UI Golf League 2011 Update

My play collapsed to such a bad state that I gave up on keeping everyone up to date. It became to frustrating to talk about and so I left it for a while.

Recently I have been playing a bit better and so I'm hopeful that soon I will turn things around in the League, but who really knows with golf. The best discovery I have made is that I can play the UI course early in the morning before anyone has even arrived and simply pay when I finish and so today I got in a quick 18 holes before going to work. Hard to beat that. This extra time on the course has helped me quite a bit, but I'm still struggling to hit the ball consistently.

That all being said back to the League. Apparently the League is split into halves. Here were the standings in our Division at the end of the first half of the season.

Team Ice 138.5
Safeway 131.0
SEL 120.5
Team Morgan 116.0
Gropp Electric 115.0
Vandals 111.0
GLOP 105.5
Farm Bureau Insurance II 105.5
Dave’s Golf Shop 98.0
Moscow Building Supply I 90.0

However, we started well and are off to the early lead in the second half of the season, this despite me getting spanked 7 1/2 to 2 1/2 in our 7th event.

GLOP 23.0
Team Ice 21.5
Safeway 20.0
SEL 18.5
Dave’s Golf Shop 18.5
Gropp Electric 17.0
Team Morgan 15.0
Moscow Building Supply I 15.0
Vandals 12.0
Farm Bureau Insurance II 11.0

We don't have the standings yet after our 8th event, but once I know where we stand I'll let you know if we held onto the lead. For the first time I managed to take my opponent winning the match 5 1/2 to 4 1/2.

  1. GO MATTHEW! GO GLOP!

    So each match is 10 holes long?

  2. It's one point per hole and then total score for ten points. They also use your handicap. So let's say you're a 10 and I'm a 15, you would have to give me five strokes over the 9 holes. That would be one stroke on each of the five toughest holes. At the end you subtract our handicaps from our total to see who gets the best overall score.
