05/08 - Putters Only!

With the possibility of rain again this Monday, I am going to delay the Alternate Tee round again and go with Putters Only. We will aim for next week and hope for better weather.

Stableford

Just a note about scores from Stableford

I have adjusted the points and payouts to reflect the scoring system (despite not being able to show your accumulated points anywhere)
Ace = 9
Birdie = 5
Par = 2
Bogey = 0
Double Bogey or worse = -1

My old system didn't consider the differences between a Bogey and a Double Bogey or worse. This system is more fair and rewards the aggresiveness no matter what skill level you are at.

Just wanted you to understand why someone with a lower score may have more points this week because their point total from above is higher.

Format Explanations
Divisional Singles Week - Cards will be Pick Your Own Group. Regular league format.
1 Disc Week - Cards will be randomly decided to encourage mixing of divisions and to help people learn from the discs others select and why. You can only throw one disc with you on this night. If you lose it, you will given last place for the night.
Stableford - Cards will be by Pick Your Own Group. This format rewards aggressiveness. Aces = 9 points, Birdies = 5 points, Pars = 2 points, Bogeys = 0 point, and Double Bogeys or worse = -1. All Aces split the INDIVIDUAL Ace Pool from this week, but if there are no aces the ace pool will carry over to the next week. Points and payout will be determined by the points you earn.
CTP Week - Cards are sent out by divisional ranking. Points are based on your score but payout is based completely around who was the closest to the pin on each hole.
OB Night – On or over pavement (left side and right side) on Hole #2, On or over pavement (right side) on Hole #3, The creek running from 4 all the way to 6, Tall grass to the left on hole #11,12, 13, and 14, on or over pavement (left side) on #16, 17, and 18 is all OB. Add 1 throw penalty and throw from where you were last in bounds.
Alternate Tees Week - Cards will be randomly decided to encourage mixing of divisions and to help people learn from how others attack new shots. This week is scheduled because I need to setup the alternate tees before league. I will mark the tees sometime the week before to give people a chance to scout the new lines to be played.
Putters Only Week - Cards will be by randomly decided. You can carry as many putters as you want as long as they fall on the approved putters list.
Mandatory Night – Every hole will have some unique rule. You may have to throw forehand, backhand, opposite handed, with a mid-range, with a 10 speed or higher, or the ever popular “eyes closed” drive. This format will challenge you to learn new throws, trust your muscle memory, and may be a touch frustrating so you have to test your mental stamina.
Skins Game Week - Cards are sent out by divisional ranking. Points are based on your overall score but payout is based completely on your score compared to your card-mates. If you have the single lowest score on any hole you win a skin and a portion of the funds. Holes that have no individual low score carryover to the next hole (AKA 2 tie all tie). If after 18 holes there are still skins available the group must continue to play until the skin(s) have been decided. On any playoff holes only those who end up with the lowest score on each hole proceed to the next hole. So If 4 people go to Hole #19 because of a tie on #18 and two people get 2's while 2 people get 3's . . . only those who got the 2's proceed to Hole #20 until the skin is settled.
Double Points Singles - Cards will go out by divisional ranking. Same as week one but points are doubled to see who can rise to the occasion at the end of the season when the pressure is on.
