mreaves Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 1 hour ago, RUNNAWAYICEBERG said: My app has my avg score at 85 but that’s generous imo from a good amount of rounds at an easy course. I’m a bogey golfer by avg score (removing the easy course scores) but a scratch golfer in my mind and at the range. I was down to a 13 handicap at one point but it was built on a lot of 9 hole rounds of 40-42 at my home course. Those combine for low 80’s and look better than they are. Even though my course has a decent slope & rating, my handicap doesn’t travel that well. There are real benefits to know where you can miss and how the greens roll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 OK so let’s find a saturday later this month to do this gtg. I think The Ranch is the best spot but a course in NECT may get our SEMA peeps involved so I’m open to whatever. Getting two foursomes would be decent. Suggestions?

I'll go to the Ranch but if you want a suggestion for NE guys, Thompson Raceway, I think someone already mentioned the course earlier, nice 18 hole course with good burgers. I'm in anyplace you guys decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more about us getting together, the hacks are a given. I’m know to string together 3-4 holes of great ball striking, my playing partners hyping me up for a sub 80 round.. only for me to melt on consecutive holes where I duck a few tee shots. Whatever, it’s all in good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a couple of our year end tournaments there and it's a great course. I'm down for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be better teeing off at 2pm, it's usually thinned out by then unless there's a big league that night at the Raceway, I can call and ask and report back.
