I was speaking with the "Walt" today (shout out to him for finding my road runner in a tree), and we were talking about a bag tag challenge or weekend doubles. Unfortunately my schedule being what it is, I am unable to make most of the SAFE-D meetings. I do have weekend time available, and I would be willing to volunteer some time to organizing the weekend challenge. SABAGTAGTOUR (St. Augustine bag tag Tournament). Anyway we could set it up with a couple bucks donation per player. Payout would be 50% to low handicap score. Yes a bag tag handicap!! The other 50 % would go to an ace fund and carry over if no aces hit. Handicaps would have to be established with two rounds. We could all chip in for our first two rounds with no payout, just low gross score taking the lower number bag tag, and so on to high score taking the highest tag number. This would build the pot. Those without handicaps would be donating til they established. If not established you are eligible for the ace fund. Oh and you need to join Strong Arm to get a bag tag. Thoughts? Phil Rowe
I'm glad Phil is offering to run such an event. I think it will go over well with many of our 40 members, but I don't have time on the weekends to do it. Phil, did you mean to write "If not established you are NOT eligible for the ace fund" ?
Yes, Phil! Random doubles is not an appealing format for me. I feel too much pressure to not let my partner down.Either handicap or bag tag, not both. Seems unfair to decide bag tags based on handicap play.
Saturday morning is weekly doubles at RVZ, is that close enough to conflict with an MC event? Noon or 1:00 on Sunday would work for me.
Correction Glen- As of yesterday, we have 41 members! Welcome to Frank B, StrongArm League member #41. I could probably make it to some of those Sunday afternoon rounds, and would also prefer bag tag or handicap, not both (not to suggest that there are any baggers around here, but bag tag matches have customarily been head to head rounds).
