Sunny Day + Friday + Summer = Golf

So last week I had Lunch with 2.0 and brough up yet another probable "Failure" of an Idea. But because I am glutton for a punishment I though I would share it, get everyones hopes up, then watch the idea die a horrible death.

The 1st annual Black Lodge Golf Tournament


So here is where the idea starts:

8 Lodge Memebers 2 foursomes. Since there are varying skills (Or none at all but thats ok) we divide up the teams based upon skill level. Seatown is obviously the ringer of the group.

We make it a Best ball Tournament. Rules are as Follows:

All Golf Equipment can/will be shared so that no one has to rent/buy clubs

18 holes

• Each member of the team will tee off, and the best shot of four will be used
• The other members of the team will then pick their ball up and play from the spot of the best shot by their partner. This will continue until the ball is holed.

Since some Golfers are better than others we will incorporate the following rules

18 holes in the Foursome:

• Every Foursome must use a minimum of 3 and a Maximum of 5 drives per player.


• Every player must have at least one contributing shot every 3 holes. (Marked on scorecard)

I'm thinking of getting this set up for a friday or saturday towards the end of may (Fridays would be a little cheaper if we could take a day off). giving everyone some time to warm up. We would need all 8 members to make this an official tournament.

Everyone can contribute, regardless of skill level. I would like everyone to rank their skill level from 1-10. One having never picked up a club, or 10, play regularly enough to know your handicap and skill. I rank myself about a 4.5. Very inconsistant but can occasionally can come up with a shot that looks like I know what I am doing.

Thoughts? Feedback? Ideas?
