This is not encouraging.

It’ll be net.

85% of each player’s handicap for Best Ball (USGA recommendation).

40% of the team total handicap for Modified Alt. Shot (USGA recommendation)

100% of each player’s handicap for Aggregate Score (because everyone will need as much help as they can get, aggregate score format is the easiest way to make a grown man cry on a golf course)

Dumb question: why is Agg score format so difficult?

Happy to be here and looking forward to the weekend! Spent most of the day getting ready for the tournament, we’ll have some great stuff in store for everyone.

Our superintendent Jake is the real mastermind, he’s going to have NCC absolutely dialed for you guys. Can’t wait to see which one of you putts it off #10 green first (it happened to at least 5 people this past weekend during the Spooner, and we’re talking about a field filled with plenty of plus handicap and scratch players)

If you make a 15, you write down a 15, so after that first tee ball sails OB and you reload the second one, well, it’s a true test of fortitude. When your partner is hitting 5 off the tee on Saturday, you’ll understand.

You are low cap so you’ll be fine, but for us folk that can make big numbers, it’s uncomfortable.

No stranger to big digits over here - was just wondering if there was more to it.

Broke my driver a few weeks ago. Ordered a new one. Supposed to arrive on Thursday. Now delayed until Friday. FML.

No problem, we can see you up with a driver

I’m 12 strokes off my partners handicap.

I will bring an assortment of painkillers to help your back pain after you carry me around all weekend.

Trying not to doxx my partner, and I’m not even sure if he’s active on here, but if you’re reading this and you’re A. on staff at NCC, and B. you share a first name with the Steelers’ duel-treat QB from the 90s, your next chiropractor sesh is on me. I’m looking forward to grinding with you, brother.

This does not make me feel any better. LOL

Not the best but the sauna is very very hot

It was easy to putt off 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, and 18 at times

More prep
