Desert Storm 2023 - Sep 7-9

hobbit · 2022-10-18T12:58:00+00:00

September 7-9, 2023 for fun in the Phoenix desert. Our good friend Tel (AKA @Limey ) has an irrevocable, iron-clad, no take-backsies, pass to attend in 2023...

There was a typo in the one above - and I was able to get another local to bring the number up to 23. He (Tony) will be the one left out of the competition given the odd number.

Moeman and I still playing in a blind partnership - but that just means we go for it all on every shot 😜

Handicaps can be adjusted if people want to play from other tees. I've defaulted to around 6000 yards in most cases.

Thursday - have an odd number so there will be a blind draw for someone.
Any volunteers out of the three that didn't grab a dance partner yet?

hobbit you can put me with whoever for that rick. I'm just there to try and play some golf and see everyone. If I'm the odd one out that's fine . Looking forward to see everyone again next week

I put all of the pairings in the original post. The pairings are the pairings, but I can always adjust groups if people are paired up with the same people too often.

Limey

hobbit nice work Rick. Really grateful for all the hard work you put in to make this happen.

Unless Mark H has committed to play righty, I believe his strokes in the money round and championship are reflected incorrectly.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Countdown officially on now.

He's listed as a 10.2 handicap above 😳

Has he been playing righty all season ?

hobbit

I swear when I looked at GHIN it was a 10.2 - but when I went to look again now he wasn't in my list. Added him again and its a 4.2.

I cannot understand what I thought I saw a week ago. I wasn't even drinking that night! 🤣

hobbit can I get a handicap for you please?

I haven't carried an official handicap for years, in fact in the past year I've only played 3 solo (non-scramble) rounds and shot 85, 89, and 94. You've always put me down as a 12 and I've never complained, but the truth is I haven't been a 12 in probably a decade. I'm probably closer to a 16-18 right now.

Ok, we'll go with 16.

Safe travels all and looking forward to seeing everyone, for a few that haven't made it to DS in a couple years it's been a while and Greg, it's been 15+ years.....gonna be a blast

Ok, updated the rounds with the new handicap info in the original post.
It required a slight re-shuffle on the Cup Competition pairings as well.

I plan to have sheets with the default info available whenever I see you all. As always, I have a spreadsheet and can easily adjust if someone wants to play a tee other than the default (which is also listed in the images in the first post).

Weirfan

No more rounds before the trip,
Final handicap for the festivities is :

We had quite the monsoon storm here last night! 70mph winds, trees down everywhere, power out for 30,000 people, golf courses are a mess, flooded and covered in debris. Glad we got that out of the way, looks like next week is all clear with no rain in sight!

FauxAmish

Any word on damage in the Sedona area.

Looking dicey for tomorrow

Weirfan Things might be a bit wet for our round tomorrow afternoon, especially since it just started raining again. 😬
