NEFA DISCussion

I don't read the NEFA board anymore, unless the thread is about Arty.
Hope to catch up sometime soon.

a very interesting (non-New England like) course

what did you think of it?

The manicured fairways were pretty neat -- looked like a ton of upkeep.

I could tell that Houck designed it. I thought I was back in Texas
at the Circle R ranch.

We have high,low and like 20 game points. What they don't know is we also have the JACK.

Daniels?

Hi Steve,

What happened at the Player's Cup? I tried to follow online but it was
nearly impossible.

I imagine it was a whole bunch of technical issues, and I don't want to make
you rehash it, but some of your supporters out here are still hanging.

It pains me to say this but I hope Feldburg wins. It would be an amazing accomplishment. I heard the rounds are taking 6+hours. Is this true?

i found myself rooting for feldberg too, but then i thought about it a little more.

i think its a 90% handicap system so the top players have an advantage ...

Greg Aucoin says screw pitching the tee shot on 17 -- he'll take the eagle, thanks very much. Plus two
albatrosses on the day. I can see him now -- oh yeah baby! while he rips some guys arm off giving a high 5.

handicaps updated and tweaked for everyone's enjoyment

tweak #1 works the same for all handicappers. I am dropping everyone's worst score
from the handicap calculation. A bomb won't help any more -- situation defused.

tweak #2: The 80% to 90% sliding scale isn't so steep anymore. This takes away 2 ...

the sliding scale is called "multfactor" on the spreadsheet. Multiply by 100
to get the percentage of the full handicap.

Hi guys -- I haven't been able to make it to league, and it doesn't look good for the near future,
but I am here to update the handicaps. Also, I'm here to make any changes or tweaks to the system
that you want.

Here's part of the story to discuss.

We've been working on a 80% handicap system. If ...

this is a simplified handicap sheet. Let me know if you see problems or want something re-designed.

Here is the WT spreadsheet from last year. Click on the tabs for the Points Leaders, Cash Leaders, etc.

50% of the work has been done to get the formulas to work properly. The other 50% is inputting the results
in a timely manner every week. I can share this in the form of an Excel spreadsheet ...

this is an easy one. Go to La Mirada. No contest with ElDo, Polliwog, Huntington.
More than an hour closer than Morley. Watch out for picnickers on weekends.

hey Ray, what is the mini 9? We could do 1-8, 14-18 twice. 26 holes.

i'll bring beer and a propane tank. do we still need propane?

With Team Challenge season going on, I wanted to bring something up that I saw
during the Player's Cup. I forgot most of the names, but here's what happened:

Match play in effect

player 1: lays up 2nd shot to 20 feet from the basket.
player 2: lays up 2nd shot right under the basket.
player 1 ...

Nice job, Matt. You edged me by 1000 places.

Sorry to say that Billy was driving me crazy with
his match play commentary. It didn't seem like anybody
understood how match play is supposed to be scored.
I don't know why everyone kept referring to points or
strokes when its just holes. Don't ask me ...

i have two tags to sell, as well. i believe $25 is what we've been charging.

Glad to see that somebody reads this stuff!

The 2009 hot round was 45 by Tim Walsh.

At the beginning of the year, I set it up so that a 50 would be a 1000-rated round, based loosely on
ratings during past PDGA tournaments. Then, everyone who plays league
established their own Local Player Rating (or equivalently, a handicap). Now, each league round is rated according to who showed ...

29 weeks of disc golf action came down to one shot in the last league.
Trailing Jeff Chauvin by 29 points, I saved my best round for last, a 48 that was
worth 30 points with the hot round bonus. But on hole 4, Jeff beat Pat Hetu's
CTP mark by 2 disc lengths to take home 10 points and the WT Points ...

Last chance to get points this year! By popular demand, we'll have
the same points scoring system as last week, but aces will have doubled
point values too. 40 points for an ace. Its not too late to make a run.

ace pot #1 = $150
ace pot #2 = $86

In case of 2 or more aces, we split the $236 ...

that's right. Cory Mort: 57 -11 = 46. $23 dollars for 1st place.

His handicap has gone from 14 to 9 in 2 weeks. Nice job.

Rob won a CTP on hole 13. I won 2 CTP's, holes 4 and 14.

Next to last league tonight. Come on down. I'll do the points the same way as last week. $150 in the ace pot.

I'll be doing the groups by position in the year-long points standings. Here's the current standings:

1 Jeff Chauvin 159
2 Jack Gabby 130

It must be getting late in the year because it took me a while to get these up. How about Cory Mort?! A
46 after handicap (60-14). That will get it done.

KAZ got the CTP and hot round with a 53. There was a lot of wind, ok?
