2007 Forum Match Play Tourney: Brackets

[LBH]

Here you go... I will update this later with everybody's handicap factor (aka index)...

Also I've extended each round of the brackets to 3 weeks instead of 2 since there's only 32 of us not 64...

http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=225521

Please post your round 1 details (date/time, course, actual handicap factor that will be used) in this thread. When Round 1 is over, I'll start a new thread for round 2 and so on...

[LBH]

Colby please use those 4 groupings (1 to 8) for the pool

[LBH]

All handicap factors that I have received so far are now entered...

[Colby]

LBH, ignore my PM, I can grab the names from there

[habsfan]

so does it mean, i have to give my guy 13 stokes in a match play event, hows that work

[jeffc]

you go by the handicap for the course you are playing. since the number is your index, it could change slightly depending on the course.

[rezadue]

And maybe more habsfan!

[habsfan]

For some reason this link does not work? It works if I go there though ...

So if Wilster is 14.1, the calculator says he is 15 for EC from the whites, and for me 19.9 becomes 22, so I guess I get 1 stroke on each of the 7 toughest holes.

[Sakuraba]

What's the forum opinion on bribery? I just offered my opponent a break on the green fee to entice him into my trap, I mean my home course.

LOL

It is hard to pass up that kinda offer. As a public course player, when you get an invite to play better courses, you feel bad saying no so you dont give away that home course advantage.

I was about to do the same thing

That is correct.

[rezadue]

You want me to take no offence when you ask me to play from the ladies tees and you play from the mens!

Don't worry I can count, so I can keep the score and explain it to you. I am pretty good in math.

[Indio]

OK, I am toast.... where do you play out of JV? The past 2 years I am a once a month golfer so I will play anywhere, even your home course, put me out of my misery fast will ya so I can enjoy the final 8 holes

[habsfan]

is it gonna matter that my handicapp is based from playing the back tees at all my rounds, when he probably plays from the whites, hows all that gonna add up, it doesnt make sense to me i guess

[LBH]

Your course handicap depends on slope and current handicap factor. Each tee has a different slope.

[rezadue]

Does not matter one bit as handicap takes into account which tees you played from. Each tee has its own slope and rating.

I told you I would explain it to you.

[Maverick]

Remember, we are playing for fun.

[rezadue]

Habsfan

Here you go:

Course handicap= your handicap multiplied by the slope of the tee you are playing from, divided by 113.

Once we calculate both our course handicaps for the tees we will be playing from, you subtract those from each other to see how many strokes I get. Then you split that number into 2 and I get that many strokes on each of the front and back nine.
And I get the strokes on the most difficult holes on the course.

[Eldred]

I was about to do the same thing

PM you Nat... looking forward see what I can do to a #1 seed.
Hey, can I bring a checking line I mean couple of buddies to our game?

[LBH]

Does anybody have their match scheduled yet???

[jvincent]

OK, I am toast.... where do you play out of JV? The past 2 years I am a once a month golfer so I will play anywhere, even your home course, put me out of my misery fast will ya so I can enjoy the final 8 holes

If I have the same front nine as I had this morning you might be advancing.

[jvincent]

Contact made, just trying to figure out schedule.

[Kilroy]

Same here.

[mcgoo]

Same here

[jeffc]

ditto

[LBH]

Also, just to make sure everybody is on par with the "extra holes" rule in case a match ends up all square after 18 holes:

As per RCGA rules, Appendix I:

<<
Match Play
A match that ends all square should be played off hole by hole until one side wins a hole. The play-off should start on the hole where the match began. In a handicap match, handicap strokes should be allowed as in the prescribed round.
>>

[mcgoo]

I would enjoy playing my match with another match in a foursome. We could slow play and watch the other match at the same time.
