Really interesting. In the iron fitting - no surprise. PX 6.5. Woods - out of left field. Grafalloy Bimatrx x flex. I might have to get my hands on one of these to check it out. I never would have thought about that one.

What is your current handicap or your average score? at the moment 7.9. It is consistently between a 5.5 and an 8.
What is your target for event time? How do you plan on getting there? back to a 6 or better.
What are your strengths on the course? I think I am fun to play with. Im eternally optimistic. I have ice water in my veins haha
What are your weaknesses? How do you work around them? Short game, but its serviceable
Describe the courses you play most often. Tight and elevated. But fair.
Do you tend to be a conservative or aggressive player? I play to the course but tend to be more aggressive.
What is your favorite team format? Why? Stroke or match, but ill play anything. No reason for either.
What type of golfer do you think you'd best be paired up with? someone who is somewhat less aggressive but knows when to take chances. has fun all the time.
In a competitive match, are you "all business", one to kid around and socialize, or somewhere in between? Both. I like to win but I socialize the entire time. I love good golf shots regardless of who hits them- me, my teammate or my opponent.
Why should I pick you? I'm a gamer. When the lights are the brightest, I play my best. See the Morgan Cup history for record

Good thing you won't have to play myself and Trouter in this one then!
sorry buddy I had to! You know I love ya! lol!!
New England: As promised, here are some questions that (I hope) will help me get a better feel for the folks I haven't had a chance to meet in person. If you're interested in playing, please PM me your answers (even if I know you). Feel free to post them in the thread, but I'd just like a PM so I can track these down easier and I don't miss anyone.
New York/New Jersey, feel free to answer as well, I'm just going to assume everything's part of a disinformation campaign
Thanks!

What is your current handicap or your average score?
8hcp average score about 77-78
What is your target for event time? How do you plan on getting there?
my goal is a 6 just have to work on lag putts
What are your strengths on the course?
Wedges chipping
What are your weaknesses? How do you work around them?
Sometimes can be wild off the tee but am working on a choke down stinger
Describe the courses you play most often. About 6500 yards with 4 long par 3s between 180-220. Fast greens average difficulty. Would have to look up the course rating.
Do you tend to be a conservative or aggressive player? I'm mainly conservative but if I'm playing well I can become a little more aggressive. I've learned to take my medicine when I need to.
What is your favorite team format? Why? I like alternate shot because it's the most difficult team event and I love the challenge.
What type of golfer do you think you'd best be paired up with? I think I'd be best paired up with an aggressive golfer one who makes a fair share of birdies but with his aggressive argyle makes a few bogeys along the way too because I make more pars then anything.
In a competitive match, are you "all business", one to kid around and socialize, or somewhere in between?
i would say I'm somewhere in between. I'm all business when trying to grind out a par that matters but can let loose also.
Finally, stealing this from 441 since I love how blunt it is
Why should I pick you?
ive never played in a tho event and I just joined. I remember you saying you got picked early on when you first became a member and it really helped you in the community. I'm looking for that same chance and I'm one hell of a competitor. I love to have the pressure on me especially if something is on the line.
here ya go cap hopefully we get a chance to tee it up!
What is your current handicap or your average score? I usually shoot in the 87-90 range
What is your target for event time? How do you plan on getting there? By June I'm hoping to be a consistent 85, I don't get too much practice time during mid January to early May because of the school semester, so a big change would be unrealistic.
What are your strengths on the course? Some strengths are imagination to help with shots if stuck in an odd spot, and my wedge game
What are your weaknesses? How do you work around them? definitely my bunker game, and because there is always room for improvement in chipping I will list it as a weakness too
Describe the courses you play most often. Layout/yardage/difficulty: I usually play on a course that is 6100 yards, Par 70. difficulty changes with time of year but it is never over the top difficult.
Do you tend to be a conservative or aggressive player? If different across aspects of the game, feel free to split this up. I can be both depending who I'm playing with and how they are most comfortable playing, but if playing by myself I like to get myself to certain distances off the tee, if this is a conservative layup or an aggressive attack I will try to get myself to the exact distance I want.
What is your favorite team format? Why? Greensomes, allows each person to tee it up and then a team decision on how to attack the rest of the hole
What type of golfer do you think you'd best be paired up with? This can include skills, personality - anything goes. Really any golfer, I am easy to get along with and enjoy meeting new people through the game of golf
In a competitive match, are you "all business", one to kid around and socialize, or somewhere in between? Definitely an in between, I can put my head down and chug along the round and be joking and socialize in the same round.

Why should I pick you? I'm looking for some fun golf with a good group of people that would help build connections that will go beyond this one day of golf, and I would love to be in a match that has some bragging rights on the line

Didn't have a chance to get out this past weekend, but was able to do some putting and chipping work in my basement.

Only a few more weeks until the selections are made, can't wait for that.
Spent some time at the range today before the sideways snow started coming.
The good news (for team New England): I think I finally figured out what I was doing at the end of the season. The bad news: my "divot swing" doesn't play well with mats.

Ross simulators are the great equalizer. Who knows what can happen.
Russtopher and I will be hitting the Simulator on Sunday for our #THPCallout which will be great practice and a heck of a good time!
You've got that right buddy! I know you were working hard on your game when we last played together, I'm excited to see how much all those range sessions have paid off for you.
I'll bring the SwingByte along as well.
