Mulligan Fund

$73


FYI - With tax and tip, each pizza costs us about $25. If we play all weeks in the 2nd Half we should have enough money to cover 7 multi-topping pizzas on 9/1. Any rainouts, then we will be behind. If anyone wants to donate a few extra bucks to the fund, it will not be turned down. That also will give us some money for end of season prizes to go along with what the course usually gives us.

Weather

I appreciate everyone's understanding about playing last week. It was an interesting one given the oppressive heat. I totally understand those who felt it is in their best interest to not play. This is the Fun League and one's health comes first. As the League Manager, I need to balance everything in making a decision about playing - whether to keep it as a regular league week or if it will become a practice night, etc. In general, if three of the matches would be impacted by a forfeit situation we will likely cancel the week for that would impact the standings too much. It would be a practice week then. Hopefully, we don't run into this often, but wanted to let everyone know of my thinking process.

ScoreCards

If you are playing your round at a different time, please send your opponent (and me) a picture of your scorecard. Appreciate those that have done so already this season. I would not give it to anyone working in the pub for they have been misplaced in the past. There is a bulletin board as you enter the pub from the pro shop that has our Schedule & Standings sheet. Feel free to slip your scorecard into that holder. There used to be a folder to place cards into, but it seems that was removed after last season.

Do you get better if you play more golf?

Play More, Get Better (the math says so)


Here’s the headline across all three: volume wins.

  • Low index (0.0 to 9.9)

    • If they play 19 rounds or less, they are more likely to get worse than better. Push to 60+ rounds and 60% improve, with a median improvement of 1.34 strokes on their index. Single-digits golfers need reps to stay sharp.

  • Mid index (10–19.9)

    • For those that play 30 or more rounds, between 69% and 74% of those golfers improve, and the median improvement is about 2 strokes.

  • High index (20+)

    • For those that play 30 or more rounds, between 79% and 88% of those golfers improve, and the median improvement is about 4 strokes..

What This Means For You

  • Target 30+ rounds/year (9-hole loops count).

  • Single-digits: under 20 rounds is danger zone. You are more likely to get worse.

  • 20+ index: say “yes” to golf as much as you can. The more you play, the better you will get.
