2016 Action
A New Year
Welcome to the 2016
Weeklies. Brian Gramolini is back at it, and many of
your favorite games have returned.
As below - Play The Course. As before - write with comments,
criticisms
or suggestions. And as always - Have Fun. That's really the name of the
game
Play ANY Tees
Movin' On Up
In continuing with the “big shift”
made 2 years ago: Play The Course. Anyone may enter a Weekly
from any
tees. Tournaments and other events are a different matter and
will be set individually by the Tournament Committee. But for
the Weeklies tee it up from where you like. Just be sure your
card highlights the tees you played from and that you get your handicap
right.
If you do plan to play from the Whites or Greens/Reds you should be aware of how to calculate and adjust your handicap for competition. Details are on the handicap page here or at the USGA.
I hope this helps us get around a little faster and a little happier.

The Weekly Theory
Let's Have Fun
The rationale
behind the Weeklies and the games we play can be found: A
Weeklies Manifesto.
But if you're the Executive Summary type - this is it in a
nutshell:
To those ends here are a couple refreshers on how things work:
Enjoy.
The
Weeklies are meant to add to the fun of this great game. They
are
not always a test of skill, but should reward good golf; from
individual shots to complete rounds – including flukes, lucky breaks
and putts over 6 feet (which I consider pure luck if they go in).
They should not get in the way of playing a postable round of
golf nor require an MBA to compute. Nor should victory be a
total
surprise to the winner.
It’s best if they help you see the game in a slightly different way
- play just a little bit better
- laugh just a little bit harder.
To those ends here are a couple refreshers on how things work:
- Weeklies will end on Saturday when the last Saxony golfer comes in.
- Rounds played Sundays and during the week count in the following Saturday's game.
- If you tee it up on Saturday - that's your round for the Weekly.
- If we don't get 20 scores, because of weather or sleepiness - no Weekly.
- Any of us can play from the any tees -
if we
want - handicaps will be adjusted, of course.
Enjoy.
