I joined a club

A local paper did a piece on our chapter.

West Valley View: West 08 - 07 - 2019

 

Got the Douche Bag Invitational tomorrow. I really want this one.

 

Group 6 has sandbagger written all over it.

 

Good luck, Greg! What's the format?

 

Stroke play.

 

Two of those guys will be lucky to break 100. Steve and myself have won before and I'm feeling pretty confident.

 

Handicapped? Flighted?

 

The MGA does it a little different.

Penalty Strokes Explained

"If your handicap is below 18, it will be rounded to the closest whole number and then you will be penalized with strokes until it totals 18 (therby kinda turning you into an 18 handicapper and in line with what The MGA believes a mediocre golfer should be).

EXAMPLE 1: Jon is a 11.6 handicap. He thinks he's so ******* cool with his long drives and fancy putter. Well here in the MGA, we put him in his place. His 11.6 handicap is rounded up to 12, then we subtract that from 18 to see how many penalty strokes we'll add onto his score after the round. (The answer is 6 in this case, but you knew that right?)

EXAMPLE 2: Willie is a 20.4 handicap. He's just an honest, hard-working mediocre golfer, trying to reach that perfect 18 handicap mark. Since he's not there yet, he has no penalty strokes and at the end of the day, his score is what it is. No penalties, but no help either for being worse than 18. Gotta earn it Willie! Hit the range."
