Week 9: Format, Pairings and Tee Times

Welcome to Week 9 of the XGA, which is the first week of the second session. First, some news about extending the season. We will be moving to Tuesday evenings beginning next week (August 4th) with our first tee time at 5:30PM. This gives us 20 more minutes of daylight to play with. This should allow us to extend the season another 4-5 weeks. There will be a further announcement before next week regarding how many weeks, prepay instructions, etc.

We have a lot of people on vacation this week so we will have only 12 players. We'll go with a 2-man scramble this week to make sure we get all nine holes in. I was thinking about doing a quota scramble but couldn't find anything on how to handicap such a thing. We'll stick with the standard format and use handicaps. The players were divided into A and B flights. The formula for team handicaps is a total of 35% of the A player's cap and 15% of the B player's cap. Team Caps are in parentheses.

5:50PM - Stein/Lee (3) and DiFrangia/ Palleschi (4)

6:00PM - Lorms/R.Gillie (3) and Spencer/Barrett (3)

6:10PM - Osborn/Benack (3) and G. May/Carter (4)
