I've added one more event for the weekend of the 18th-20th. It's a member-guest tournament at Magnolia National.
Full disclosure, I don't actually know what a member-guest tournament entails, but I guess it would go something like this: - 2 rounds at Magnolia National from the Member tees, which are only 6300 yards -3 days to play - Rounds are handicapped
I don't know how this will go, but I figured it would be a different experience, and some new people might have a chance at winning.

Nice round at St. Andrews KenTremendous. It appears we are far enough into the game cycle that home course advantage is not going to work for me anywhere. The best I could muster is -9, which is a pretty good round for me there. I snuck in the par 3 round yesterday morning, so haven't been able to check the leaderboard. I enjoyed it as a quick hitter, though.

Had a slot open so figured I'd join. Proceeded to shoot a 67 despite 1.72 putts per hole (ugh).

Another nice round and win for Ken, although narrow this time with just a one stroke victory. Ken moves into 1st place in points, and I've managed to scratch out a 2nd place standing so far.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this handicap tournament at Magnolia turns out. If it shakes the leaderboard up a bit, I'll probably at two more single rounders for midweek next week, and then another handicap match to follow. Maybe stableford this time?

Tricky little track that Taby turned out to be. Winds didn't help but my approach shots should have been better. A little course management helped me get back into it, but I fell too far back trying to be a hero early on.

I loved the course, though, except for the 18th green. 4-putted my way out of a tie for the lead.

I aced the first par 3 (3rd or 4th hole I think) but also had two or three 4-putts which killed my score

Alright, I think I am settling in to a regular schedule for the society. It would go something like this:
Mon-Tue: 1-round event showcasing a course from a new, upcoming, or an off the radar designer Wed-Thurs: 1-round event at a course getting high ratings, by a well regarded designer, or at a high profile RCR Fri-Sun: A 2-round event where I play with the format. This could be like the Magnolia member guest at one of my RCR's, it could be handicapped, not handicapped, stableford, different tees, etc. I don't know exactly what this will look like, so I will just try to come up with something fun each week. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Magnolia event goes to use as a barometer going forward.
I'll take a look at my list this afternoon and set up the next two events for next week, and I'll wait until after this weekend to decide on next weekend's event.

A couple of quick updates: - Well played to B.Smooth13 with the win and very impressive low score in difficult conditions at Taby. - Next week's events have been posted, Mon-tue at the Davies Course at Troon West, and Wed-thurs at Kiawah Keys. - I just finished my way around Silent Ivy Hotel, another tough track. But for the first time I am in the lead so far. Just to give everyone a sneak peek at the review for the course, it's complete garbage. Don't waste your time playing it. See you at Magnolia!
