costs this year are: $456.71 (so after you pay me back for your deposit you will owe $356.71 at check-out.
Cash due on the first tee Friday Morning
:
$50 for the wager (a $50 with your name on it is preferred)
$20 for the Friday PM cart fee
$20 for the Saturday PM cart fee
$5 for Friday night's dinner tip
$5 for Saturday night's dinner tip
$5 for the tip for the starters and bag boys.
$105
Thursday's Practice Round is at Package Rates of $45.
If you are getting a room on Thursday night, it will be $77.15 a person (double occupancy rate).
This will include breakfast on Friday morning.
Bloody Mary Bar is free (as always).
Here's where we stand to date:
We have 15 "paid", 5 "committed" & 2 "on the bubble".
It looks like 2 teams of 10.
Captains will be roomies Duke and Chip. Can't wait to hear these team names....
Contrary to previous trips, I am giving Duke and Chip free rein to set-up the teams as they see fit (as long as they are competitive)....
(I would love to be a fly on the wall for this discussion)
Spring 2017 - Hagerstown
​
We are set at 14 golfers.
It was suggested that we re-form the teams from last Spring's rain-out since Rusty and Natch are reprising their roles as Captains.
That being said, we will reform "Little Bit 'o Natchie" and "If You Want Blood You've Got It".

WE WILL HAVE TWO OPEN SLOTS ON EVERY ROUND.
Friday Morning - Blackrock Golf Course
Friday Afternoon - Beaver Creek Country Club
Sat AM & PM - Richland Golf Club (the old Hidden Creek Golf Club)
Sunday Morning - Musket Ridge Golf Course.
​

Fall 2016
Matches for the first pairing on Sunday have been mutually agreed to by the Team Captains to enable compliance with religious doctrines.
This match is at 7:00 am. The balance of the Sunday matches tee of starting at 9:00 am.
If there is a vast majority of golfers who would prefer the earlier Sunday tee times, I can try to move the rest of the tee times up.
I doubt that this will be possible, but I can try.
Please remember:
I will need $110 in cash from each of you on Friday morning to cover:
$50 - wager (please try to get a $50 and write your name on it).
$20 - Friday's 18-hole replay cart fee
$15 - Saturday's 9-hole replay cart fee
$5 - tip for Friday's dinner
$5 - tip for Saturday's dinner
$5 - tip for Starters and bag boys
$10 - to help pay for this year's apparel item
As always, the Bloody Mary Bar will be provided by the tournament staff.
This year's bar will offer:
- Bloody Marys
- Screwdrivers
- Orange Crushes
- Vodka & Cranberry
Any other suggestions (other than providing Grey Goose)?
How does everyone feel about chipping in $10 for an MVP Award for the golfer that wins the most points for his team?
Rob & Stew didn't want to wait until final handicaps were set (figuring no one's handicap will move that much anyway)...
So they have already picked teams.
THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM ENTERING SCORES OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TO GET YOUR FINAL HANDICAP INDEX FOR THE TRIP.
Here is what they picked (God help us all, Marjorie...)
TEAM MEDLEY:
Rob
Lee
Duke
Fred
Jeb
Dirk
Natch

TEAM WURTZEL:

I have the feeling that our team captains are chompin' at the bit to get to CV......
I can smell the Jägermeister already....
===============================================================
FYI- the Spring trip to AC ended in a tie with a Sunday rain out...
I have already put down our deposit for this Fall's Carroll Valley trip.
Golf dates are Friday, September 30th through Sunday, October 2nd.
This is the only set of dates that avoids religious holidays, anniversaries and reunions during the mid-September through October time frame.
Please send me a check for $100 to cover your deposit at your earliest convenience.
As always, the rooms will be assigned in the order that I receive the deposits from both room mates.
Right now I have four rooms reserved for Thursday night check-in, please advise if you wish to check-in on Thursday 9/29 so I can ensure there will be enough rooms on Thursday evening.
P.S. - I have one tee time at 7:00 AM Sunday to allow Stewie to get home to NY before sundown... the other Sunday times are at 9:00 AM.
Stew- Please forward to Jerry, I can't find his e-mail address
