I'll gladly captain the East and my legit handicap is 10.4

REALLY!!  Hmm, makes me wonder why Jud and I were giving you about a million strokes at Beverly a couple months ago.

[JC Jones]

I've worked down to that from where I was 2 months ago and if I recall, I was giving Jud strokes because we played me as a 14 in my 3rd round in 12 months with my first such round coming 5 days prior.

Lewis was the star that day.

[Jason Thurman]

As last year's East team captain, I second JC Jones' motion.

Also, I had a work appointment near Lima today and got on the road last night. It's now 1:00 and I'm officially on vacation for this thing. The excitement is getting palpable.

A 10.4 at the Bev converts to a 13 course handicap, so JC really only got one bonus shot.  And it's not like it mattered due to his play.

This is starting to sound like a Tigerman-Seitz vs Jones-Lewis money (re-)match on Friday afternoon...

Thanks, Captain Jones.

Captain Freeman looks forward to the competition.

Just heard you're looking for a fourth on Sat. I can't do it as I will be out of town till Sat. nite. You might ask Joe Hancock, talked to him last week and he mentioned trying to at least visit during the Mashie.

where near Lima?  Hawthorne HIlls?

[Matthew Sander]

Well, today I returned "the" Mashie to captain Freeman. I'm going to miss that little bugger...

I'm bummed to not be part of the festivities this weekend, but alas, two Kingsley trips in one month wasn't in the cards. I look forward to hearing the reports from the first timers. For me, the course certainly lived up to if not exceeded my expectations. I'm sure everyone will have a great time.

I expect my Chicago boys to do the heavy lifting in keeping the Mashie in the hands of the good guys.

I know there is no shortage of Kingsley pics, but here are a couple of the best shots I took during my weekend there...

Any final requests for Saturday's fourball teams/matches before we set them??

[Howard Riefs]

After 12 pages, I'm shocked nobody has asked the obvious question:

What would happen if 26 guys are caught trespassing at what remains of High Pointe?

The answer:

THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE
Act 328 of 1931

750.552 Trespass upon lands or premises of another; violation; penalty.
Sec. 552.

(1) A person shall not do any of the following:

(a) Enter the lands or premises of another without lawful authority after having been forbidden so to do by the owner or occupant or the agent of the owner or occupant.

(b) Remain without lawful authority on the land or premises of another after being notified to depart by the owner or occupant or the agent of the owner or occupant.

(c) Enter or remain without lawful authority on fenced or posted farm property of another person without the consent of the owner or his or her lessee or agent. A request to leave the premises is not a necessary element for a violation of this subdivision. This subdivision does not apply to a person who is in the process of attempting, by the most direct route, to contact the owner or his or her lessee or agent to request consent.

(2) A person who violates subsection (1) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 30 days or by a fine of not more than $250.00, or both.

George,

Marc K and I form a good two man team for the Sat 4-ball.

Remember boys, better ball of pairs is played off 90% of your course handicap.  Any and all side action will be entertained...

[Chris_Hufnagel]

What would happen if 26 guys are caught trespassing at what remains of High Pointe?

It is really funny you mention that, after the "Rank my courses" thread and how many comments ("I wish I had seen it."), I was thinking a field trip over would be really interesting...

I am guessing there is a gate up on the old entrance and the all you can see of it is the front nine for M72?

[Morgan Clawson]

I'll be arriving mid day on Friday as well.

Looks like great weather this weekend!

[Bill Faley]

Any final requests for Saturday's fourball teams/matches before we set them??

I'd like my partner to be anyone who feels good about his chances for sticking their ball on the 2nd green. Other than that, I'm easy.

In Capt Freeman we trust...

[Pete_Pittock]

I've got a 9:20 at Greywalls and am driving down afterwards.  Doubt that I can make it out to the KC while daylight.  On Saturday morning is there a shotgun start for us double rounders?  If so, what time?

[Michael Whitaker]

WRONG...per USGA handicap manual:

Four-Ball Match Play
Reduce the Course Handicaps of all four players by the Course Handicap of the player with the lowest handicap, who then plays from scratch. Each of the three other players is allowed 100 percent of the difference.

Bill - I made a solid par-par on 2 at my first and only outing to Kingsley earlier this summer, and a big fat X on number 9. If you can make a par 5 or eagle 3 on number 9, maybe we should team up.

Holy s$&@! You learn something every day!  I'm used to the lame better ball stroke play format at my old club.  West squad is a lock now!!

Steve, I was actually down near St. Mary's. That part of the trip was all business though, as I was doing some work in an outpatient facility.

I have been to Hawthorne Hills though. It's about as good a course for the price as you'll find. I'm not sure I've ever played the back 9, but I've played the front a few times when driving through and I've also played the "executive" loop. I really like the par 5 6th (?) with the mound in front of the green.

I'll be out at Kingsley around noon-ish today. Gonna try for a little golf and maybe a little fishing too.

You were thinking strokeplay instead of matchplay.
