Suggested Handicaps

Since everyone is going to bitch about their handicaps, I thought one fair way to calculate them is based on performance in past Fire Ant Cups. Here's the data:

Year	Course	Andy	Sean	Deke	Cliff	Brian G	Brian D	Jared
2004	King's North	77	77	81	94	92	85	80
2004	Long Bay	82		81		93	86
2004	River Club	79	88	81	90	91	84	88
2005	Aberdeen	79	90	88	94	97	93	96
2005	King's North	76	87	83	89	95	96	80
2005	Thistle	76	85	81	91	102	94	86
2005	Tiger's Eye	74	86	90	85	91	87	83
	Average	77.6	85.5	83.6	90.5	94.4	89.3	85.5
	From Low	0.0	7.9	6.0	12.9	16.9	11.7	7.9

2005 Fire Ant Cuppers

Clifford, The Big Fat Dumper, wanted me to post this picture from last year's Fire Ant Cup. Fortunately we don't have a picture from 2004 because it would show our trend of increasing our waste sizes yearly.

Where is all of the trash talking? I'm very disappointed.

We have an 8th

Deke came through and found an 8th for the trip since Rappis had to punk out. We're good to go now.

Glen's email address is gwheelock1@cfl.rr.com.

Tee Times Updated

I received an email with the confirmed tee times. I have updated them in the post below. We are playing as early as we can on Sunday. Is the tee time on Thursday too early? Should I push it closer to 3 PM or later? I think it's ok.

Email me or post a comment if you need anything.
