Just a thought.....we have 3 formats for pairs alt,greens and scramble.....when setting these up can we have easier settings for alt, medium for greens and harder for scramble please

for me this weeks setup is too easy for scramble..imho...but would be great for alt....ty

Looks like this weeks Pair 9 is a race to see who can shoot 4 rounds of perfect scores (all eagles and birds).

thats kinda my point, alot of players hitting very simular shots make it little boring for me personally.....

im not having at go at the setters as they do a great job and i appreciate they efforts...thx

I have discussed this weeks pair conditions with Mark and Paul. I think the conditions are far too easy for scramble. I did ask we not use scramble anymore since we have a great group of excellent players but that idea was shot down. I am going to eliminate scramble for next months Division Pairs and see how that works. I also suggested to Mark a Tough Stuff Pair 9 or 18 for the future using only greensomes and altshot. No, it would not be nearly as tough as the current Tough Stuff but a challenge none the less. He said he would consider sometime in September.

Am i missing something here last month on the 23 Alan you posted in the Division Pairs. here is a copy of the post

Disappointing the attendance for the current 7 round tournament. We are just finishing round 6 and only 7 out of 22 teams have played all the rounds. 5 teams have played none and 3 teams 1 round. Setting up 7 rounds is quite time consuming and the lack of attendance is just wasting my time if only a handful of teams actually play. I suggest we end the tournament when the 7th round is complete. Right now I have no desire to set up the next tournament

at that point in time you where ready throw this tourney out because you thought it was not drawing enough pairs of players. now i am of the thinking that we are here to get the most players enjoying the tourneys instead of just catering to the 20% of the better players who have this game mastered.
i think you trying to make the pairs tourney a harder tourney for that 20% is not the right way to go i believe we will loose some players, and this tough stuff pairs has just got to be a joke as not enough people even play the tough tourney to think you could get enough pairs wanting to play a pairs tough stuff tourney.

just thinking out loud

After getting off topic in my last post, i do believe Mark has come up with a good idea here, but to be honest there is a guy
that takes care of this tourney every week, it is up to him how this tourney gets set and i would agree with whatever he comes up with
and have fun playing it.

Mark said go to 5 rds per month so that's why I changed my mind.

To e honest Dave, i love Mark and all he has come up with, not only does he have THE best name in the world, lol.. he has a fantastic web site linked to THE best game in the universe...yes ive had a few too many cherbits......love you all....
...

what's in a cherbit? And whatever it is I must have one.

Quoting myself, but yah 6 cherbits gets you to one off the perfect score (missed the eagle at 11 in Rd2). It's still wide open.
We need a sarcasm emoji. Seven cherbits would have been perfect.
