So last night I played for the first time as part of Men's League. I've played in my "Work Golf League" which is much more so about Networking/Socializing/Drinking though there are a couple guys who can really play on the league. I've never had a real handicap and playing last night I learned more about this Men's League than they could've put in a book!
So this thread to me will be about how different everyone's leagues can be and my journey through mine. I hope you get something out of it!
March 31st:
Played from the Blue Tee's since I don't have a Handicap established yet. I played the same course and tee's Sunday and shot an 87. Last night I shot a 50 on 9. Thats with carding an Eagle on the 3rd hole par 5! So last night I found out the format is a 9 hole tourney every week and there is also a Skins game for Net and Gross scores. Each of them is $5 to enter each week or $15.
I can't believe the diversity of Handicaps in this league! I know my work league is completely different and the handicaps reflect that, but I figured this league would be more so about people wanting to have fun but are somewhat serious about improving their game too. I thought it was going to be extremely competitive, and my foursome was fun but not what I expected. Two of the guys shot 60+, the 3rd shot a 56 and I thought my 50 was one of the worst rounds I've played. I was embarrased to post it to this forum even though I know this forum is full of people working on their games too, I don't know... I just wasn't sure I'd post it. But alas thats part of this journey!
Well I didn't enter the skins games and with that eagle I would've won $80! I was the only one to eagle the hole all day so I would've won gross and net!
At the end of the night, I've already formed a nice friendship with the foursome and they actually all want to play the same time every week so thats great. Another reason I joined this Men's League.
So there you have it. I'd really like to hear how other leagues are run and your thoughts!
