Lake County Ladies League

[tree]

Jill and I were the only players this week at league. We miss playing doubles with other people! We were wondering about developing a handicap system. I won by more than a stroke a hole, just because I've got more experience and practice time in. It's not fair for me to take Jill's money every week but we need to play for something with a scoring system that's fair to each players level of play. Any thoughts, guys?

Oh, yeah-the $2 ace pool rolled over until next week.

If she's a rated player you could round your ratings to the nearest divisible by 10 number and give her the difference between her rounded rating and your rounded rating.... That's probably the closest you'd get to a true handicap

[airspuds]

just give her a stroke a hole to start

then adjust  

[Bruce Brakel]

Try giving her the number of strokes you won by last time, less one.  This way if she improves by a stroke relative to you, you tie, and if she improves by two strokes, she wins.  If you both shoot the same as last time relative to each other, you win.  This rewards Jill for improving and you for improving too.  Each week reset the handicap to last week's difference, less one.

Also, spend some time playing putter catch at medium distances.  Learning how to throw is more important  than merely playing rounds.  If either of you has a Skillshot you canalso putt back and forth between basket 18 and a Skillshot to practice putting.  That is nice because from 20-25 feet apart you can also have a conversation.

Thanks, Bruce.

Jill-What do you think?

No. I played by myself.   Jill had to take care of a sick youngster. I shot a 78. Hopefully I'm saving the 68 rounds for Peoria! It would disappoint me greatly to know I only had 1 68 in me this season. The ace pool stands at $2 for the weekend after Women's Nationals? Or are we picking a different day, Jill?

If she works close enough to swing by after work, we'll be there until almost dark, I think. We're going to work on putting and driving, not playing the whole park for now.

Jill and I were the only players at Ladies League. I set up our skill shot between the parking lot and #18 basket. I got their early and threw a few drives on #1 and then got out the skillshot and putters. When Jill arrived, we played a putting game-3 putters a piece, we randomly threw a mini to determine the putting distance. We each took 3 tries at each location. After 6 locations, Jill was antsy to play so with the score Jill 10, Tree 12, we set out to play holes 1-9 with a handicap of 10 for Jill. This handicapping system worked well.... There was a 2 point difference (Tree in the lead) after 9 holes. We then finished our putting contest, Tree 15, Jill 12.

The ace pool rolled over: $4 in for the first ace

Next week Jill will be at the Homie tourney. Stay tuned for details of our next meeting!
