NEED A PC
• Do you have a spare
PC (preferably a laptop) you would be willing to donate to JustGolf? It
doesn’t have to be fancy – it just has to work. With a PC I might be able to install
the TPP (Tournament Pairing Program). This program would enable me to download
handicaps and post scores with one click (instead of typing everything in
manually, one golfer at a time). It’s not that I have an old-fashioned
computer; it’s that the TPP is not compatible with Apple products.
2014 TOURNAMENT
SCHEDULE
• I hope to
publish next year’s schedule by the end of this month. Six courses are
confirmed, one is awaiting Board approval.
CHANGES FOR 2014
• The full
tournament fee will be collected in advance of each tournament. The purpose is
to have less hassle at the course for both players and staff. The refund policy
will remain the same [full refund until 10 days before the tournament (3 days
for medical emergencies); all but $20 refunded within 10 days of the
tournament].
• $2 will be added
to the cost of each tournament to cover tips. This will guarantee the bag boy
$1 per bag at the start and finish of each tournament. Any money not used for
tips will be added to the prizes.
• The modified
scramble handicap percentage will change from 35/15 to 40/25 (40% of the lower
handicap + 25% of the higher handicap). This should bring some new names into
the winners’ circles.
• Drop the
Shamble format and substitute a Better Ball.
• Tournaments
that are Net Only will add one gross prize equivalent to the last place net
money if the gross winner does not qualify for a net prize.
