We have a team outing at work tomorrow that I've been preparing for, which is how I initially I found THP. Initially, I was looking for advice as there's a bet on the line, and I want to win. Here's the situation. There are five people on my team:
The bet puts Tim and Dan on one team, and Sherri, Dave and I on the other. Both teams are playing best ball. Sherri will also ride 9 with me, and 9 with Dave, and she will scramble with whoever she is riding with at the time. Tim and Dan are also giving us 30 strokes. Loser buys lunch for the team.
So really, in the end, it's me against Tim and Dan with 30 strokes. I figure if I break 100, which I am very capable of doing, we win. MAYBE I get help from Dave on a par 3 where I go off the rails, but I'm not counting on it. Sherri could also help with a putt here or there.
So tomorrow is the day, and I'll see if I can update as we go along, or at the very least give a wrap-up post tomorrow night.
Wish me luck!
- Manager Dave - played once or twice, maybe. Recently made a claim to us that he'd been hitting his drives "150 yards." Has me worried he's barely ever played.
- Sherri - Never picked up a club in her life. Has gone to the driving range once to prepare.
- Ryan (Me) - Averaged low 100s 10 years ago, just back to the game this year. Mid 90s for my best games.
- Tim - Shoots mid to high 80s, low 80s on his best day. I'm unsure if he's ever broken 80, but played on his HS golf team.
- Dan - Very similar to Tim, apparently Tim is slightly better, but it's close.
