I requested to join the society. I understand if I've missed the start of this season and have no problem with just playing alongside everyone. You joined the Pro Clubs version of Band of Brothers...which is fine. It's accepted. There are only a handful of people playing this. If you wanted to play the Masters version with the rest of us, you will need to join the regular Band of Brothers. Sorry for the delayed response, I work 12 hr nights and just checked the site/forum. I don't mind playing both societies, if allowed, but definitely meant to request joining the masters difficulty society, I'll try to log in and send a request for the masters society before my dr appt this morning. If approved, I'll play any current event(s) as soon as I get home from my appt. Thanks! Shawn

I am on fire lately. Last week my hdcp was +17. After shooting a -1 and -3 on Northern Echo recently it has shot up to +86. It doesn't seem like the hardest course but the hdcp rating on it says it's extremely difficult. Looks like all the hard work I've put into game by barely playing is paying off big time. I want to thank HB for putting out a truly flawless game. 🥴

It's never worked on any HB game, and to be honest I'm not sure there's ever been a good handicap in any golf game full stop. I never even look at it!

I accepted you into the Masters version this morning.

There is no area of this game safe from his wrath.

But the hdcp is an indicator of how well you been playing lately. Obviously i am not a +86 hdcp.

I’m not an advocate of the handicap system and I know it’s flaws but I’m up to +51 again. The last time I was at that level was in my halcyon days when I was a dirty dirty red faster, you know the good ol’days.

You shot over par and still you dominated the course and raised your handicap to the ionosphere.

The Handicap system is broken. The game calculates it properly, but the creation of courses and then people playing them on beginner from the red tees and shooting -26 ends up giving the course a slope of 15 or something like that is the problem. There should not be a set of pins in this game with a slope below like 120. I saw one course with a slope of -1. I’ve seen a persons with a hdcp of 131. That’s not even possible.

I can honestly say I’m starting to put this game together. At least for me I see improvement. I probably had my best week in this league. I’m not ready to challenge the Alan’s, Dan’s and Craig’s of the world but I’m getting there. Had my best round in TGC yesterday - shot a first rd 66! Definitely having fun.

Week Two Results are in.... Congrats to this weeks winners: Alpha - dansamp -26 Bravo - ShivasIrons - 19 Whiskey - horusphoenix -15 Pro - Nicholas254 - 16 BAND OF BROTHERS
I was surprised and also happy to see the amount of under par scores this week. I think it was 30 of 39 players achieved this. In weeks past it would take 3 weeks to get that many under par so either these setups are too easy or people are getting a little better each week. Likely a mix of both. Anyways, good turnout as we head into this season's first major at Oldrenn Sound by mattf27 . Solid course with abundant of scoring opportunities with receptive greens for good approach shots. Conditions get mixed around a bit this week so take them birdies when available. Good luck this week lads. Shawn - your scoring this past week will show up once Paul adds you to the spreadsheet and re-runs the macro.

Week 3; Rd1
I will take this round of golf any day of the week but it was not the total arsenal. GIR and FIR were outstanding for me anyway with 92% FW and 78% greens. Very few errant reds this round which was a first. Finished even on the front 9 with and eagle and birdie that were erased by three putting. Not one, not two, but three of these bad boys. Had three solid chips that only resulted in one going in. Back 9 I knocked the stuffin off the McMuffin for a bit with five consecutive birdies. One of these was a 48ft putt that barely tapped the flag stick but did not go in. I stil do not understand why the flag was in to begin with. Clean card and better putting on the back 9 got me to finish -6. Solid start to which I hope will continue into the following days.
