Sounds like we're already getting in the East's head.  Eventually the 0-fer becomes such a soul-crushing weight that it's virtually impossible to get out from under...

"There can be no quibbles nor quarrels."

Not to quibble, but shouldn't it be "no quibbles or quarrels," or "neither quibbles nor quarrels??"

Typical Sparty I suppose. . .

Tees: blue, but would prefer a white/blue combo if there is one

I have a knack at Kingsley for asking some questions about your game and then sight unseen determining a match for players of any ability that will almost certainly come down to the final two holes without either player giving strokes.  I bet we could create a white / blue tee combo for you that would work. A nice challenge would be to play the Mashie handicapping the entire event by tee adjustments.

When do we find out which team we are playing for?

Tim is right. It is one of the strangest qualities I've ever seen in a person and completely unique.  :D

He created a number of interesting matches on my trip there.

In all fairness, I couldn't have quite handicapped an equitable tee-only adjusted match for you and me but that was a pretty sizable handicap gap I had to work with.  As we experienced, all it takes is one more bad golfer to throw in the mix and play two on one and then the tee adjustments work just fine without strokes.  

For the casual observer, a friend and I lost a match to Steve 3&2 where Steve played the very back tip of every back tee box against the two of us playing our better score from the front of every front tee box.  Just one of many down-to-the-wire, custom Kingsley matches.

It's when Tim adds the cross-country emergency twilight nine to the calculation that the game spirals into advanced chaos theory...

I'd have had more respect for Steve if he had waited a hole, then took you out 3&1.  ;). But that may just be because I have an affinity for 17 after playing it six under in six rounds last weekend. I will grant, however, that Tim's grinding over simply creating the rules for each match (almost certainly a modified somethingorother) is an excellent cure for insomnia. ;D. Tim, this is your cue to make fun of my night golfing ability.

Jud, new cross-country inspired game. Wedge from the bench on the 18th tee to a front pin on 17. Surprisingly doable.

Jud - Tim's four-hole night golf extravaganza was a blast. Youn guys should include that in the Midwest Mashie somehow.

We may have to invoke the back left pin on 13 as well to give the newbie scorecard and pencillers a proper sense of perspective.  One thought- members should be split equally between teams if possible so we don't have a local knowledge bias.

We got them to put the pin back left on 13 my one trip there. Actually they put two pins on the green that day. Of course, we always played to the back left. Lotsa fun.

East has Hufnagel, Schmidt and honorary member JC.  That should suffice.  Plus, just because one is a member doesn't mean that they're able to effectively make use of any local knowledge -- as I can easily demonstrate.

Of those that have golfed with me, I am sure you will agree that I make a better caddie than golfer - or put it another way, "I resemble that remark..."

It's just like the West to hold this event at their unofficial home course. Local knowledge is overrated. The East will be fine with our three Kingsley veterans, and our Licenses.

I highly recommend the food at Kingsley, it is very good (so long as Conklin isn't the one cooking).  Also, I'm not sure driving will be a good idea.....  ;D

All of these comments like "I wonder what the East team thinks" or "my apologies to the West team" seem to imply others know what team they represent.  Did I miss team announcement?  Where is the line drawn for East / West?

My understanding... Start at Lake Michigan and draw a line southward down the western border of Indiana and continue until you get to the western border of Miss. All points east of that line (eg, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc.) are on the East team.

I'll defer to George, though, on the official call.

Of the 23 confirmed on the first page, how many are "east"ers.
