FcF Presents: The Classic Club Challenge Part Deux (CCC2) June 1st at Diamond Springs

What: 28(ish) Blocked Tee times for the FCF in a non-elevated event
When: Saturday June 1st. 1st Tee time TBD
Where: Diamond Springs GC, just south of Grand Rapids MI
Who: YOU! Hosted by the @FreshCoastFlock , we welcome FCF, FCF adjacent, any other NLU Roost members who wants to have a good time, and possibly our rando friends we’re otherwise trying to convert into true sickos
Prizes: Points to qualify for FCF Roost qualifying spots and the friends you make along the way. Oh, and a trophy!
How much: $85 for 18 holes of Golf w/cart + Hangouts with the coolest cats you know.

Scoring: Playing the one-ups, an 80% HCP Quota game - but with a #Catch.

The #Catch: The older the clubs in your bag, the lower the quota you need to achieve!
3 categories: Modern (no bonus), Classic (1 shot bonus), and Historical (2 shot bonus)

  • Modern - what you can buy off the shelves today - GI irons, Modern mallet putters, Carbon Fiber Drivers (~0-7yr old)
  • Classic - Think early GI irons, Classic blades, a Ping Anser 2 , and some prime time big cat stuff (~7-40yr old clubs)
  • Historical - Goodwill Persimmons, Hickories, and unidentifiable stuff you dug outa some old dude’s barn at an estate sale and had to brush the dust off with a broom (40+yr old)

Equipment pictures need to be posted to this thread or sent via DM to me for verification and award of adjustment. No pictures, no adjustment!
You’ll receive a bonus from each club type category according to the age of the newest club in that category.
→ If you’re carrying both a hickory 5w and a Stealth 3w, you would get no bonus for the woods category.
You do not have to use a club during the round to get points for that category.

Discount Golf on woodward is going to be so confused when all of their classic clubs sell out.

So bummed I can’t go to this. All I’d need is an old ass putter to be full historical.

I’m a fan of this new club classification system and am going to spend a lot of time developing the optimal mix of categories.

82 adjusted feels like a great score

Considering my normal bag is an automatic 3 strokes and I haven’t played Diamond Springs yet this feels like a layup to sign up for.

Just need to see what June is looking like for us.

Can’t wait.

I think we should all post our setups in here with pics when we get them finalized so we can see all these glorious retro clubs.

I was planning to walk, too, and just noticed that cart is included in the $85 entry fee… can we option our cart cost into bevvies if we’re walking?

Hm. Good question - I’ll have to ask the course. I imagine they’d be willing to work a deal of some sort, they’re good people. Call it tbd for now

Yeah I’d love to walk that place too.
